The Exposed Flip Clock rolls back the years with a real retro look.
This clock is unique in that its mechanism is exposed for all to see. Notice how the plates rotate against a bent metal finger that releases them only when it is the next plate's turn to fall. Watch the curious dance - the harmony of motors and gears. See, originally this clock had a case covering it, but through a happy accident, it was forgotten. It looks even cooler the way it is, so there you have it.
You can pick one up for $59.99, making this more of a frivolous purchase than a necessity. Let's face it, if you're really hard up for a clock, the cell phone clock should do just fine.
