Practicality aside, this is a luxury item I’m absolutely GAGA over. I’ve always been a fan of tubes, their undeniably analog look and warm glow. This clock is made out of tubes that display the time, called NIXIE tubes. The vintage/modern combo of this piece just about sends me over the edge. Everything about this clock is awesome, and I would love to have it sitting on my dresser/desk. In addition to being extremely good looking, it’s also one of the most reasonably priced clocks of this variety I’ve been able to find (Tracey… hint hint;).
Still, it’s expensive for a clock but that fact is bypassed by it’s sheer awesomeness.
