Description
Six IN-14 Nixie tubes in a clear acrylic case. Nothing is hidden: you see the whole board, the sockets and every pin at the foot of the tubes. A blue LED lights the acrylic from below, so the warm orange digits sit over a cool blue glow. Hours, minutes and seconds, so there is always a digit changing.
The tubes
New old stock from Soviet factories, never used. They stopped being made decades ago, and every year there are fewer of them. Each one is tested before it goes into a clock. They sit in sockets, so a tube can be changed by hand, with no soldering.
Living with it
The two seconds tubes change with a slot-machine roll or a smooth fade, whichever you choose. A temperature display, a blue backlight that switches off, an alarm, 12 or 24-hour time, and a backup battery that keeps the time through a power cut. Between 01:00 and 04:00 the clock runs through every digit so the tubes wear evenly, and the backlight rests from 22:00 to 07:00.
As a gift
It arrives ready to use, packed box inside a box, with the plug for the recipient's country.
Built by hand in Ukraine and covered for twelve months: if a tube fails inside that year, the replacement is free.
