The Flip Clock
The Flip Clock
Time looks different when it moves like this.
The Flip Clock is a mechanical desk clock that displays the hour and minute on a series of cards that fall in sequence, one after another, with a soft satisfying click that marks every passing minute. It is an object that has been telling time this way since the 1960s and it has never looked more at home than it does right now, sitting on a shelf in a city apartment that knows what it wants.
There are no screens. No notifications. No backlight competing with the room. Just a polished chrome base, a geometric card display and the quiet rhythm of a clock doing exactly one thing beautifully.
Place it on a bedside table, a desk, a console or a bookshelf in your livingroom. It works in every room and elevates every surface it sits on. The kind of object that makes guests ask where you got it.
Setting Your Clock
To set the time, turn the time adjuster on the right side of the clock counter clockwise. Set the time one minute ahead of the exact current time to ensure accuracy from the first flip. The clock operates in 12 hour AM and PM mode. The flip cards are designed to be removed and reinstalled if needed and handle them carefully at the edges to avoid bending.

CARE & MAINTENANCE
Every object in the Leather on Leather collection is chosen not just for how it looks on arrival, but for how it lives in your space over time. These are not disposable pieces. They are meant to be kept, used, and noticed for years and with a little intention, they will be.
Candles
Trim the wick to 5mm before every burn without exception. A long wick produces an uneven flame, excess smoke, and a candle that burns through itself too quickly. On the very first light, allow the wax to melt all the way to the edge of the vessel before extinguishing. A full melt pool prevents tunnelling,
Never burn a candle for more than four hours in a single sitting. Always place on a heat safe surface and keep away from drafts, open windows, curtains, and anything flammable. When approximately 1cm of wax remains, retire the candle. The vessel is worth keeping.
Stone and Marble
Natural travertine and marble are living materials. The pitting, veining, and tonal variation across every stone piece in our collection is not inconsistency, it is what separates a real stone object from an imitation of one.
After each use wipe gently with a soft dry cloth to remove any dust or ash residue. Avoid acidic liquids such as wine, citrus, or vinegar directly on the surface as marble and travertine are porous and will absorb over time. Do not use abrasive cloths, scourers, or chemical spray cleaners. Water is fine for a quick wipe but avoid soaking or prolonged moisture exposure.
With minimal care your stone pieces will develop a gentle patina over time that only makes them more beautiful.
Metal
The chrome and stainless steel pieces in our collection maintain their finish best when wiped regularly with a soft dry cloth. Avoid leaving water sitting on the surface for extended periods as this can leave mineral deposits, particularly in areas with hard water. Do not use steel wool, abrasive sponges, or bleach based cleaners as these will scratch and dull the polished surface permanently.
A gentle wipe down after each use is genuinely all these pieces need.
Ceramic
Our ceramic pieces are glazed and durable but benefit from gentle handling. Wipe clean with a soft damp cloth and dry immediately. Avoid dishwashers, prolonged soaking, and abrasive cleaning tools. The irregular forms and textures that make each ceramic piece distinctive can be more delicate at their edges, so handle with care when moving or styling.
If you ever have a question about a specific piece or need guidance beyond what is here, reach out to us directly. We are always happy to help.
