Questions
How long is delivery?
Free delivery to the US, UK, Canada and Australia. Your order ships within 3 days and arrives in about 8 to 18 business days, with a tracking link. You see the delivery time at checkout before you pay.
What if it arrives damaged?
Send us a photo within 7 days and we replace it or refund you, your choice. Every piece is packed to arrive whole.
Which battery does it take?
One AA battery, not included. The maker says a battery lasts about 5 to 6 months and recommends an ordinary carbon battery rather than an alkaline one.
Is it silent?
The movement is quartz, but the maker does not call it silent: each minute a card flips over with a soft click.
How big is it?
21 cm (8.3 in) wide, 16 cm (6.3 in) tall and 8 cm (3.1 in) deep.
How do I set the time?
Turn the knob on the side of the minute cards. Turn it one way only, as the arrow shows, and do not flip the cards by hand.
What if a card comes loose in transit?
The cards are soft PVC and can slip off their pins on the way; they clip back in. If it will not run as it should, send us a photo and we replace it.
Can I return it?
No need to send anything back. Our 90-day guarantee: if you are not happy with it, email us within 90 days of delivery with your order number and a short line on why, and we refund you in full. You keep the piece. A damaged or faulty piece is replaced or refunded.

Balance Scale Flip Clock

Most desk clocks sit still. This one moves: once a minute a card drops over on the right, once an hour on the left, and the whole thing balances on a single steel column like a small set of scales.

The polished steel and black cards suit a walnut desk or a dark shelf; the all-white version is quieter on a pale bookcase. It needs one AA battery and nothing else, so it can stand wherever you read, work or wake up.
