    Biggest flip clock I have ever seen!


    #2
    Well heck. When I won the lottery I was going to commission one like that.

    I think the one in Pesariis, in the province of Udine, Italy may be bigger. Pesariis is known as the village of the clocks and many clockmakers still work there (many retired, remembering the good old days). They’re famous for their open air “Museo dell’Orologeria Pesarina” it’s like a walking watchmaking museum. One of the clocks is the huge
    “Orologio a palette giganti” (which translates to Giant Flip Clock). The pages turn like some of the older Solari clocks.

    But then again, that other one looks bigger in this photo

      It can be like those age old wind chime neighbor disputes, but with a huge flip clock banging away.
