Horological Meandering

By Patrick Yuan; a review of the new Nixie Clock by Dalibor Farny. I’ve slowed down on buying watches; and I’ve stepped up increasing my acquisition of horological “lifestyle” items. It’s not just about having more watches than you can wear and enjoy, it’...  

For the lover of clocks and tubes. It could sit next to my conrad-johnson tube amp and pre-amp ;-)

Tube clock meet tube amp! There's a lot of tube to love! There are definitely a lot of Hi-Fi lovers here.

I relish the passion and the depth that you bring to all of your posts, Patrick. Thank you for giving us a full-frame portrait of these devices and Mr. Farny's extraordinary commitment. Your enthusiasm for the Nixies was clear from how you spoke of them l... 

I guess Rolexes have been on my mind lately. Would love to see you and catch up. Have some developments to share with you. Will have to call you sometime!

I have long loved Nixie clocks and have been following Dalibor's progress on Instagram. The one area where others fall short is in presentation which I think is his strong point. I hope to have one one day, but also don't mind waiting as they're only goin... 

We love seeing Grail-Baby enjoying your watches. He'd definitely enjoy this clock, but try to put it somewhere he can't quite reach it yet. And it's all your fault that I've been thinking about Longines timepieces the past day!

A few more non-wrist timekeepers, a few less watches. If you wanna trade your Dalibor Clock for my LLD maybe we should talk!🙄

You gotta keep that one! You've got some awesome pieces. But yea, I think 2019 might be "other" stuff like a clock, mechanical belt buckle (I drooled for nearly ten years looking at Roland Iten buckles), and whatever other art that happens to catch your e...

Put the clock somewhere high up! That way he can't reach it!

Thank you for letting us know about this. Adding it to my list of cool horological “stuff” to acquire.

There's a bit of waiting list. I find I stare at mine, just waiting for the slot machine effect to take place.

I want a Puri with six tubes next!

I saw the Roland Iten belt buckle it and pondered it for the next ten years... Then I met the man and his wife... All I can say is true artists are infectious. This clock is awesome. Definitely something to put on the top of the list. The best part is whe... 

👌🏻😘 Thanks for sharing and such a great report too

It's easy to write a nice report about such an awesome clock. Heck, the clock is so awesome that I'm not able to fully convey how great it is. It's currently on my desk as I type this, and I find that I get a delight whenever it goes through its "slot mac... 

No message body

I remember seeing on for the first time over 3 years ago in Tokyo, blew my mind then S ...  

I hope you get one. I know you'll like it a lot!

Thanks a lot, my friend, for enthusiastic report of this Nixie Clock. I always have been a fan of this pre IC area technology. A big part of my audio gear is tube based too 😉

The tubes are huge. Nearly 13 cm from base to tip! Beautifully proportioned too. Tube amps for audio systems are really cool. But I saw a "clean power supply" for audio systems that used a tube too; that one got me thinking.

A great timepiece for the home or office.

Excellent review. Thanks for sharing. Vte

Always appreciate your comments. It'd be nice to get one with six tubes. The six tubes but this same clean architectural design. Sometimes I want some more "movement" and the seconds would add a nice amount of movement.

Now I want one! Can you take a picture of it compared with say an iPhone so we can tell the relative size of it? Thanks for the review!

Here's an iPhone Plus size. I'm using my iPhone X to take the photo. There's also a pen as a good reference. ...  

Truly stunning clock, still thinking if I should get another nixie after the last few rounds of failed clocks. Cheers

Some user error. I programmed it to go dark at night. But then I thought it was broken after coming back from a trip where I hadn't seen the clock for a few days. Then I remembered I set the clock to turn off at night so it would use less electricity.

Those tube watches are really cool too!

I have to thank you for promoting this clock. I bought one relying upon the fact that you had invested in one - it had to be the best quality! It arrived with a week and is amazing. Thanks for providing the maker’s name.

Thank YOU for commenting and responding! I'm not sure it was me on YouTube as I don't have any YouTube videos that I know of. And welcome to the forum! I'm honored to be your first post! Apologies that I'm so late in responding. Dalibor Farny is indeed an...
