Hand-crafted Nixie Tube Clocks & KitsMy name is Peter Jensen, and this site features the Nixie clocks I build for sale. Thank you for coming. The 1950s saw the advent of the Modern design aesthetic; clean lines, utilitarian forms, and the motto: "Less is More" (Mies van der Rohe). The Nixie tube made its debut in 1954, and provided some of the first digital displays for the latest scientific equipment of the time. Once utilized primarily in research and military equipment, Nixies are now prized for their modern aesthetic. I have designed these clocks to pay homage to the era which birthed the Nixie. These clocks will not play music, take your temperature or connect to the Internet. What they will do is display the time, beautifully and simply. These clocks feature new, old stock space-race era Russian Nixie tubes. The numbers glow soft orange in blown glass tubes. Setting the time is accomplished simply by pressing the two buttons hidden on the back, one for hours and one for minutes. Other details on all the clocks include a fading feature; when the time changes, the old time fades out and the new time will fade in. The warm glow of the Nixies is enhanced by the smooth transition of the digits, as time slowly passes. The Russian built tubes also feature a unique conversation starter: the number "5" is an upside down "2," reflecting an efficient and cost effective design philosophy from the cold war superpower. Both unexpected, effective, and thought provoking. Thank you again for visiting my site. Please feel free to email me at jensen @ tubeclock . com. Best
