翻页时钟 - Copal Space Age 塑料, 金属, 玻璃 - 1960-1970 - 设计师 R. 渡边

The Copal Caslon 401 is an iconic Japanese flip clock designed in 1964 by renowned Japanese designer Riki Watanabe and produced by Copal, a manufacturer internationally recognized for its precision electromechanical clocks. The model takes its name from the Caslon typeface, used for the numeric flip cards—an intentional and refined typographic choice that transforms the clock into both a functional timepiece and a design object of lasting cultural significance. During the 1960s, Copal was at the forefront of flip clock innovation, supplying both domestic and professional markets worldwide. The Caslon 401 was conceived as a wall clock, designed for modern interiors, architectural studios, offices, and cultural spaces where clarity, rhythm, and visual balance were essential. The historical and design importance of this model is confirmed by its presence in the collection of the M+ Museum in Hong Kong, one of the leading international museums dedicated to design, architecture, and visual culture. Compact rectangular case with softly rounded edges Elegant grey finish, understated and timeless Wide cream-coloured inner bezel enhancing contrast and readability Real glass front (not plastic), a rare and desirable feature Caslon-style black numerals on light-coloured flip cards Side-mounted adjustment knob, minimal and functional The overall design is perfectly balanced and expressive without excess, embodying the principles of Japanese modernism. Model: Caslon 401 Type: Wall clock Designer: Riki Watanabe Year of design: 1964 Width: 20 cm Height: 13 cm Depth: 10 cm Materials: plastic case, glass front Movement: electromechanical flip clock Backlight: working Functionality: fully working, keeps excellent time. The clock is in very good vintage condition. No cracks or structural damage are present. The case, glass, flip mechanism, and backlight are well preserved and fully functional. A video showing the actual item, its condition, flip movement, and backlight in operation is available at the following link and forms an integral part of the description: https://youtube.com/shorts/hlU8SAdmUKA?si=WH6PWUDN5ULcFM-g The item offered is original, vintage, and pre-owned, and is described accurately and in good faith. As this is a vintage item, minor signs of age and normal wear are to be expected and are fully consistent with its age and use. Any structural damage, missing parts, or non-functioning features are clearly disclosed in the description and/or are visible in the photographs and video, which form an integral part of the listing. Colours may appear slightly different due to lighting conditions and individual screen settings. Before listing, the item has been carefully cleaned, tested, and documented with detailed photographs and video. All functions mentioned in the description have been tested and verified at the time of listing and will be tested again prior to shipment. The item will be professionally packed using appropriate protective materials and double-boxed where necessary. Shipping will be tracked and insured, and the item will be handed over to the carrier in the same condition as documented prior to dispatch. In the unlikely event of damage during transport, the buyer is kindly invited to follow Catawiki’s official procedures within the specified timeframe. The buyer is responsible for providing a correct and complete shipping address and for collecting the parcel within the carrier’s stated delivery timeframe. In cases of non-collection, refusal of delivery, or an incorrect address, Catawiki’s applicable terms and conditions will apply. By placing a bid, the buyer confirms that they have carefully read the full description and reviewed all accompanying images and video. This is a vintage electro-mechanical item. Due to its age and original components, minor variations in performance, accuracy, or behaviour may occur over time, even if fully functional at the time of testing. The clock is intended for normal use consistent with its age, or for collection and display.
