Since he began his studio in 1904, Georg Jensen was all about wearable art and functionality. His silver jewellery was affordable and popular.
There have been over 100 designers over the years under the GJ hallmark and all have added to that reputation and incredible breadth of designs. This clock fits right into the Georg Jensen philosophy. It not only tells the time, but tells a story as well.
In 1955, Andreas Mikkelsen started working as a salesman for Georg Jensen and in 1963 he was promoted to sales manager. He quickly progressed at the silversmithy and in 1970 established his own design company where he designed his own jewellery for eight years before returning to Georg Jensen in 1978. When Georg Jensen merged with Holmegaard Glassworks in 1983, Mikkelsen became the company's artistic director. This clock was among his first designs in that role.

UGH! Way too many superlatives! This description was crafted in 5 seconds flat by the new eBay AI ... not bad, but I hope it didn't cause diabetic shock! It is a great clock for 30-40 years old and not easy to find.
