Looks like final_countdown expects the time as Unix time (seconds since 1.1.1970) but $.now() returns milliseconds since 1.1.1970

    $('document').ready(function() {
        'use strict';
        $('.countdown').final_countdown({
            'start': 1452402000,
            'end': 1458298800,
            'now':  Math.floor($.now() / 1000)  // strip the milliseconds
        });
    });
