Crafting Nixie Tubes Since 2011
I was disheartened to learn that, after discovering nixie tubes in 2011, they were no longer manufactured. Still I had a desire to craft a clock with generous-sized tubes. And so began my research into making them myself.

Size
Big as a Can
Considered one of the biggest nixies, you’ll be hard pressed to find another with a more impressive profile or equally remarkable dimensions.
Craftsmanship
Handmade in the Czech Republic
Under our small-scale production, we invest 3 hours to craft each individual nixie tube by hand to precision.
Six Years in Development
Our humble start grew into strong demand, which is why we’re making our production more efficient while maintaining artistic integrity. Since our inception, we’ve reduced fail rate to 2.3% and hope to open a small factory in the coming years.
