I really adore the Vintage Galileo Thermometer. It’s a beautifully crafted piece that fits perfectly on our mantle. Just wish the clock had a slight louder tick.

Bought this for a bit of fun and it really is a conversation starter! Its elegance is unmatched, although I think the thermometer could react faster to temperature changes.

The Galileo Thermometer is cracking, my friends are always intrigued by it. However, I do think the clock could be a tad bigger.
Tom Harris –
bit of a bother really, waited nearly two weeks for it to arrive. Nice once it did, but not as big as I thought. Would’ve liked if it came with more than just vague pictorial instructions.
