SHUT UP DONNIE!

I think that clock
I think that clock will really tie the room together.

Just don't let anyone...
Pee on it.

believe it or not it is ...
believe it or not it is really a cool clock and i have it in my collection. It was the first clock Umanoff designed for Howard miller..
so if you want to pee on it go ahead. with all the eames buckets,lounge chairs lwc,
womb chair,swan,egg, and every design that came down the chain.

hmm
What i don't really like about these early clocks and even some of Nelson
ones is the flippant design. Fun and random using found numerals etc.
The numerals are cheap plastic stick-ons like the ones from hardware stores
for post boxes. Odd that they seem to be collectable.
Not for me but interesting.

yep i do not understand ...
yep i do not understand the cheap roman numerals either
they do make the clock so much cheaper but i guess they did not want to use paper but they do turn around and a lot of people do the wood site out very similar to a ball clock.

Is this, or is this not a Nelson Associates clock?
wtf do you think ??? honestly.
you post an abomination of the ball clock and then are taken aback when people react in horror and say its ugly.
anyone with any design literacy and knowledge of hm clocks and nelson can see that this was cobbled together post nelson era. but really, even it was churned out by the nelson mill, its still a derivative abomination.
oh, i see... its on ebay so, despite the fact is is fugly and wrong.... you want to know if it was nelson to see if it was worth anything.
anything for a buck, right ?
that type of thinking got this clock made in the first place. its was wrong-headed then and its wrong-headed now.

"Thanks in advance for your opinions..... "
perhaps this invitation encouraged folks to post speaking of its ugliness

Don't mean to pile on here...
But we had already discussed this clock in one of the "More about Nelson clocks" last fall. There we discussed how the design was an abomination and NOT Nelson. Page 3 of the 1968-1969 Howard Miller catalog confirms that this was "designed" by Umanoff, though I agree with Chewy (in slightly less inflamamatory terms) that it is nothing more than a derivative ripoff.

I would like to see this clock in purple what do you think?
I would love to see this clock redone in a purple what do you think?

Hmm, I would like to see...
All the even numbers photoshopped out.

folks it is just a clock ...
folks it is just a clock some of you need to take a chill pill.
