What every clock does

  • Programmable RGB backlight under each tube: 10 levels per colour, settable for every hour of the day (bright by day, dim at night).
  • Crossfade and “slot machine” effects – the slot machine routine also cycles every digit to prevent cathode poisoning and extend tube life.
  • One-button daylight saving time, 12/24 h, date display, alarm with snooze.
  • Supercapacitor backup: keeps time through short power cuts; settings are stored in non-volatile memory.
  • Night mode: dim or blank the display at night.
  • Optional modules: WiFi time sync, GPS time sync and a motion sensor that switches the tubes off when the room is empty.

The maker

I’m Antoine, a DIY addict and nixie enthusiast based in Paris. I started building nixie clocks for myself, then for collectors around the world. Buying here rather than on a marketplace means a lower price and a direct line to the person who built your clock.
