Here is an interesting Rhythm battery flip clock made in Japan. I like battery flip clocks as the older ones have interesting workings. This one is operated by a 1.5 volt C battery. The alarm is driven by a small motor which operates a brass bell. Very old school. There is not much information available on the net so I take it that there were not many made.

These are nice clocks indeed! Not sure if they were rare back in the day, but you don't come across them very often nowadays. This particular clockwork is also found in similar, non-flip-clocks, with just hands, I might have one laying around somewhere. The alarm on these is just great, the sound it makes is also lovely! -
Yes. I like the way it has a window showing the movement of the balance wheel. A nice touch.Comment
