Bitossi was commissioned to produced ceramic clock faces by Raymor in the early-1960s. The large majority of the pottery faces were designed by Aldo Londi and the Bitossi production was then passed on to Howard Miller Clock Co. of Zeeland, Wisconsin, to be branded. At the time George Nelson was the director at Howard Miller and he designed the hands for the clocks. The clocks were them distributed by Raymor.
