Retro Flip Watch AKA Flippy Thing Watch - Now with extra flippyness

[evanmwstuart]

this is disgusting.

[williefleete]

i've made a watch that displays in binary with an hourly that beeps the number of hours past midday/night while showing the time in 24 hour plus it has a set alarm which beeps until its turned off or the hour increments

it all just squeezes into a small jiffy box with an analogue clock driver board and a PICAXE 20M micro

lets see you get on a plane with that

You have way more free time than I have.

[jone3333333333]

and can you make your own?

[jone3333333333]

how does the clock work

[jeriellsworth]

@jone3333333333 It has little cards that fall down when the spindle in the middle rotates.

[gotchastudio]

Great Idea!! you can call it "Weight training clock" :D

What's with the fruit laughing in the background? That killed it for me. 

[johnfranks]

is your brushed motor accurate enough to prevent undershoot / overshooting?

i picked up one of these clocks from the thrift shop and after a quick once over, i think a stepper will give me the most accuracy.

fwiw, the original motor is called a synchronous motor.

good job!

what the heel its so freking big

[blackfly303]

Wow! Creativity AND Science! And so pleased!  I would assume it could be called a "rolodex style" watch... but I'm not sure of the official name, though I think there was one.

[SneakerHustler]

lol sweet....have you thought about mass producing this watch.....lol a 110 volt motor....have you considered keeping the motor and wearing a battery backpack to keep it authentic and original....and wow she is cute....

[hydrolisk1792]

LOL, she reminds me of my wife, she also does crazy shit like this. Amazing as well, nice video.

[Kutter78]

Two words -- WICKEDLY AWESOME!

[GratefulJWB]

That deserves an article in Make magazine! I have a few of these old clocks with seized 115v motors, and would love to get a few back in operation.

[wadavison]

Amazing and hilarious!

And, yeah, I'm totally in love with Jeri...

[jforb427]

I've heard them called "flip clocks". Although back then they were advertised as "digital clocks" also they weren't so common in the 60s, they were more of a 70s thing....before LEDS and ICs became affordable in the mid 70s.

I have a Cathode Corner Nixie wristwatch, and it gets occasional scrutiny at the airport...that thing would be asking for trouble.

[hustler539]

5 stars cuz she's cute :P

[dannyhu84]

OMG. lmfao...... i love it.

[calvinthedestroyer]

hey guy's just mail the clock to were you are going. Don't take that on a plane. I think they are just called "flip down clocks" I did a quick patent search on it and didn't find anything, chances are it was never patented or the patent ran out. Hmm, Jerri could be on to the next FAD!

[pokerastin8r]

To complete the look, the Nano has to play Sonny & Cher "I Got You Babe" at 7:01.

[nine32]

Awesome, I want to try to build one. And circuitgirl is totally cute and smart.

[hioctaneredfuel]

[lewisleeming]

Haha! Very, very good. Jeri - you're a modern genius.
