Inspiration

This project is inspired by the classic flip clocks and split-flap displays used in airports and train stations during the 1960s–1970s.

One of the most iconic designs is the Solari Cifra 3, created by Italian designer Gino Valle in 1965.

The mechanical flipping animation became a symbol of industrial design and analog precision.
