George Nelson Eye Clock

I'm usually pretty positive and like most of what I post on here, but I also get creeped out fairly easily and can honestly say this George Nelson Eye Clock design is not for me. I just don't need a large mechanical eye staring down at me while I'm trying to work, or relax and watch TV, or whatever. But designed in 1957 and reissued by Vitra, it's amazingly timeless (tacky pun intended!) in its appeal. Even if I'm not crazy about it I can appreciate the unique design and the fact that it really doesn't look like it was originally born 50 years ago. £196

I have do disagree with you on this Rigel, I think this design is fantastic and I wouldn't mind having this in my office or home.
Thanks for the post and the info!

Oh I don't know, I think I like it. You're right, to have that huge eye peering down at you while you're trying to relax.... What about in an office situation! HA! That would be kind of funny.
Ahem.. excuse me for being silly. I have a thing for clocks and watches and I do like this. The design is so fresh and timeless, as you say, even though it's from the 50's.
