The Tripod Clock was designed by George Nelson in the 1950’s. The clock is made out of a high quality range of materials such as brass and acrylic glass with a near-silent quartz clock movement. Characterful tripod legs make the piece an almost human sculptural shape, creating a playful aesthetic. The solid brass construction makes this clock both sturdy and durable. High quality finishing throughout combines to create an eye-catching piece for any environment.

In 1947, the American designer George Nelson was commissioned to create a collection of clocks. Nelson analysed how people used clocks and concluded that they read the time by discerning the relative position of the hands, which made the use of numbers unnecessary.

These ideas provided the basis for the first collection of 14 timepieces, consisting of a completely new style of wall clocks and compact table clocks, which were launched on the market in 1949. Although the models all shared one common feature – the absence of numbers – the diversity of their shapes, colours, materials and designs could hardly have been greater.
