Roman clock | Arne Jacobsen Clocks | Skandium London

Description

After several years in exile in the hands of manufacturers abroad, a true design classic by Arne Jacobsen, the master architect, is now returning to Denmark. Rosendahl has acquired the rights to recreate and manufacture the Banker's Clock, which Arne Jacobsen originally created when designing the building for Danmarks Nationalbank in 1971.

At the same time, the City Hall and Roman clocks is also be returning as Rosendahl has also acquired the rights to these two models. Roman hails from 1942 and was designed for Aarhus City Hall, whereas City Hall is from 1956 and was designed for Rødovre City Hall.

It was Arne Jacobsen's custom to design the totality – everything from the building to its fixtures, fittings and furniture. Thus, together, the three clocks represent an interesting cross-section of modernism in design as expressed by Arne Jacobsen over a period of 30 years.
