You can use the sturdy circular stand for a stylish look or set it directly on the wheels for a playful presentation. The clock measures 18 x 20 x 20 cm with the stand, or 12 cm high without it.

FAQs
Does the propeller spin automatically?
The propeller is a decorative element and part of the clock's static design; it does not rotate automatically as a fan.
Is this clock suitable for a quiet bedroom?
The clock produces a soft, audible 'clack' sound when the minute panels flip. Most users find this pleasant, but it may be noticeable if you are extremely sensitive to sound.
Can I wall-mount this clock?
No, this model is designed specifically as a desktop or shelf-top piece and does not include hardware for wall mounting.
What happens if I turn the time-setting knob backwards?
Turning the knob against the intended direction can put stress on the mechanical flip gears. Always set the time by turning the knob forward.
Are the batteries included?
No, 2 AA batteries are required but are not included in the packaging.
How do I switch between the stand and the wheels?
The stand is a detachable accessory. You can lift the plane off the circular stand and place it directly on a flat surface to rest on its wheels.
Troubleshooting
The flip panels are stuck or skipping numbers
Check if the batteries are low. Replace with fresh high-quality alkaline batteries to provide sufficient power to the mechanical gear.
The clock is losing time

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Installation: Insert 2 AA batteries into the designated compartment on the rear of the clock. Ensure polarity matches the markings (+/-).
Time Setting: Use the adjustment knob located on the side or rear to set the current time. Turn the knob only in the direction indicated to avoid damaging the flip leaves.
Display Configuration: To use the stand, align the base of the plane with the circular mount. For a tabletop display, simply place the unit on its wheels on a level surface.
Maintenance: Dust the flip panels gently with a dry microfiber cloth. Avoid using liquid cleaners or water as these can damage the delicate internal mechanism or the paper-based flip leaves.
