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.

Bankers 1971
1961 bekam Arne Jacobsen die Ehre erwiesen, die neue National Bank Dänemarks zu designen. Das Gebäude wurde 1978 fertiggestellt - 7 Jahre nach seinem Tod. Die Bankers Uhr wurde 1971 designed und hängt stolz an der Wand der Bankhalle. Die Bankhalle wird geziechnet von Birnenbaumplatten und norwegischen Marmor welcher fast 20 Meter in die Höhe ragt, durch 6 Etagen.
Die dänische National Bank ist weitläufig betrachtet eins von Arne Jacobsen´s Meisterwerken.
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.
