I love vintage flip clocks! I can remember gazing up at one particular flip clock as a little girl when my dad would take me to the building society. I was fascinated by the apparent simplicity of the technology, the bound and determined moving parts, and the loud clicks as the numbers snapped precisely into place.
I don't own one myself just yet, so instead I make do with this digital version - "Fliqlo". Fliqlo is a free screensaver for Windows or Macs which imitates a flip clock. The time can be customised to display in 12-hour or 24-hour formats. You can also customise the zoom using the up and down arrow keys.
My only complaint is that it does not 'click' - oh well, I guess you can't have everything!
