For ChristmasI just treated myself to a George Nelson ball clock for the office (the version with the multi-coloured balls, if you know what I am talking about).
I noticed that Vitra who produce these have free downloads of 3D models of many/most/all of their design classics in a variety of formats.
As a tryout I downloaded the ball clock in a few formats and pulled the .dae version into a Lumion kitchen scene. It's the plain wooden ball version but for free this seems excellent (I have in the past attempted to model one of these clocks from scratch![]()
)
Here is the website if anyone else might find these models useful for entourage:

On looking through all the files and products I see that much of it is office furniture, but still useful.
I could not resist the Eames elephant - originally in plywood Vitra now sell a plastic version.
(That's enough playing around.. 'Christmas is an event, not a process!' as one of my old bosses used to say)

FWIW the actual clock modelled in the OP arrived from Vitra in Switzerland in time for Christmas - a new office clock for 2021 (designed in 1949 ?)

I am a bit of a clock fan, so that's pretty cool. As I was getting my 2nd bedroom cleaned out to make it an "office", I thought I might need to relocate a clock ... but now I realize I can see the time on all three screens, so I guess I don't really need to. But if I find a cool one, I just might anyway.![]()
I really want a NICE 24 hour clock (where noon looks like 6). But all of the ones i find look... medicinal.

I thought about making one, but who has free time these days?
I've always fancied one of these clocks after seeing one in an interior designer's studio years ago, but they are very expensive:
