Product Information
Full details
The Karlsson Big Flip Wall Clock is perfect for homeowners and professionals looking for a blend of vintage aesthetic and functional precision in their timekeeping. Its primary benefit is the high-visibility flip display that allows you to read the time, day, and date at a single glance, making it ideal for busy offices, kitchens, or living spaces. A key caveat to consider is that the unit requires a specific combination of three batteries—two D cells and one AA cell—which are not included in the original packaging.

What are the dimensions of the clock?
The clock measures 43 cm in height, 43 cm in width, and 16 cm in depth.
Can this clock be placed on a desk?

The clock features a high-quality frame designed to house the mechanical flip components.
Does it display the year?
No, it displays the time, day of the week, and the date of the month.
Is the flip mechanism noisy?
The flip mechanism produces a faint, characteristic sound when the cards change, which is normal for this type of retro clock.
Troubleshooting
Flip display is not changing.
Ensure both D batteries are fresh and properly inserted with the correct polarity.
Clock hands are not moving.
Check the AA battery compartment and replace the battery; ensure the battery is seated firmly.
The flip cards are sticking.
Gently ensure there is no debris blocking the path of the flip mechanism and that the clock is mounted perfectly level.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Installation of the Karlsson Big Flip requires mounting the clock on a wall surface capable of supporting its frame and depth. Ensure the mounting hardware (not included) is level before hanging. To power the unit, insert 2 x D batteries into the designated battery compartment for the flip mechanism and 1 x AA battery for the quartz clock movement. To maintain the clock, wipe the exterior periodically with a soft, dry cloth. Avoid placing the clock in areas with high humidity or extreme temperature fluctuations, as this may affect the mechanical flip components and battery lifespan.
