Embodying the energetic joie de vivre of post-war America, the Ball clock employed an innovative ball and stick design that reminded some people of scientific models used to illustrate atomic structure. Made of wood and metal, today's Ball clock mirrors the original design so beloved of collectors right down to the smallest detail, including a finish and color true to Nelson's original conception. One of the founding fathers of American Mid-century modernism, George Nelson created a remarkable collection of now iconic designs and unconventional interpretations of such everyday items as lamps and wall clocks for Herman Miller, including, most famously, the Nelson Ball clock. A refreshing alternative to traditional timekeepers, the striking atomic design of the Ball clock has come to typify the exuberant, optimistic and sunny spirit of 1950s America, and still looks fresh and exciting today. Made from metal and beech wood with acrylic lacquer. High-quality quartz clockwork. Includes 15 volt batteries.
