IN-14 nixie tube clock in a rounded walnut case — photograph 3

Kyiv · since 2017 · 760 five-star reviews

Tubes that stopped being made in the 1980s

Soviet glass, never used, set in solid walnut and ash. Made in Kyiv and shipped free to the United States and Europe.

Sixty-year-old glass, in new wood

Four or six cold-cathode tubes made in the Soviet Union before the 1980s ran out, tested one at a time, and set into a case machined from solid walnut or ash and oiled by hand in Kyiv. Nothing about the light is simulated: it is gas glowing behind glass, the way it was in 1975.

Three tubes, three clocks

They differ by the tube inside and the wood around it.

The one part that wears out

Tubes are the part that eventually goes. Ours sit in sockets rather than solder, so you change one yourself in about a minute — no tools and no technician. Every four-tube clock ships with a spare already in the box, and every clock is covered for twelve months: if a tube fails inside that year, the replacement is free.

Why this one

Built to a tolerance

An automated line places and reflows every SMT part and the housings are machined on CNC, so the hundredth clock is the same as the first.

It notices you

A motion sensor inside the case puts the tubes out when the room is empty. Less wear on glass that cannot be replaced from a factory, less power.
