Product Information

Full details

The Vitra Sunburst Wall Clock, designed by George Nelson, is for individuals seeking to infuse their living spaces with mid-century modern elegance and artistic flair. Its key benefit is transforming any room into a visually dynamic and stylish environment with an iconic piece of design history. A potential caveat is its numeral-less design, which requires a slight adjustment in reading time at a glance. This clock is celebrated for its unique sunburst design, high-quality quartz movement, and its status as a collectible icon of 1950s design.

FAQs

What type of battery does the Sunburst Wall Clock use?

The clock uses one standard AA battery, which is not included with the purchase.

Does the clock have numbers on the face?

What are the dimensions of the clock?

The clock has a diameter of approximately 47 cm (Ø 47 cm).

Is the clock made of wood?

The product description mentions 'Vitra Clock Multicoloured Wood', suggesting wooden components, but specific material details for all parts are not provided. It is finished with a multicolour geometric pattern.

How should I clean the clock?

Dust regularly with a soft, dry cloth. For marks, use a slightly damp cloth and dry immediately. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners.

What is the warranty for the Vitra Sunburst Wall Clock?

Specific warranty information is not provided in the product description. Please refer to the retailer's policy or Vitra's official documentation for warranty details.

Troubleshooting

Clock is not ticking or hands are not moving.

Ensure a fresh AA battery is correctly installed. Check that the time-setting knob is pushed fully in. If issues persist, the quartz movement may need servicing or replacement.

Clock is running too fast or too slow.

Ensure the battery is fresh and correctly inserted. If the problem continues, the quartz movement may require adjustment or replacement.

Clock hands are touching or obstructing each other.

Gently adjust the hands by hand, ensuring they are parallel and have clearance. Be careful not to bend them excessively. If they are bent, they may need careful straightening.

Wall mounting feels insecure.

Use an appropriate wall anchor or screw for your wall type. Ensure the nail or screw is long enough to securely hold the clock's weight.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

  1. Battery Installation: Open the back cover of the clock movement and insert one AA battery (not included), ensuring correct polarity.
  2. Mounting: The clock requires a single nail or screw on the wall to hang. Ensure it is securely fastened to support the clock's weight.
  3. Setting Time: Gently pull the time-setting knob on the back of the movement outwards and turn it clockwise until the desired time is reached. Push the knob back in.

Compatibility:

  • Movement: Compatible with standard AA batteries.
  • Wall Surfaces: Suitable for mounting on drywall, plaster, or wood paneling.

Care:

  • Cleaning: Dust regularly with a soft, dry cloth. For stubborn marks, use a slightly damp cloth and wipe dry immediately. Avoid abrasive cleaners or solvents, as they can damage the finish.
  • Movement: The quartz movement is designed for longevity, but if performance degrades, the movement unit can typically be replaced by a local clock repair specialist.
