TGT Studios Nixie Clock Series blends old-world technology with modern components and wraps it in a retro-futurist package. Each piece is unique. Over 250 units made to-date, distributed worldwide.
WHAT IS THE CLOCK MADE FROM?
Custom milled anodized aluminum casing. Premium circuitry and components and authentic Soviet-era nixie tubes.
HOW DOES THE CLOCK WORK?
A nixie tube is a cold-cathode low-pressure vacuum tube that lights a series of digit filaments surrounded by neon gas. A small electrical current is then passed through the tube, lighting the digit filament. Despite this constant electrical feed, since the tubes are classified as cold-cathode and therefore run at a very low temperature, there is no risk of overheating.
Nixie tubes utilize stacked filament numerals that create a very real sense of depth as the numbers change. Each number is its own filament and as a result the numbers jump forward and backwards within the tube. The tubes are controlled by a custom circuit board contained within a custom etched housing. The clock is controlled by four designated buttons on the rear of the unit (the knobs at the front do not perform a function and are ornamental). “Antennae” hardware may differ slightly from that shown.
The IN-12 Tubes and circuit board are not dependant on AC current and can be run in any country.
