About This Piece

This retro-style desk clock tells time through physically turning numbered flip cards rather than a digital screen. The matte black body sits on a dark-stained wood base, and bright lime-green numerals on black flip cards make the time easy to read from across the room. It runs on batteries, so you can place it on any desk, shelf, or nightstand without hunting for an outlet.

Hour and minute panels sit symmetrically on either side of a central vertical post, each advancing through a fan of numbered cards. The large lime-green numerals on black cards are easy to read at a glance, even from a distance. The clock rests on a wood base with a dark-stained finish and visible grain texture. A non-slip pad on the underside keeps it stable on smooth desk surfaces. The rear battery compartment keeps cords out of the picture entirely. A rotary knob on the right side of the minute hand area lets you set the time without any tools.

Flip clock with green numbers on a wooden base

Why we chose it

Good design, with a point of view

Flip clocks have a particular energy, the satisfying card-advance, the bold numerals, the absence of any glowing screen. This one pairs that retro mechanism with a dark wood base and a frosted black finish that works equally well on a cluttered home-office desk or a spare living room shelf. Battery powered means zero cable management headaches.

Styling note

A little guidance from our edit

The dark wood base and matte black body pair well with warm-toned wood desk accessories or a marble-finish desk mat for contrast. A retro or industrial-style table lamp nearby pulls the look together on a home office desk or a living room shelf.
