Nelson eye clock 1  

I saw this on DWR they ...
I saw this on DWR they should change the name to designs out of reach but I don't think that is going to happen any time soon,
this is a arne Jacobsen bankers clock one of the last things he designed before he died in 1971
only problem i see with it is, that it cost 350 for a 11.5 inch clock it is a fully licensed reproduction
I would love to find a deal on this one, any one see one at their favorite mall store this christmas
On another note , I talked with the parts dept of Vitra they found a set of hands to go on my meridan clock, even thoe they had nothing to do with that clock. the hands are the ones that go on the the big sunflower clock but will work, and look just fine, They charged me 18 dollars for the set, and i bought a motor for 18 hobby lobby sells them for 6 but what the hell now it is from Vitra and made in Germany whoooooooo hoooooo, so if any of you nice folks need a set of Nelson Hands from Vitra call vitra at 800 336 9780
and talk to Patty miller she can help you with any of the Nelson clock parts, that vitra sells and of course the parts will all be interchangeable with any of there clocks or old relicts that you might want to change from electric to quartz,
They will still retain the value of a original if you want to change the source of power, just always save the original clock motor so if you ever want to sell it some fanatic will be able to have it, and not feel slighted,

Cool, LRF
I was thinking....Vitra could make a small fortune selling second hands for all of us who have older Nelson clocks missing the darn second hands!

Thats a nice clock
LRF...glad you shared it.
I'd buy one, but I just taked a guy down on price for a ball clock. Posted about it a while back...wind up. He's going to fix it. Very Pleased=) b-day/x-mas in one.

i just found this on...
i just found this on google it is a website from Holland and if they would send you a clock you could save at least 150 us dollars http://www.questodesign.com/shop/proddetail.php?prod=mobach_bankers&cat=77

Bankers clock
There is also a 19" version of the bankers clock that runs almost $700. I've always liked this clock, I saw the 12" version at San Francisco MOMA and it visually looked really small. MOMA clearanced both sizes really cheap about a year ago.

Another cool ceramic
Just came across this sold clock on eBay...

barry
i lost the bid on that one by a couple bucks, not willing to go all the way, but i thought it was cool clock i did not know the meridian used those hands
They have had a few good looking clocks on the Howard miller sight on ebay lately. I can not say that they went for big bucks just not willing to blow a lot with all things going on.
It is a shame that turbine clock from All world does not look like the vitra cause of the shiny metal as that is the only one i do not own from Vitra or the other manufacturer and the turbine sells for 555
while theirs sells for 85
They said they will get the star and block clock in in several months, so I will be ready for some more

Hi LRF,
You seem to know so much about these clocks any idea where I could get a nut that holds the fingers on, on a George Nelson grandfather clock? See picture attached. It's got white tack holding the hand on at the moment
I'm also looking for the new Howard Miller asterisk clock you talk about but can't find it. I did find the ball clock for $70 on ebay.
I live in the UK so would have to get them shipped over and pay the import duty as well. 
Just brought a Vitra eye clock it cost £234 in the UK, but it's a great looking clock and worth every penny!
Thanks
