Until now I was unaware that German stereo manufacturer Grundig had ever dabbled in flip clocks. It looks like it's probably just a rebadge of something else (and this particular clock has definitely seen better days), but I thought it interesting enough to warrant a post over here. The eBay listing can be found HERE.

Drumrollclocks yes, flip clocks, not seen them (yet).... Not a super interesting design, then again, not very boring either. -
Here's the red one I shared in the past.
https://www.flipclockfans.com/forum/...-grundig-hr-50
Colors I've seen are white, dark grey (maybe just black?), yellow and red. They come across as a bit fragile, case wise, it's not uncommon to see the top switches broken off. I got the impression the red color was on the surface only but looking back I can't find any examples of that actually being the case, mine had very little wear.
If you like this clock keep an eye out for the Midland International Model 11-396.
Marked made in Taiwan, matching knob layout with a slightly different case design.

I ran a couple names, and it appears to be a "Detson" brand. Old department store maybe? Most of my hits were dead etsy links, where I found this on another clock:

Good find, that's it for sure. Digging a bit I found calculators under the same brand and logo, according to those collector sites Detson (Company appears to have been related to Lloyds and Lloytron. This brand seen in Europe.) So maybe Lloyds was using the Detson branding to sell internationally. Like you said, not much about it clock radio wise...Comment
