Nelson eye clock 1  

Meridian clocks were made in
collaboration with Bitossi Studios. The hands were designed by the Nelson Office (in all likelihood Irving Harper), but the ceramic bodies were designed by the Bitossi Studio designers.
A perfect example of this is probably Bitossi's most famous designer Aldo Londi:

And probably the best example of the Bitossi-Nelson relationship....
...is this Bitossi side table, which is utilizes the same ceramic disk as the blue Meridian clock above:

Wow, gee, and wholly molley
Amazing table!
I too collect Bitossi blue - got 12 pieces so far, mostly vases and bowls, plus a lighter and cigarette case.
I want more....been lusting after the bird on long legs and the round face piece.
Just got a large Owl.

Making copies of clock hands can't be hard. Easiest DIY route would be a sheet of aluminum or steel from a local home improvement store. Trace the shape, use Sheet metal scissors to cut out slightly outside tracing. Sand smooth edges. Give a couple coats of flat black enamel spray paint (or whatever color). Actual job shouldn't take more than an hour with the paint adding another intermittent 1/2 hour.
Tricky part is getting the right size hole drilled. Too big, and it won't move. Better small.

Vitra parts
This is on/off the subject, but if anyone needs parts for Vitra clocks they can easily ordered . I needed a long winder for my Nelson Tri-Pod table clock, I called the San Francisco Vitra and paid over the phone(only $10 shipped and about 2 weeks), they even sent me a schematic of parts via email beforehand to confirm the part I needed. I was surprised how on top of things they were and with such a small part to order. Way cheaper than I expected too.

James...that's good to know
That means that even if you buy a knockoff, you can probably get parts from Vitra.

vitra can be helpful i bought some plastic feet for my old panton cone chair and they got right on it,
I think i can make the hands as i have made a set of the nelson hands before buttttttttttttt the holes in the hands screwed me up after all the great work .
