Cifra 3
The Cifra 3 Script error: No such module "IPA". is a digital flip clock manufactured by Solari di Udine, S.p.A., Italy. It was designed by Italian architect Template:Ill (1923–2003) in 1965, with contributions from Belgian inventor John Myer and typography design by Massimo Vignelli.[1] The Cifra 3 is widely considered a masterpiece of industrial design, using a split-flap display to display hours and minutes. The Cifra 3 was included in the 2004 "Humble Masterpieces" exhibition at the Museum of Modern Art in New York, and is in the museum's permanent collection.[2] Many other museums include the clock in their collections, including the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York, the Science Museum in London and the Israel Museum in Jerusalem.[3][4]

Gino Valle's relationship with the Solari company began in 1954 with the design of the Cifra 5 electromechanical digit-snap clock (patented in 1957), consisting of 4 vertical pallets of 10 numbers each making up all the hours.[5] The Cifra 5 clock was the progenitor of a full-fledged family of industrial-type clocks, awarded the Compasso d'Oro in 1956.[6][5][1] With the help of Belgian inventor John Meyer, a roll of 48 pallets was achieved, leading to the creation of the smallest direct-reading clock, the iconic Cifra 3.[7]
