Pan Pacific Nixie Clock
A classic art moderne look. A retro technology from a different time. But with modern quartz crystal precision and digital circuitry.
This Nixie Clock is formed of solid walnut and maple, milled out to house the internal system. It took about six months from initial ideation to final completion, with hand-assembled circuitry from Britain, and “new old stock” Nixie tubes sourced from Ukraine.
It can complement any decor, and will be the conversation piece and attention grabber wherever it finds a home.
The clock displays date and time, and has multiple settings you can configure.
For a short video of the clock in action, check out this video; for a little background on the creation and a view of the circuit board, see this blog entry.
