The Ceramic Clock, model #2 designed by George Nelson in 1953, is a delightful example of American modernism, as well as unquestionable taste and vision. Playful & sculptural at the same time. Equipped with high-quality quartz movement, it offers a fully refreshing alternative to conventional clocks without sacrificing simplicity.

Seeing things around through the prism of time can bring a lot of positive advantages. On the basis of drawings and projects found in the George Nelson Archive, Vitra has relaunched the designs and so made the clock available for the first time. Combining geometric shapes in a way that honors the imagination, while evoking associations with three-dimensional works by artists like Constantin Brancusi or Isamu Noguchi, made Nelson’s clock an object of desire. Not for a moment, but for ages.
