Time, But Make It Art

When it comes to mid-century design, few pieces are as instantly recognizable—or as playful—as the Ball Clock. Originally dreamed up in 1949 by George Nelson and his team, it wasn’t just about telling time. It was about making a statement.

Fast-forward to today, and this iconic design still feels fresh. We’ve worked with expert manufacturers to bring it back in all its glory: vibrant wooden spheres, sleek metal spokes, and a perfect balance of function and flair. It’s not just a clock—it’s the ultimate throwback that looks right at home in the modern world.

The slim, powder-coated rods extend gracefully from the center, offering a sleek contrast to the warmth of the wooden spheres. Functional, sturdy, and effortlessly modern.

Quartz Movement Mechanism
This isn’t just about looks—it’s powered by a dependable quartz movement for precise timekeeping. Battery-operated, so you’ll always be on time (or at least your clock will).
