The Asterisk Clock belongs to a collection of clocks designed by George Nelson in the 1950s, which is now one of the icons of modern interior design. The entire collection of unmissable wall clocks responded to the state of American society at the time - the belief in progress and rising living standards were driving society and nothing seemed impossible. George Nelson's designs reflected the new modern concept of life.
