Considered desk character
A small piece of motion for the corner of a desk.
It turns the time over
Printed numerals sit on a split-flap blade mechanism that flips the hour over on its own. It reads as character on the desk, not a gadget begging for attention.
Quiet by design
The quartz movement keeps it silent, so the only thing it adds to the room is the flip on the hour. No tick, no hum to work alongside.
Sized for the edge
Vintage European lines in a compact case, built for a workspace shelf or the edge of a desk. It earns its footprint instead of crowding it.

Questions
Good to know before you equip.
How does the flip display work?
Printed numerals sit on a split-flap blade mechanism that turns the hour over on its own, with a perpetual calendar reading below the time. It is a physical flip, so you get a small piece of motion on the desk rather than a digital screen.
Does it plug in, or is it battery powered?
It runs on a single AA battery, included, for roughly six months. There is no cord across the desk and nothing to plug in, so you set it down, set the time, and it keeps running.
How big is it, and will it fit on a shelf?
The case is a compact 8.3 x 3.1 x 6.7 inches (21 x 8 x 17 cm), built for the edge of a desk or a workspace shelf. Note the shipping box runs larger at 10.9 x 4.9 x 8.3 inches to protect the case and blades in transit, so do not size your shelf off the box.
Is it noisy?
It runs on a quiet quartz movement, so it keeps time without a loud tick. The split-flap turns the numerals over on the hour, which is the main motion you will notice.
What colors does it come in?
It comes in black or white. Both are the same compact case with the split-flap display and perpetual calendar, so the choice is purely about which reads better on your desk.
What is it made of?
The case is PVC and metal, housing a quartz movement and the split-flap display. The materials keep it compact while protecting the flipping blades inside.
How do I keep it clean?
Wipe it with a soft dry cloth. Keep moisture away from the blade mechanism, and a dry wipe is all the description calls for to keep the case looking right.
