Combining new, old, and even older, this Nixie tube clock adds several Interesting features that are not normally seen together. The clock itself is constructed with a beautiful hardwood case, and displays time on four Nixie tubes in 12 or 24 hour format. It’s most obvious feature, however, is a dimmable Edison bulb that protrudes from the top of the housing, giving the device a vaguely steampunk feel.
The very modern part of this clock/lighting assembly is how it’s set. Instead of fiddling with buttons to coordinate it visually with another clock, you can simply connect to it with your smartphone via a BLE connection. This allows you to synchronize time, as well as dim the Edison bulb as needed. Since it’s using Bluetooth, no internet connection is needed and if you need to set it up in a remote location, that won’t be a problem.
As of now, the setting app is only available on Android, but an iOS version is under development and should be released in a few months.
