A quintessential example of Japan’s postwar industrial design boom, the Copal Model 227 captures the exact moment when domestic technology began merging with bold, pop-art aesthetics. During the late 1960s and 1970s, Copal revolutionized timekeeping by popularizing the electromechanical flip mechanism, transforming a purely utilitarian bedroom object into a vibrant sculpture of the space-age era.
The striking contrast between the vivid red casing and the crisp cream-and-black display reflects the era’s obsession with functional futurism. Designed for 180-240 VAC, this vintage flip clock is a fully functional piece bringing together precision engineering, an integrated alarm, and a soft ambient nightlight. Measuring a compact 18×5×7 cm, it stands as a sophisticated statement piece that bridges industrial heritage and interior styling.
