The Vitra Night Clock is designed by George Nelson. The Night Clock is crafted from brass or steel with a hemisphere acrylic glass. The iconic combination of the bulbous glass paired with the cylindrical brass case creates a unique silhouette for the clock. It is equipped with high-quality quartz movement and is the perfect alternative to the typically uninteresting desktop timepieces.

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.
