There's another one of these on eBay right now, and based on my George Nelson catalog from Vitra, the 500 series is not included.

Is this, or is this not a Nelson Associates clock? It has the center and rods just like a ball clock, as well as those late 1940's clock hands clearly used on some of the earliest George Nelson clocks.

Thanks in advance for your opinions.....

Very clever
but the debate is not whether or not you think it's pretty; the debate is what is it and why is it?

Plus,
I would never use the word "pretty" when referring to design.

Thanks, Lloyd
useful information, as opposed to useless comments that do not advance the conversation.
Appreciate it.

Thanks alot
your observation really meant alot to me. Ha ha

Say, Lunchy and Dah Dah Dude: the fact that you both think its an ugly clock helped me to decide to bid on it!

You're being unnecessarily...
You're being unnecessarily abrasive Barry. There's no reason to try to humiliate people whose responses don't suite you. Pretty soon LRF is gonna be the only one on the internet who'll talk to you.

Real Ugly
==================
Is there any reaction to those replies that you would accept?
==================
I'll tell you what I'm going to do; use the same types of comments to those people who haven't anything contructive to contribute...other than calling something ugly.
Then we'll see how they like it.

Just remember,
no matter how ugly you think it is, think of all the other everyday off the shelf decorative and furniture pieces its trying not to be and then tell me how ugly it is. I'd rather have this clock than any piece of crap you can buy at most home furnishing stores.

hey guys every one is ...
hey guys every one is entitled to a opinion
If some one does not like something use a little tact
as someone else may love it, and it may hurt their feelings.
a little kindness never hurts even on this forum.

Thanks, LRF
kindness is something this forum often is lacking.

Thin Skin...
seems to be in abundant supply as well.
Perhaps you take this stuff a little TOO seriously.
Maybe try bowling...
