Notes from the Henry Ford Organization (an example of this clock belongs to the Henry Ford collection):
Henry Dreyfuss is remembered for his telephone designs for A.T. & T. This clock, though, is a seminal object in his career. Created at roughly the same time as his early telephones, it marks his maturing as a designer in terms of simple, approachable form. It foreshadows his later design for the ubiquitous Honeywell round thermostat of 1953. less
