$535

Made by Vitra

Designed by George Nelson

The Ball Clock by George Nelson for Vitra is an emblematic mid‑century design that transforms the wall clock into a kinetic work of art. Twelve painted wooden balls float at the ends of radiating metal spokes, replacing traditional numerals in a playful reinterpretation of timekeeping. Whether rendered in vibrant multicolor or monochrome tones, the clock balances whimsy with precise quartz movement. This spirited piece brings joy and sculptural flair to any interior.
