What is a sunburst clock?
1 Answer
A sunburst clock is a wall clock that features a round face surrounded by spokes of wood or metal. This design resembles a shining sun. George Nelson Associates gets credit for designing the first one for the Howard Miller Clock Company in 1950, but many other creators have introduced their own versions over the years.
