Radio smow: A Clocks Playlist…….
...The sense, logic or otherwise of the biannual changing of the clocks is a subject that can keep any conversation animated until the next change occurs... And clocks to depict it...
With high-quality design classics and decorative home accessories from the Swiss furniture manufacturer Vitra one is always making a wise choice: Vitra can look back on 50 years of experience and success and has established a broad portfolio of first-class products in cooperation with well-known international designers. This also includes the Vitra clocks, in particular the famous table, children and wall clocks by the American mid-century designer George Nelson. Nelson's clock designs were created in 1948 for the Howard Miller Clock Company, which was a subsidiary of the furniture manufacturer Herman Miller. The Vitra timepieces impress with their aesthetic versatility and the ingenuity of the designer: George Nelson found a unique, original design solution for every Vitra clock. With a choice of more or less playful models in different sizes and in discreet to brightly coloured designs, the perfect Nelson clock can be found for every taste and situation.

...On the basis of drawings and other technical specifications found in the George Nelson Archive, Vitra have re-created the designs and so made the clocks available for the first time...
