George Nelson served as creative director at the furniture company Herman Miller from 1946 to 1966. At the same time, he designed table and wall clocks for the subsidiary Howard Miller Clock Company that captured the spirit of the 1950s and 1960s.

1957 was a particularly productive year for the designer. During this period, he created over 20 wall clocks in a wide variety of colors and materials. One of the models from this creative period is the Spindle Clock . The body of this distinctive timepiece is made of matte brass. The hands stand out in various colors and shapes. A triangular hour hand in subtle white, paired with second and minute hands in a bold orange, ensures excellent readability.
The unique hour markers are crafted from walnut wood and exude a pleasantly warm atmosphere. Vitra ’s watches by Georg Nelson come equipped with a high-quality quartz movement.
