The clocks created by George Nelson, with their variety of materials and sculptural shapes, capture the aesthetics of the 1950s. These watches are not just instruments for measuring time, but true style statements, offering a sophisticated alternative to traditional timepieces. Nelson carefully studied the way people read the time, noting that they do so through the position of the hands, making numbers superfluous. With the advent of wristwatches, Nelson realized that wall clocks would become primarily decorative elements, an idea that is perfectly reflected in the design of the Ball Clock.
