George Nelson Turbine clock

We haven't featured anything by George Nelson for a while - reason enough to highlight this George Nelson Turbine clock, originally available back in 1957 and now back in production via Vitra.

The name is obviously no coincidence, with that 'turbine' look a real eye-catcher in brass. There's also an aluminium centre and some distinctly individual hands, with the clock powered by high-grade quartz workings.
