Part of Vitra's extensive range of Nelson clocks, the Ceramic Clock is immediately reminiscent of the classic design of the mid-century.

An icon of classic design, the Model 1 clock is finished in a light grey/blue glazed porcelain finish, with a tapered stem that tapers into the dial.

Minimalist and full of character, the Model 1 is sculptural and elegant, serving as the perfect celebration of one of the most beloved designers of the 21st century.

Material & finishes:
glazed porcelain; hands made of sheet steel. High-quality quartz movement, including 1.5 volt battery.

The designer:

George Nelson studied architecture at the renowned Yale University and completed his studies at the American Academy in Rome. From 1935 to 1944 he was editor-in-chief of the 'Architectural Forum'.

After establishing his own architecture and industrial design firm in 1946, he began collaborating with Vitra in 1957. His pieces, such as the Coconut chair, his clocks, and the Marshmallow Sofa, are highly regarded among 20th-century design classics.
