Nixie clock rolls back the time
Posted on Jul 11, 07 11:00 PM PDT
The Puhlmann Nixie Clock is one time piece that will definitely add a dash of elegance to any living room, despite using glowing bottles of ionized gas that have been obsolete for over 25 years. The Nixie Tubes are actually tiny neon signs that emit a warm, orange glow which corresponds with the current time. These vacuum tubes peek out of a brushed steel plate for that elegant look. You'll need to dig deep for the Puhlmann Nixie Clock though, as it retails for approximately $343 each. It is always interesting to see both old and new technologies meld together in order to bridge the generation gap.
