In line with all of Arne Jacobsen’s designs, BANKERS is minimalistic and elegant. The design is created with great attention and symbolism.
Every hour marker is replaced by a spiral, consisting of 12 units, each indicating the day’s hours.
Hence the nickname: The Spiral Watch.
Another distinctive feature of the BANKERS watch is the red dot in the middle.
THE DANISH NATIONAL BANK
In 1961, Arne Jacobsen won the competition to design the new National Bank of Denmark. The building was completed in 1978 - 7 years after his death. The BANKERS clock was designed in 1971 and is proudly displayed on the original bank hall wall. The bank hall contains peartree panels, contra- sting the entry hall in Norwegian marble, stretching like a cathedral almost 20 meters up throughout the six stories. The Danish National Bank is widely considered one of Arne Jacobsen’s architectural masterpieces.
PORSGRUNN GREY
The dial is inspired by the Norwegian Porsgrunn marble, one of Arne Jacobsen’s favorite materials. The dial is made with a circular fine-brushed finish, which gives the watch a slightly changing gray color, just like the Porsgrunn marble that fluctuates in several gray colors. The design stays true to Arne Jacobsen’s original clock design from 1971. The watch is available in two versions; a 40mm polished steel model and a 34mm polished gold model for smaller wrists.

The genius that made Danish design world known. Arne Jacobsen is undoubtedly one of Denmark's most prominent architects and is internationally recognized for his marvelous buildings and design - also including his clocks and watches.

Roman
1942 wurde die Stadthalle von Aarhus in Dänemark vollendet. Arne Jacobsen designte das Gebäude zusammen mit Erik Møller anfangs noch ohne Turm. Ein Turm hat dort keine Funktionalität und vorallem passte er nicht in die Design Philosophie von Arne Jacobsen. Aber nach ein paar Protesten sahen die beiden Architekten keine andere Möglichkeit, als einen 60 Meter hohen Turm hinzuzufügen.
Glücklicherweise, haben wir wegen genau diesem Turm heute die wunderschöne Uhr ROMAN.
Station
Mitte der 30er Jahre, designedte der junge Arne Jacobsen ein Haus für H.J Hansen, dem damaligen Geschäftsführer von Lauritz Knudsen (eine große bekannte Firma in der Elektronikindustrie). Der Manager erkannte das Talent in Arne Jacobsen und bat ihm eine Uhr für sein neues Heim zu designen.
Arne Jacobsen akkzeptierte die Herrausforderung und malte einen Wecker, sein erstes industrielles Produkt-Design. Der Wecker wurde 1939 bei der Spring Fair in Charlottenborg, Copenhagen ausgestellt und ist das erste Produktdesign von Arne Jacobsen. Anfangs seiner Karriere waren die Leichtigkeit und seine designvollen Linien die Charakteristika von Arne Jacobsen.
City hall
Die Rødovre Stadthalle in Dänemark ist eins von Arne Jacobsens vollkommensten Designs, inspiriert von den internationalen Tendenzen der Zeit. Arne Jacobsen designete jeden Aspekt der Stadthalle, bis hin zu den Uhren an der Wand und den Möbeln nach seinen Vorstellungen.
Die CITY HALL Uhr zeigt Arne Jacobsen´s unnachgiebiege Herangehensweise bei seinen Designs und der Architektur.Mit ihrem kurvigen Glas und den präzisen Zeichnungen, ein Werk zeitloser Leichtigkeit und Eleganz.
