So.... any guesses as to what this model is about 1:00 in on the Space:1999 episode "Force Of Life" from 1974? I orginally thought it was a Soundesign, that's why I purchased one as my first clock.

I would look at a sanyo stereo cast, the shape is close. Looking around, the model number seems to be SANYO RM 5430 STEREOCAST
What I could find online was out of the UK and wired accordingly and that makes sense with the show filmed there.

Do Animated Movies count? Turbo (2013) featured a close up of a clock that I thinks is a conglomeration of The Realistic Chronometer 116 and 106 as well as the Emerson Big Time flip clock.
It's clearly not a real flip clock due to errors (knobs on the top and left that would serve no purpose and missing alarm set wheel) But cool regardless.
See the YouTube video of the breakdown of how I think I've figured out the clocks involved.

Has anyone seen the flip clock on the Servant Season 2 trailer? I just noticed it on a commercial on TV. I looked it up on YouTube, it's at about the 57 sec mark. Here's a pic.Attached FilesComment

Apple TV+ show called Physical, S1E1 18:35. Motel room scene with what looks like a small cameo of a Sony FC-59WA, 8FC-69WA or similar. The scene is in 1981 according to show.

Green Lantern from 2011 (currently on netflix). Beside table at around 6min47sec. Although it hasn't been listed here, far as I can tell, there was some mention of it being in the movie back in 2011.
From looking it up, it was called the Bomba Alarm Clock, sporting exposed gears and two blue led lights on either side. (which can be dimmed or turned off) although it looks like the standard battery ones coming out of china, this one does plug into a wall wart. I think the power cord is what's showing under the clock in the movie. Seems like it made the rounds in gadget sites in 2007 with a stated price of $80 USD.
The designer is listed on several sites as a Dutch designer, Will Vanden Vos'. Some places list him as German. Digging a bit more, the name is often attached to the many of the made in china battery clocks with lines like "This flip clock is done in the shape of the Bomba Alarm Clock. The retro-futuristic Bomba Alarm Clock was created by Dutch designer Will Vanden Vos. His works has a strong sense of contemporaneity. He has reinvented the classic flip clock from the seventies."
According to an Amazon seller: "This mechanical retro flip clock was designed by Dutch designer Will Vanden Vos."
Is the name badly misspelled while translated back and forth multiple times?
On a site out of Israel I get the correct spelling of 'Wil Van Den Bos' and this image that includes the designer and the bomba clock.

I had to check this out and get a screen grab. I though it would be something inappropriate. Apparently it's a pile of crap! Nice. Made me look.

New Apple + Original Show: Severance
An interesting concept for a blend of thriller, sci fi.
Wall Clock, S1 Ep4: The You You Are @ 3:24 and 4:44
Shows it flipping from 17:14 to 17:15 but it looks like it might be sped up to make it snappier.
Severance Teaser
Looks to be a newer Leff Amsterdam Branded Brick Wall Clock
