The Ball Clock is a playful and iconic timepiece from George Nelson’s celebrated collection of mid-century clocks. Designed during the rise of American Modernism in the 1950s, this colourful wall clock transforms a functional object into a sculptural work of art.
Twelve wooden balls—each painted in a vibrant tone—radiate from the centre dial, representing the twelve hours of the day. The result is a joyful burst of colour and form that brightens up any wall, whether in the kitchen, hallway, or creative space.
This high-quality replica brings Nelson’s timeless design into the modern home — a stylish alternative to ordinary clocks, and a lasting symbol of design history.
