Gilbert Rohde’s Z clock, with its floating glass face mounted on a diagonal chrome bar, captured elegance through economy and transparency. In his use of the zigzag tubular chrome support, Rohde was informed by tubular metal furniture made by Marcel Breuer and his German contemporaries, designs he encountered in his travels in Europe in 1927.
