Following on Betsy Benn personalised destination print, here's another piece of art that can be personalised: a 'date of birth' flip clock poster.
The designers, A Piece Of, have depicted a classic retro flip clock with the difference being that you get to pick the day of the week, along with the date and time showing on the clock. You can even pick the colour too. Ideally suited to celebrate a new birth, it could of course be used to mark other significant days in your life.
You can get the artwork at 30.5 x 30.5 cm for £17.95 or 50cm x 50cm for £24.95.

Vyconic specialises in refurbishing old record players to create Turntable Clocks.
The old pieces of equipment have been re-painted with bright colours, a classic piece of vinyl placed on the turntable and clock mechanism added, to create a truly distinctive piece. I’m presuming that the turntables were beyond repair and the vinyl scratched, otherwise it might be seen as a waste. Prices range from £50 to over £100 depending on the turntable used.
Buy them online from the Vyconic store on Etsy.
More retro-style electronics from Crosley, this time a clock radio alarm clock. Available from Urban Outfitters, this is fashioned to look like a vintage design.

The clock costs £55.

Coming soon to Graham and Green is this Lemonade Bottle Top Clock.
Yes, it is a clock designed to look like a vintage bottle top with scalloped edges, but I think it just about stays the right side of novelty. The clock face is green and has a worn appearance that adds to the shabby chic look.
It costs £25 and can be pre-ordered now, for delivery in late December, probably too late for it to be a Christmas gift. Order it online from Graham and Green.
We've featured plenty of vintage flip clocks in the past, but this large 1970s flip wall clock by E A Combs is up there with any of them.
Made by E A Combs of London, probably in the 70s, but possibly sneaking into the 80s, it's a large item, around 17 inches across, with the date and time and battery power to keep it ticking over. Downside? At 5kg+ in weight, you'll need to secure it well if you want it on your wall.
A few bids, but still well priced at £31.
