  • About This Work
    Video: Dator 60 by Solari Lineadesign

    The Dator 60 expands time viewing beyond hours and minutes. An evolution of the flip clock, it displays the time, day of the week, and date at a glance. A perpetual calendar, it even accounts for February 29, adjusting automatically for leap years. In 2015, the Solari Lineadesign brand reintroduced the historic products that made Solari Udine famous—including the Dator 60.

    A distinctive object offered in stacked or horizontal orientation, its design enriches the spaces where we live, work, and gather.

    Minimalist lines and a crisp black-and-white display ensure exceptional visibility, even from a distance. From a sun-filled beach house to a softly lit interior, the Dator 60 reads clearly in any setting.

    Available in black or white, it comes in two orientations: horizontal, with the data aligned on a single line; or vertical, presenting—from the top down—date, day of the week (in our preferred Italian or English), and 24-hour time. Its understated style and adaptability make the Dator 60 at home in virtually any environment, whether workplace, residence, or shared space.

    The updated 2026 models introduce mobile app connectivity for effortless time-setting (manual adjustment remains available) and a rechargeable lithium battery with an approximate six-month cycle.

    HISTORY
    Solari Udine's language, culture, and traditions are unmistakably Italian, and the story of its clocks is inseparable from its technologically revolutionary flip clock—a system devised by Remigio Solari and developed with architect Gino Valle in the late 1950s. As a clockmaker, Solari spans three centuries.

    The first of the "flip" family was the Cifra 5, winner of the Compasso d'Oro in 1956. Designed by Valle in collaboration with illustrator and graphic designer Michele Provinciali, it gave rise to a visionary communication system of numbers and letters.

    The Emera 5 followed as the first evolution of the Cifra 5, adding the day of the week. Then, in 1965, the Dator 60 became the first direct-reading calendar clock—its metal leaves displaying the time, date, and day of the week.
