Arne Jacobsen City Hall Table Clock with Alarm

Arne Jacobsen City Hall Table Clock with Alarm

Arne Jacobsen designed a house for H.J. Hansen, who was director of electronic manufacturer Lauritz Knudsen. Hansen was so excited about Arne Jacobsen, that he encouraged him to design a clock back in 1930’s. The clock was presented at the Spring Exhibition Charlottenborg in 1939 and was Jacobsen’s first industrial product design.

The alarm table clock has since been updated with snooze function and light, triggered by an invisible sensor on top of the clock. 

The City Hall Clock was designed in 1956.
