Full details

Its key benefit is the unique, tactile flip mechanism that brings a nostalgic charm to any room, though users should note that the clock requires manual battery installation and the flip mechanism produces an audible "clack" sound with each minute change.

Extended Product Information

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

Ensure the battery contacts are clean of debris and that the batteries are seated firmly in the compartment.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Striking vintage aesthetic that serves as both decor and clock
  • Dual display options allow for varied placement styles
  • High-quality plastic construction feels durable and stable
  • Clear and easy-to-read AM/PM indicator

Cons

  • Requires 2 AA batteries which are not included
  • The flipping mechanism creates a faint clicking noise which may be noticeable in very quiet rooms
  • Non-digital interface lacks alarm or backlight features

Setup, Compatibility & Care

  1. Installation: Insert 2 AA batteries into the designated compartment on the rear of the clock. Ensure polarity matches the markings (+/-).
  2. 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.
  3. 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.
  4. 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.
