Before you can brag to your friends, you'll need to set up the time which turned out to be a tedious process depending on the current time and the time that has been set on the Giant Flip Clock you just took out of the box.
What if you don't have any room left in your workspace? Well you can always mount the Giant Flip Clock on your wall using one of the two mounting brackets around the back polished metal frame that houses the clock mechanism gears. Out of the box, the Giant Flip Clock is ready to flip thru time and look ridiculously awesome on your desk. If you're a flip clock fan or just someone who wants to add a sweet gadget to their desk, this is the one-of-a-kind clock to get. That's the place where you can get clocks that are anything but your run-of-the-mill, plain Jane clocks most of us have in our homes and offices. This is the Giant Flip Clock from the people over at the Little Clock Shop. Thankfully, I can now let go of my virtual XouClock flip clock screen saver, iPhone and iPad apps for the real thing. There's something unique and intriguing about the way a flip clock looks and works. Like many others, I caught the popular flip clock fever.
Maybe it was because that up until now, the clocks I've come to know were so plain and boring that I've always looked for an alternative route like putting my huge 27-inch display to good use for displaying digital time in a flip clock fashion.
#Flipclock fans download
They do make a mini size, though, or you could just download the Fliqlo screensaver from 9031 and save time and money.Clocks never interest me unlike watches. It’s pretty huge - 17″ square - so it’s not really something you’d want to put on your desk. The output from these budget devices only approximates a sine wave (shown below) and it’s not very smooth. The whole thing extends about 6″ from the wall. W hat is flipclock Many electronic devices will not run smoothly and quietly with this waveform and, since the manufacturer was not focused on precision, they don’t have the frequency accuracy needed, either. I took that second photo from the side so you can see how deep the plastic cover on the clock is. Also, the nicer the rest of the kitchen gets, the more I hate that metal door. Yes, it’s killing me that I still haven’t been able to tile that wall (we need the weather to warm up so we can have the radiators temporarily removed first!), and obviously the clock will look a lot better once there’s a bunch of shiny white subway tile and fancy black grout to set it off. In short, keep your eye on the prices, shop around, and check eBay before buying!)
There are few other US retailers, but they all seem to have it priced much higher. It’s listed for $164 today, but just a few days ago it was up around $200. (By the way, the price on Amazon seems to fluctuate pretty wildly. I’ll let you know if it ever breaks down, but at this point my review is a thumbs-up.
#Flipclock fans manual
I realize that four months isn’t a very long time, but that is long enough for it to have cycled through a few months of varying lengths (I did have to make a manual adjustment at the end of February, which is understandable) and several hundred flip configurations, so I have a good feeling so far. I’ve had it running for about four months now, and I haven’t had any issues at all. I think people have a tendency to leave feedback for certain things only when they’re dissatisfied, so Amazon reviews aren’t always the best way to research the real-life quality of a product.Īnyway, a very kind D16 reader also emailed me about one that was listed on eBay (new, in box) for a very low price, so I took a chance and bought it. A number of you commented here and on Twitter to let me know that you own the same clock (or the nearly-identical Flap clock from Habitat, also manufactured by Karlsson) and that it works just fine. Back when I posted about my kitchen overhaul plans in November, I mentioned the poor reviews on Amazon for Karlsson’s Big Flip wall clock.
