The Diamond Clock is designed by George Nelson as a part of his clock collection. This clock is crafted from solid walnut and brass. It features an attractive sculpture shape with a beautifully designed dotted hour mark and brass hands which makes the diamond clock stand out. Slim brass skewers that hold diamond solid walnut helps to make the clock’s silhouette more elegant.
In 1947, the American designer George Nelson was commissioned to create a collection of clocks. Nelson analysed how people used clocks and concluded that they read the time by discerning the relative position of the hands, which made the use of numbers unnecessary.
These ideas provided the basis for the first collection of 14 timepieces, consisting of a completely new style of wall clocks and compact table clocks, which were launched on the market in 1949. Although the models all shared one common feature – the absence of numbers – the diversity of their shapes, colours, materials and designs could hardly have been greater.
