Sunburst Wall Clocks

Larger than life, beautifully over the top, big bold and extremely beautiful, retro or old-fashioned wall clocks have the ability to dramatically enhance the look of any room. They can effortlessly evoked and install the classic elegance of the mid-20th-century in one fell swoop.

And one of the most effective types of timepiece for recreating and invoking this much sought after retro aura is the oversized wall clock.

One name is synonymous with this style, George Nelson.

George Nelson was undoubtedly one of the most influential designers from the mid-20th-century.  He designed well over 150 different clocks for the highly prestigious Herman Miller Company.

His style and designs are literally timeless, not only are they retro classics, but they are enduring favourites that are as admired today as ever, one of his most popular and much copied designs, is the sunburst wall clock.

Sunburst wall clocks:

The contemporary clean and stylish lines of mid-20th century require simple but dramatic accent, George Nelson’s amazing and beautiful sunburst clocks provide this and more.

These clocks were manufactured from a diverse range of materials, brass, steel, and wood finished in a variety of colours.

Nelson’s sunburst clocks were larger than life works of art; they filled the wall space with ease and made definite art statements.

Classically sunburst clocks will feature oversized hands of a basic simple face, from this face. Sun rays appear to emerge, in my eyes one of the most beautiful clock designs ever.
