Vitra - Fan Clock Cherry

Vitra Fan Clock

Design: George Nelson

The Vitra's Fan wall clock attracts attention with its three-dimensional shapes and playful hands in white. The high-quality quartz-driven movement and carefully designed details make the clock both a reliable timepiece and a beautiful decorative item.

Between 1948 and 1960, George Nelson's office designed more than 150 clocks for American clock manufacturer Howard Miller. The collection consists of wall clocks and table clocks characterized by imaginative shapes, modern spirit and the absence of numbers. Nelson's mission was to bring more modern design to ordinary American homes, and he succeeded brilliantly - today, the clocks are treasured as international design classics and masterpieces of mid-century American design.
