Tripod Clock

$725

Made by Vitra

Designed by George Nelson

The Tripod Clock by George Nelson for Vitra embodies mid-century modern charm in a petite, sculptural form. Its round body rests atop a playful three‑legged base, combining polished brass with subtle acrylic detailing around the face for a timeless, elegant accent. The minimalist design intentionally omits numerals, inviting the user to intuitively read the time through the positions of the hands. This vibrant yet refined piece brings both personality and precision to any desktop or shelf.

Typically ships in 2-4 weeks.
