With the diversity of materials used and their sculptural shapes, George Nelson’s designer clocks embody the joie de vivre of the 1950s. To this day, his clocks remain a refreshing alternative to the usual style time-keepers. The Vitra Design Museum presents a re-edition of the designs so cherished by collectors – in a true-to-the-original form.

The Ball clock consists of wooden balls mounted on metal spokes with a central metal casing. It's available in 6 colours and in celebration of the centenary of the birth of its designer George Nelson, Vitra introduced a black version with a brass casing in 2008. A high quality, quiet movement drives the clock and it is supplied with a battery.
