Design: George Nelson, 1957
Concept: The Popsicle watch, designed by George Nelson in 1957, is a timeless and stylish watch. Its round dial consisting of thin walnut sticks and decorative hands make up the visual and functional center of the design. The inspiration for the watch comes from a simple ice lolly, hence the name from which the idea for the many thin walnut sticks came from. The Popsicle watch creates a certain calm and warmth in the room and together with the stylish design, it suits any decor. The watch is delivered incl. 1 piece. 1.5 volt battery.
The story behind: In the years 1948-1960, George Nelson and his staff designed more than 150 watches for the American watchmaker Howard Miller. The collection consists of a mixture of wall clocks and table clocks, with the common features that the shapes are played freely and that none of the clocks have numbers on the dial. By examining the modern approach to the use of clocks, Nelson came to the conclusion that one was no longer dependent on the numbers on the dial, but rather read the position of the hands. In addition, he argued that most people went with wristwatches, which is why the watch in the home had become a piece of design more than a functional object.
