Vitra's Cone Clock by George Nelson is part of a collection of everyday objects designed to bring modern design into the homes of 1950's America.

A compelling alternative to a traditional clock, George Nelson's design reflected the age in which they were created. With growing economic prosperity at the heart of the era, the desk clocks exemplified the outlook of a generation who strove to be modern. The Cone Desk Clock has since become a mid-century icon.

The Vitra Cone Clock's distinctive design is equipped with high-quality quartz elements housed in a polyurethane body. Also available are the Tripod Clock, Night Clock and Diamond Clock. A 1.5-volt battery is included.
