AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

Table clock "flip clock" Artin, model 3500, manufactured in Hong Kong, probably between the late 1960s and mid-1970s.

A piece with evident "space age" and "retro-futurist" language, with a pale yellow-cream plastic case in rounded lines, a smoked front display and a mechanical "flip" display, a time-change system by tilting flaps that marked the era's sophisticated spaces.
Electric model Artin 3500, powered by 180/245V AC – 50Hz, 3 watts, produced in Hong Kong.
In good overall condition and in working order.
Maintains excellent aesthetic presence, with light signs of use compatible with its age.
The flip mechanism operates correctly, preserving the characteristic mechanical motion of the minutes change.
The contrast between the darkened display and the large white numbers creates a strong visual presence, very typical of 1970s design.
The images are part of the description and should be examined carefully.
The item will be well packed to ensure maximum integrity during transport.
Fast shipping with tracking code.
Thank you for bidding.
