George Nelson Ball Clock

The Ball Clock is widely considered to be one of George Nelson's most beloved design creations. He is the recognized pioneer of modern clock designs. Nelson created over 150 iconic clocks during his career. The nelson ball clock is a centered, sophisticated take on the original whimsical design.

Modernist Icon Of Time

The solid colored wood series Ball Clock is a sophisticated take on the original multi colored whimsical design. The calm feeling of natural wood is combined with the pop art style creating an interesting juxtaposition of funky pop art and elegant design. George Nelson, the original designer was not a man too proud to own up to drunken drawing. Speaking of a night of partying and doodling with his architect friends, he admitted that he probably wasn’t truly the designer of the Ball clock with which he is credited. “…we’d had a little bit too much to drink

  • and the next morning I came back, and here was this roll (of drafting paper), and Irving and I looked at it, and somewhere in this roll there was a ball clock. I don’t know to this day who cooked it up.”

Probably the most recognizable clock of the George Nelson design collection, the Ball is a definitive icon of its time. It is best described as atomic retro wall art, and makes a clever space impression, particularly if other modern classics occupy the room.  No designer was able to evoke the retro aura of designer wall clocks like George. In fairness, he had a bit of practice. He created over 150 designs for the Howard Miller company during the mid century years. We all have a need to know the time, but it does not mean timekeeping has to be boring. Why not do it in mid century classic George Nelson style?
