With the diversity of materials used and their sculptural shapes, George Nelsons clocks embody the 'joie de vivre' prevalent in the 1950's. To this day, his wall and desk clocks remain a refreshing alternative to the usual timekeepers. The Vitra Design Museum is presenting a re-edition of the iconic designs so cherished by collectors. Finish and color are true to Nelson's original designs, and employ acrylic-lacquered wood and metal construction. The Night Clock features a brass case, dome face and high-grade battery powered quartz movement with easy latch access in the back.
