Blessing-Werke was founded in Germany in 1940 by Rudolf Blessing (1889-1969) where primarily small alarm clocks were manufactured.
After WW II the factory was able to re-start again and they subsequently establish themselves as the largest European alarm clock manufacturer.
In 1975 Blessing went bankrupt and finally closed down in 1977.

The Panasonic RC-6030 made an appearance in the 1998 movie, "There's Something About Mary."
What a wasted opportunity. This is a FlipClockFans movie review and complaint that the movie 5-25-77 did not have a flip clock in it. This started when a viewer of this channel notified us that there was a strange flip clock in this movie.

The video even brings to light a unrecognized movie mistake in the film. During one scene, the Panasonic RC-6030 changes to the RC-6040. This is clearly seen as the props department obscured the "Panasonic" on the clock, but the RC-6040 displays it proudly. Not to mention the 6040 has a curved front viewing piece and a sleep button on the top right.

That depends on what kind of clock you have in your hands.
This is a beautiful Howard Miller Cylinder Clock which uses a Copal 2 mechanism. Essentially this the same mechanism that is in a Copal Caslon 101. This is a synchronous self-starting motor. All you do is plug it in. If it doesn't start, nine times out of ten all it needs is for the motor to be oiled.
But what about these kinds of flip clocks. The battery operated ones with this starting lever.
The problem is that many people try to push this lever down hard, like they were trying to start a motorcycle. But what you need to understand is that it's not in the pushing down that starts the clock, but in the letting go. Gently letting the lever go gets this whirligig spinning. And Yes, it's called a whirligig.

Although it received mixed reviews, this 2009 science fiction flick is definitely watchable. And even more-so because they included this interesting battery operated flip clock.
The clock came out around 1973 so it could be considered technically out of place since the movie is set in 2009. But It's more likely that the director wanted to show that Nicholas Cage's character had some class.
The clock was one of copal's "Tuning Fork" clocks - which basically meant that it was an early quartz clock. A big deal at the time, but now a detail sure to evoke yawns.
Still, this clock remains one of the prized clocks in the Flip Clock Fans collection.
The clock features a Copal flip clock mechanism and a non-functional camera mock-up.
The name Asanuma refers to a Japanese camera company established in 1871. This clock came out around 1971 to commemorate the 100 year anniversary of this company.
