Another one of my recent eBay finds, a Bulova flip clock! I'm a large Bulova fan in general, the accutron watch movement / brand is what I believe to be one of the under-appreciated marvels of the 20th century.
Just for fun, a picture of my 1967 Accutron Spaceview I acquired this summer, it has a important story behind it.
Back to the other Bulova! This is my first flip clock from this brand, so I was wondering what sort of mechanism / construction it would use. Turns out, it's very similar to other "non-copal" mechanism flip clocks from the time, like Seth Thomas.
As like any clock I scrummage from eBay, it was filthy! But not broken at least.
You can tell it was a survivor, even as dirty as it is, the neon bulb is still trying after all this time at the very tip!
