Nixie Tube Clock is an intriguing connection of modern electronics with old school vacuum tubes.
Nixie tubes are no longer produced, neon gas displays from Cold War Era.
Warm, orange glow of nixie tubes makes this clock a special and unique timepiece.
Clock’s case is made of CNC cut solid carbon fiber sheet and acrylic enclosure.
Tubes come from new old stock (NOS), which guarantees their long life expectancy.
