'Sunburst' Wall Clock by George Nelson for Vitra.

 

In 1947, the American designer George Nelson was commissioned to create a collection of clocks. Nelson analysed how people used clocks and concluded that they read the time by discerning the relative position of the hands, making the use of numbers unnecessary. Since most people wore wristwatches, he assumed that clocks had become more of a decorative element for interiors.

 

These ideas provided the basis for the first collection of 14 timepieces, consisting of a completely new style of wall clocks and compact table clocks, which were launched on the market in 1949. Although the models all shared one common feature – the absence of numbers – the diversity of their shapes, colours, materials and designs could hardly have been greater.

 

Vitra began reissuing the Nelson Clocks in 1999 and continues to expand the collection with new pieces. Their authorized re-editions are crafted using only the finest quality materials.
