If you do see a tempus fugit clock online without a brand or name identification accompanying it, it is probably a small and inexpensive clock made by copycats. These clocks usually have a retail price of about $500 but it actually only cost less so buyers must be careful and watchful of any fakes out there so that they will not be easily deceived.
