Did someone say Nixie???

 




Nixie Machine I - probably my favorite piece!  





Urwerk and Dalibor Farny's Collaboration!  For Only Watch 2023!


Looks like a Lightsaber from Star Wars.  



















Dalibor Farny's 6 Tube Puri Clock



Frank Buchwald X Dalibor Farny Collaboration, entitled Nixie Machine II



A Frank Buchwald Lamp No. 3.  Only a few of these were ever made.  



Frank Buchwald Lamp No. 1.  Only about 20 something of these pieces have been artisan crafted in the artist's lifetime.



Frank Buchwald's parts production...











Herr Mad Scientist in his Laboratory err...  atelier, which is really in the top floor of an old industrial building that shows some bullet holes from WW2.











This Nixie tube is edible!  


What comes next after Nixie Clocks?  Well...  More clocks!  Miki Eleta Clocks!  This is Miki Eleta's Passage of Time.  It was a GPHG Nominee last year.  



This is Miki Eleta's Svemir (Universe in Bosnian language).  It was a the clock that caught my eye and made me fall in love with this master craftsman.  



Svemir at the 2021 Dubai Watch Week.



Miki Eleta's Hammock Clock.  What an exquisite piece!  The six gongs will never have the same song repeated in 100 years of operation.




Miki Eleta's Minute Muncher.  A beast eats the minutes and the minutes disappear as the beast eats them!


A Horse Race Clock!



A mechanical randomizer ensures a random winner, in every race.  




All made by hand.  


No computers.  No CNC machines.  Just a calculator and some math written on the edges for the calculations.

I like analog AB class with a trafo Audio the most. Digital have it’s failures, while i use a streamer for nonstop music. It’s the amplification that will always be old school. Tubes looks amazing, i can only agree that.

A very big guy in the watch industry said he's sad that he doesn't own one. He can easily afford one (it might even be a business expense), so he might rectify that if he finds one that captures his heart.

Very nice!

I almost got the one that's at the bottom (cut off in your photo). But it was broken and in the end I didn't want the hassle. Still. Lots of charm!

Patek made that one in 2 types, on that is a slave , and needs connected to a masterclock, and one that can run as stand alone. At this moment they also have it in the Patek Museum Geneva But for me the small nixie tubes in it are not so special, I like m...  

Exactly!

Exactly! I like the tubes to be big. The one I saw seemed to run on its own and did not need to be connected to a master clock. But yes, the tubes weren't huge. Although the enclosure did look nice and big. Have you seen the Dalibor Farny tube clocks? I'v... 

Not me! I wished I could take credit!

I do like Nolan's style of films! But I unfortunately can't say I've ever spoken to him about Nixies. Hmm... Maybe I've mentioned it to someone who's a producer, got to go check the credits.
