We’ve seen the beautiful work of Dalibor Farny before in HackSpace magazine, and it’s always a treat when he comes out with something new. This is the latest product from his medieval castle workshop: a six-digit, 3.2 kg, brand-new Nixie clock.
Unlike the old-stock Nixies that you may find on auction sites acquired from former Soviet warehouses, these Nixies come with a ten-year warranty. Also, unlike anything else we’ve seen using this technology, the clock comes with a phone app that enables you to set the time zone, time format, specify whether you want daylight-saving time, and more. And of course, it looks so, so nice.
