AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

Iconic and highly decorative “Big Flip” produced by the Dutch brand Karlsson, renowned for its retro-inspired contemporary design.

This is the rare large-size version, now difficult to find and no longer in production. Smaller Karlsson flip clock models occasionally appear on the market, but this “Big Flip” version is considerably rarer.

The clock combines a large mechanical flip calendar with an integrated analog clock, making it both a functional timepiece and an impressive design object. The display shows year, weekday, date, and month through the classic flipping mechanism inspired by vintage office and railway station clocks from the 1960s and 1970s.

The piece features a stylish square case with rounded corners, silver finish, and high-contrast black front panel, perfectly matching Space Age and Mid-Century Modern interiors.

Ideal for collectors of vintage design objects, modern interiors, loft spaces, offices, or industrial-style décor.

Dimensions:

Height: approx. 43 cm
Width: approx. 43 cm
Depth: approx. 16 cm

Condition:
Good overall vintage condition with working flip mechanism.
The clock shows some minor signs of age and use, visible in the photographs:
slight abrasion on the lower left edge of the plastic case;
small marks/wear on the lower edges of the front plexiglass.

Overall, the piece remains very attractive and highly decorative.
