One of the notable designs from this period is the Spindle Clock. The year 1957 was particularly productive for Nelson, when he created more than 20 wall clocks in various colors and materials. The Spindle Clock is one of these models. The watch case is made of mat brass, while the hands are in contrasting colors and different shapes. The small hour hand is triangular and white, while the large hour hand and second hand are in a distinctive orange color, which makes it easy to read the time.
