Any thoughts on the pros/cons of these two makes of the nelson clock. Is the vitra reedition as high quality (or better) than the Howard Miller original etc...

Split opinions for me. I...
Split opinions for me. I prefer the Miller clocks as I would always rather go for vintage, but they can be a little unreliable. The Vitras just work - hence I have a few of those. BTW I'm in the UK, so the electric clocks are a problem here hence Vitra again.

Look
I like my new ones simply because I'm not afraid of irreparably damaging them - i.e. they are not as precious as the vintage ones. I'm speaking about look only - I've never compared a vintage with a new one side by side for quality.

Just got this one
it's a vintage wind clock #2258, but I don't have the key for it....and my Umanoff 'casket' clock's key doesn't fit this.
Bizarre clock, tho...the petals are a vinyl.
The pix is a battery version with a second hand; my clock is in not quite good condition and since it's a wind clock, has no second hand.

Is this a Nelson design?
They don't say, but does it look like it?
It's priced like it.

Probably was designed by Nelson Associates
the hands are Nelson's.
whether or not it's Nelson, it's clearly a more expensive Howard Miller clock....so the price is high but not insane.
