The screensaver turns your screen into an old-fashioned flip-clock that looks like the clocks invented in Italy in the mid-twentieth century. The idea of the flap display came from the Solari Di Udine company when the founder added numbers and text onto metal flaps attached to a wheel mechanism and enclosed it within glass. The world’s first information viewing system was born! These flap displays became knows as Solari boards and were installed in rail and air terminals throughout the world. They are still in use today because – great design.
Did you know that the study, collection and repair of flip clocks is termed horopalettology Neither did we. (From horology – the study and measurement of time and palette – from the Italian “Orologi a palette” – Italian for flip clock.) And if you are interested in the collection, restoration, buying and selling of flip clocks, you would be called called a horopalettologist.
You can get your very own flip clock screensaver at Fliqlo.

What users say about Endless Slideshow Screensaver
Screensaver Clock Mac
Of the available screensavers I was able to use Endless Slideshow was the best! We have the computer connected to the TV and Endless Slideshow is our default screensaver and randomly selects one of the 2000+ photos from our My Pictures directory and folders. We sometimes just watch the screensaver for entertainment.
