Default Anybody's clock gone like this?

It started off as light cracking of the paint a few weeks ago, but over the past week it has quickly got worse. Is this a Suzuki problem or a 1 off?

What I can't understand is why it has only gone at the top. If it was sunlight, I would have thought the whole face would have gone
