Black and White Flip Clock Large Station, Factory Clock, 1970s, France

About the Item

Timeless Bodet black and white flip-flap station clock designed by the company that has been equipping French and Belgium stations for their big clocks for several decades. They inform travelers of the time that is running! This pretty specimen from the 1970s and 80s will ensure your punctuality while offering a beautiful Industrial and modern look to your interior decor. The flip-flap clock is vintage and dates from the 1970s Formerly a slave clock, now fitted with a pulse print generator. Imagine how a normal flip clock works: There's a clock movement inside, powered by batteries or the mains, and once a minute it electrically releases a catch that allows the next digit to flip into view. Your slave clocks work like that, but with one difference: There's no clock movement inside; there's only the display with its flip mechanism. The slave clocks depend on an EXTERNAL clock movement -- a "master clock" -- to generate the electric Signal that advances the clock display.
