'Sunburst' Wall Clock by George Nelson for Vitra.
In 1947, the American designer George Nelson was commissioned to create a collection of clocks. Nelson analyzed how people used clocks and concluded that they read the time by discerning the relative position of the hands, thus making the use of numbers unnecessary. Since most people wore wristwatches, he correctly assumed that clocks had become more of a decorative element for interiors. Vitra began reissuing the Nelson Clocks in 1999 and continues to expand the collection with new Nelson pieces. This authorized Vitra edition of the 'Spindle' is executed in walnut and aluminum to the same specifications of the original.
