Copal 702 Flip Clock

A compact piece with undeniable presence—this vintage Copal 702 flip clock carries a weight and substance that immediately sets it apart. Designed in an era when durability and craftsmanship came standard, its thick aluminum cabinet feels as solid as it looks—cool to the touch, purposeful, and unmistakably mid-century industrial. This version is the 100-volt JDM model which was identical to the US version except for motor input voltage. Copal was the quiet giant behind nearly every flip clock movement of the era, supplying mechanisms to countless manufacturers. What you have here is not just a clock—it’s the original standard. This particular example is a less common white-digit variant, offering a more refined, elegant contrast against the brushed aluminum body. Finding a Copal 702 in this condition is increasingly rare—especially a white-tile variant with a clean cabinet and fully restored internals. This is a piece that bridges function and display: equally at home on a nightstand or as part of a curated vintage collection.
