George Nelson Mid Century Ball Clock in Brass and Wood
Located in Weesp, NL
Interestingly, while nearly all of the designs that came out of George’s studio were attributed to him, many were actually designed by him and his team. Some were even designed solely by someone else working at the studio.
Nelson famously recounted the story of how the Ball Clock came to life in an interview decades after it’s release:
“It was one of the really funny evenings. Noguchi came by, Bucky Fuller came by, and here was Irving, and here was I, and Noguchi - who can’t keep his hands off anything - he saw we were working on clocks and started making doodles. Then Bucky sort of brushed Isamu aside. He said, ‘This is a good way to do a clock’ and made some utterly absurd thing. Everybody was taking a crack at this, pushing each other aside and making scribbles. At some point we left – we were suddenly all tired, and we’d had a little bit too much to drink – and the next morning I came back, and here was this roll of 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.”
Nevertheless, whoever it was that came up with George Nelson’s designs, it’s almost certain that they would never have come to fruition if it wasn’t for George’s vision and forward-thinking approach.
Can you tell me more about his clocks?
George’s clocks were one of his most impressive bodies of work. In total, he and his team designed over 130 clocks in just three decades.
While it is widely accepted that Irving Harper was the lead designer for the Howard Miller Clock Company at George Nelson Associates, the collection arose after two insightful observations from George: one, that people no longer used the numbers to tell the time; and two, that since most people now used their wristwatch to tell the time, interior clocks were now free to become more decorative in nature.
The clocks were designed and released in batches of 8 and were initially only given numbers for names. The Sunflower Clock was simply ‘Clock 2261’, the Flock of Butterflies Clock was 'Clock 2226’, and so on.
The Ball was the first clock designed by George and his team and it was followed shortly after by the Star, Sunburst, Spindle, Asterisk, Turbine, Flock of Butterflies, Eye and others. The clocks were purposefully abstract and were designed to complement the modernist furniture emerging at the time.
As well as wall clocks, George’s studio also produced a series of desk clocks during that time, most notably the bubble-shaped Night Desk...

Large Reclaimed Railway Platform Clock by Synchronome
By Synchronome
Located in Nottingham, GB
Introducing the Beautiful Original Railway Clock by Synchronome - a vintage masterpiece that embodies the best of British clock-making. Crafted in England circa 1920 by The Synchronome Company Ltd, this clock exemplifies the brand's dedication to producing the most accurate electric clocks of the early to mid-20th century.
Featuring a rear movement cover stamped 'CLACTON ON SEA STATION CONCOURSE,' this clock exudes a sense of history and character that will transport you to a different era. The one-piece green enamelled stepped steel case and aged white enamelled dial with evidence of some paint repairs over the years add to its unique charm.
The dial indices are complete in Roman numerals, and the large Syncronome Electric makers mark takes centre stage. The trademark spade hands found on most Synchronome Clocks add a touch of elegance and sophistication.
This clock retains its original slave movement, which includes a modern impulse driver to run the clock. This provides a satisfying click every 30 seconds, moving the minute hand each impulse, and can be either battery or mains operated. You can also contact us if you require other movement options.
Standing at an impressive size, this clock will be a focal point of any interior, as seen in the images with a 6ft 1" figure representing scale. Whether you are looking for a striking piece for your home or a unique addition to your vintage clock collection...
