MORE INFO...

The Atomic Ball Clock was designed by George Nelson in the 1950's. It's hard to resist the attractive clock with its instantly recognizable wire rods and multi-colored balls. The George Nelson Ball Clock is the most recognized wall clock in modern day history. This fabulous fifties-styled clock was designed more than half a century ago.

The popular story about the design history of George Nelson's Atomic Ball Clock was that it was designed by George Nelson, Irving Harper, Buckminster Fuller and Isamu Noguchi during a night of drinking in 1947. The clock is unmistakably inspired by the space-age atomic period of the late 1940's. It is perfect for your retro-styled modern home decor. This mid century modern wall clock is an icon of modern design. This clock is battery powered with 1 AA battery (included).

The highly decorative clock is perfect for any interior space including the home or the office. These modern wall clocks have an attractive sculptural shape and they are a refreshing alternative to the usual traditional timekeepers.

George Nelson is one of the founding fathers of American mid century modernism. His brilliant design can be found in numerous museum collections including the MoMA in New York.
