A space age icon for the retro collector.
This Copal RP-233, circa 1970s, is the sought-after swivel pedestal flip clock, made in Japan during the golden age of Space Age design. Orange, glossy, and unmistakably of its era.
Pure pop futurism on a tilt-and-swivel base. It keeps good time, the flip mechanism runs nicely, and the alarm still buzzes when you want it to.
