After the successful Limited Edition Art Deco Nixie Clock, Nuvitron Presents The Postmodern Nixie Clock; a piece of electronic art with a contemporary and elegant aesthetic. Once more, skilled artisans carefully made this gorgeous clock. It has a handcrafted wooden enclosure with 6 layers of polyurethane finish. This is also a limited production because the fabrication of those tubes ceased long time ago. Nuvitron combined the best of retro technologies and state of the art electronics in a wonderful setting. It uses NEW nixie tubes that were manufactured decades ago in the former Soviet Union during the Cold War with the intention of being part of military equipment but they remained abandoned all these years until now. We rescued them from a cold and dusty basement in Eastern Europe and now they are the centerpiece of Nuvitron´s collection of electronic art. The Postmodern Nixie Clock will look amazing due to its warm orange glow, giving you an old-school atmosphere, no matter where you place it. Nuvitron, Electronics made art. Numeric Indicator Experimental Nº1 - NIXIE: That is how the Nixie name was born. A simple and elegant solution to meet the need of a numerical display. This technology was developed by an american company called Burroughs Corporation in the mid fifties. Each Nixie tube included in this clock contains 10 electrodes (one for each digit) made out of Molybdenum, and separated by ceramic rings. Everything is enclosed in a glass tube, filled with a mixture of Neon and Argon gases at low pressure. When a high voltage is applied, the electrodes in the shape of numbers glow in a warm orange color. This tubes were manufactured in the former Soviet Union and were kept in basements in their original boxes during the Cold War. For your enjoyment, Nuvitron brings this old school technology to your home, our Nixie tubes are new old stock never used before, and are at least 30 old. The Postmodern Nixie Clock by Nuvitron - RED
