Arne Jacobsen Bankers Table Clock, Ø: 4.3"

Alarm, snooze and a light sensor, behind the dial Jacobsen drew for Denmark's national bank.

The Bankers face was his last clock design, made around 1970 for Danmarks Nationalbank, with a fine spiral tracing the progression of time around the dial. Set on the 1939 table-clock body — bent steel legs, Bauhaus industrial — it becomes a bedside object rather than an architectural one. Three finishes. Browse the full Arne Jacobsen Clocks range.

Common Questions

What is the spiral on the dial?
A fine line winding around the face to mark the progression of the minutes — the detail that distinguishes the Bankers dial from Jacobsen's plainer Station and City Hall faces.

Does it need to be plugged in?
No. It is a battery-powered bedside clock with alarm and snooze; the backlight runs from the same power and is triggered by a sensor on the top of the case.

Is this the same body as the other table clocks?
Yes. All the Jacobsen table clocks share the 1939 LK body — 4.7 in tall, PMMA lens, metal base — and differ only in dial and finish.
