Retro Flip Clock

🕰️ Watch the minutes flip by

Flip clocks, the ones with number cards that turn over, are a retro classic you can't stop looking at. This flip desk clock brings that charm home with a double-bell balance design: a central column with a number drum hanging on each side.

Every minute a card flips over. No screen, no glow, just a small, satisfying movement. A quartz movement and a single battery do all the work, and you get a design piece that also tells the time. Perfect for the living room, a bedside table, a home office or a dorm room. It's also an easy gift to love: for a housewarming, a birthday, the holidays or a retro-loving colleague.

✨ What makes it special

• Self-turning cards – a new card flips every minute, automatically.
• Retro balance design – ABS and metal frame.
• One battery – a single D battery lasts about 5 months (carbon-zinc, per the supplier).
• Easy setting – a turning knob on the minute side.

🎨 Which style?

Three looks to choose from: a square wooden base in several colors, a single leg on a dome base, or a two-leg stand. Most versions show 12-hour time with AM/PM, and there are 24-hour versions too.

📝 Setup

❓ FAQ

How long does a battery last?
About 5 months with a carbon-zinc battery, according to the supplier.

Why didn't the card flip in the first minute?
That's normal. The movement needs a minute before it starts flipping cards, so set it one minute ahead.

Is there a 24-hour version?
Yes. The wooden-base style comes in 24-hour versions in black and white.

Does it make a good housewarming gift?
Definitely. It ships in a printed product box with a plastic insert, and it looks great on any shelf or sideboard.
