The charmingly playful, yet simple Vitra Wheel Clock features 12 bars of walnut, which serve as a guide when reading the time, and is supplied with a modern quartz movement including battery.

Design Story

The American designer George Nelson developed in the late 1940s and early 1950s a collection of wall clocks, of which the Vitra Wheel Clock is a particularly charming representative. Nelson's aim with the clocks was to bring modern design into American homes, and to do that in a way which reflected the spirit of optimism of the post-war years. The charmingly playful Vitra Wheel Clock features 12 long spindle-shaped rods crafted from walnut and which are arranged like rays around the central aluminium dial. As with all Vitra Nelson clocks the Wheel Clock presents a pleasant and original alternative to the usual range of wall clocks and is supplied with a high quality quartz movement, including a 1.5 volt battery.
