Hyper-impressive.
I feel like saying that Urwerk is the independent brand I love most aside of Sarpaneva, but in a diametrically opposite context - Avant-garde space-themed context 
. This one is, as you eloquently put it, a work of art in constant motion, and like Erwin Schrodinger timelessly wrote in his small book 'What is life', something that is in unceasing motion is the very definition he provides. Thanks a bunch for such a quality report! Cheers, Filip
Urwerk: Spacetime Blade - a Nixie Clock By Urwerk!
The visionary founders of Urwerk: Felix Baumgartner (the Swiss watchmaker, not the daredevil Austrian stuntman, there are two famous people with the same name) and Marin Frei continue to amaze. They keep on coming out with out-of-the-box ideas that are fr...
Look at it this way...
If you get another watch, it doesn't add a lot of utility to your life. You can only enjoy one or two watches a day. But with this clock, if you put it in your office, you can enjoy it almost every day! Plus! It's a tax write off! It's a business expendit...
Take into account, that these clocks can have a noticable „ticking“ sound.
I love the destination moon, but I wouldn‘t be able to set it up in my bedroom or such.
Thank you for this advice.
It didn’t occur to me to check on the ticking. I have a Dalibor Farny Nixie clock in my bedroom, these are silent.
Oh goodness, wristwatches can be loud too!
This watch made a lot of noise! A big ticking noise on the nightstand! And the watch was already resting on four layers of polishing cloths which should dampen the sound a bit. This watch has an unusual "Robin" escapement. The first two nights, I was wond...
First pic looks like they are a Kraftwerk Boy-Band Tribute Act.

I just listened to the whole thing! Sounds good!
There might be a small buzzer on the circuit board so it might be able to make some beeping sounds. But no speaker on the circuit board so it can't play any complex tones.
And you can program it to display different things...
For instance, instead of the time, you can program it to display the distance in kilometers that the Earth has traveled on its orbit around the sun so far this year. Our orbit is around 149 million kilometers. How do they display that with only 8 digits?
This would look nice in a pair…
And at 1.7m, it definitely helps in reading the time. When I first saw this, I tried to figure out how to read the time without first reading the article. Kinda figure out until the last 2 tubes…so we can now set meeting time down to the 1/100 seconds 😂 s...
Everyone needs to arrive at this very very specific time - down to the 1/100th of a second!
Yes! The size is quite large! Nobody will give an excuse for not knowing what time it is!
Off the beaten path and almost looks like it came from outer space!
Makes me think it came from a Luc Besson movie!
How old are your kids?
Can we still sell your kids? Or are they adults already? (joking). It's a lot of money! Lots of money indeed!
Thanks for this in-depth post about this amazing brand and there projects.
I am a long time fan of the brand and this amazing new clock is just wow 🤩.
I agree!
I think clocks are going to be the next big thing. Nixie clocks have already been rising in popularity the past 10 years or so. If you look at it, some of the biggest influencers are getting heavy into clocks. Heads of watch departments for auction houses...
I always been a fan of clocks ( something my family not always appreciate -:)
I have some nice additions but would love to add a Nixie clock at some point
You'll soon be joining a very cool group of Nixie Clock owners and fans...
Think partners who own portions of Audemars Piguet, heads of watch departments at auction houses, a former head of an auction house watch department, and various other watch experts. I'd say you'll be in good company!

You're most welcome!
I haven't read Schrodinger's book. Might have to add that to my reading list! Thank you for sharing that anecdote!
I just love the craziness of it all 🤩
Another strong offering from the guys. I don’t know how much longer I can resist….
Trust me! I'm a victim of my own enabling sometimes!
There's a good chance this particular case will be a good example of that.
