Vintage Slate Mounted Desktop Perpetual Calendar

Jon Nix — Fri, 07 Apr 2023 15:52:29 +0000

Almost de rigeur once upon a time - you know, that time before your mobile phone did just about everything. The perpetual calendar is still a very nice desktop accessory and actually rather useful too. This one is mounted on a piece of slate (of course) with green felt underside. The body of the calendar is in black plastic with a textured finish and has a silver tone fascia. It works. It tells you the day, date and month, but only if you remember to change it (perpetually).

Measures approximately 23cm (9 in.) in width (across the front), with a maximum depth of 10cm (4 in.) and a height of 7.5cm (3 in.). It weighs about 750g.

Vintage Woodgrain Copal Model 229 Flip Clock Alarm with Day Display

Jon Nix — Tue, 26 Oct 2021 21:55:23 +0000

A very desirable Copal Model 229 Flip Clock with Alarm and day display, made in Japan and dating from the 1970s. In good working condition with a "buzzer" alarm and woodgrain plastic casing with no cracks to the display and with all knobs and dials intact. In common with most Japanese flip clocks, this uses the 24-hour format for time display and alarm setting.

In very good cosmetic condition with only minimal signs of age and use. Functionally, the alarm and clock work as they should, though as with many of these clocks of the period there are occasions when the hour number doesn't flip immediately on the hour but rights itself after a few minutes. The unit measures approximately 18cm by 9cm by 9cm when in use and is supplied with a UK three-pin style plug. We recommend customers perform their own PAT tests on electrical appliances before use.

West German Krups Type 621 White Flip Clock with Day/Night and Day Display

Jon Nix — Wed, 07 Oct 2020 12:57:37 +0000

Technically a cyclometer rather than a flip clock, the Krups 621 is a small but perfectly formed analogue clock with alarm, day/night and day name display (in German), and rotating seconds indicator. It's an understated slab of minimal design in the vein of Dieter Rams and the Braun design ethos, with a flat front angled slightly upwards from the slender base. The front is dominated by the contrasting display panel whilst the rest of the unit is subtle and sculpted, with no fuss to it at all. Even the time and alarm adjustment knob is cleverly configured to cause the least amount of surface interruption. There's a clean, space-age feel to it.

In fully working condition and with superficial wear and tear to be expected from an item of its age and use. There are no chips or cracks to the casing. It measures approximately 18cm across the front, extends to a depth of 11cm and is 8cm at its highest. Please note, this unit requirees a 240V power supply and is currently wired to a UK 3-pin plug.
