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.
