George Nelson | 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, which made the use of numbers unnecessary.

Vitra George Nelson Ball Clock Cherry 1948 – Speranza Design Gallery
Time for an icon. George Nelson and his associates designed many celebrated clocks in the 50s and 60s, but the 1949 Ball Clock is arguably the most iconic. Not only timeless in appeal, the Ball Clock keeps time with internal high-quality quartz clockwork. The clever design craved by both mid-century purists and dabblers in modern design features wood balls, likely influenced by the atomic discussions prevalent in that time.
