Size is the first choice with these clocks. The nine designs run from a 15 cm table clock to a 76.5 cm wall clock, and two of them stand on a surface rather than hang. Find the size that suits your wall or surface, then choose the shape.

For a desk, shelf or bedside table. The Night and Pill clocks are the two freestanding designs, both about 15 cm wide. The Pill is a desk clock on a stainless steel base, made to stand on one of our modern desks. The Night is a small brass table clock for a shelf or one of our side tables.
For a smaller wall. Four clocks are 25.5 to 34 cm across and weigh 1.5 kg or less: the Asterisk, the Blue Block, the Steering Wheel and the Ball.
For a wall that needs one large piece. The Kite, the Spindle and the Sunflower are 55 to 76.5 cm wide. The Sunflower is the largest clock in the collection, a walnut design 76.5 cm across.
A single AA battery, not included, according to eight of the nine specifications. The Sunflower's specification adds that it uses a quartz movement. The Spindle's specification does not list its power source, so check its product page, or ask customer support, if you need to know before you order.
Two designs come in more than one finish. The Ball clock comes in multicolour or red, and the Sunflower in black, maple or walnut. The others come in one finish each: brass for the Night, walnut for the Pill and the Spindle, blue for the Blue Block, black for the Asterisk and the Steering Wheel, and multicolour for the Kite.
Spot clean them, as most of the specifications advise. Dust the Ball clock's wooden spheres with a soft, dry cloth, and wipe metal faces with a dry cloth, avoiding abrasive products. Keep moisture away from the Pill's mechanism, keep the Blue Block out of direct sunlight, and use no polish or chemicals on the Spindle, as their product pages advise.
All nine are based on designs from the studio of George Nelson, whose work you can see in our George Nelson collection. Not every clock was drawn by Nelson himself: the Spindle clock was designed by Lucia DeRespinis while she worked in his studio. Each product page carries the design's own description and attribution.
No. These clocks are not manufactured by or affiliated with the original designers or associated parties, and we claim no rights in any third-party trademarks. Lead times and warranty terms are shown on each product page, and some pieces are held in stock for faster dispatch.
