Nelson™ Star Clock

Designed by the legendary George Nelson in 1947, the Nelson™ Star Clock by Vitra is the epitome of mid-century elegance with a modern twist. Nelson was ahead of his time, realizing that the essence of a clock wasn’t in the numbers but in the graceful dance of its hands. With the rise of wristwatches, he saw clocks as more than mere timekeepers—they were prime candidates for artistic expression. Enter this clock design, which made its debut in 1949 as part of a revolutionary collection of fourteen distinct timepieces. This clock is nothing short of stellar. With its radiant, starburst arrangement of hour and minute hands, it transforms your wall into a captivating focal point. The absence of numbers only enhances its striking, modern look, proving that sometimes, simplicity shines the brightest.
