Vintage flip clocks are Indeed a wonderful example of European inventiveness. The story of the flip clock begins in Italy with the founding of the company Solari di Udine in
1948. Remigio Solari, a self-taught engineer, fitted alphanumeric characters and text onto
metal (later plastic) flaps attached on a wheel mechanism, enclosed it within a glass display
and the flip display was born.
