IN-14 Nixie Tube Clock — Silver Anodised Aluminium Case with 6 Vintage Tubes

The Millclock IN-14 Nixie clock in a silver anodised aluminium case is a compact tribute to 1960s electronics — rebuilt for modern interiors.

Inside the minimalist aluminium block, six original IN-14 Nixie tubes display time with a warm orange glow. Each digit sits behind a precise hexagonal mesh, turning the clock into a functional piece of engineering art for your desk, shelf or studio.

The silver anodised finish gives the case a clean, technical look that pairs perfectly with dark wood, glass, concrete and black accents — ideal for workspaces and living rooms where technology is part of the design language.

A modern controller inside handles accurate timekeeping while the firmware provides anti-poisoning routines, animations. You enjoy authentic Nixie aesthetics without the typical reliability issues of vintage hardware.

Each clock is hand-assembled in Ukraine by Millclock. It arrives fully assembled: plug in the power supply, set the time and let the steady glow of the digits become part of your daily ritual.

Manual

Quick Start & Operation

1. Unboxing & Placement

Place the clock on a stable, dry surface away from direct sunlight and heat sources. Leave free space above the tubes for ventilation.

2. Power Connection

Connect the included 12 V DC power adapter to the rear jack and then to the wall outlet. The tubes will light up, and the clock will boot into its default mode.

3. Setting Time & Date

Use the rear buttons to enter the setup menu (short/long presses depending on firmware). Set hours, minutes, seconds, day, month and year, confirming each step.

4. 12/24 Hour & Date Format

Inside the menu you can switch between 12-hour and 24-hour display and choose the preferred date format (e.g. DD.MM or MM.DD).

5. Alarm & Night Mode

Set the alarm time and enable/disable the alarm via the buttons. Night mode can dim the tubes or switch them off completely during defined hours.

6. Animations & Anti-Poisoning

The firmware periodically runs a “slot machine” anti-poisoning cycle, cycling all digits to keep cathodes healthy. Depending on the firmware, you can adjust or disable animations in the menu.

7. Care

Clean the case only with a soft dry cloth. Do not use liquids, solvents or abrasive cleaners on the anodised aluminium or glass tubes.

Details

Design, Technology & Applications

Design & Materials

The case is milled from solid aluminium and silver anodised for a durable, technical finish. The cool metallic tone highlights the warm orange glow of the IN-14 tubes, while the precise hexagonal mesh reinforces the industrial character of the clock.

Electronics & Firmware

A modern high-voltage section and microcontroller safely drive the tubes, including anti-poisoning routines, smooth transitions and configurable brightness. A dedicated real-time clock chip ensures the time survives short power interruptions.

Applications

Perfect as a desk clock, living-room statement piece or studio accent, as well as a gift for engineers, designers and collectors who appreciate genuine Nixie technology with modern reliability.

Care & Safety

High-voltage electronics operate inside the closed case. Do not open the clock or remove the tubes. Use only the supplied 12 V power adapter, keep the device away from moisture and do not cover the tubes while the clock is running.

In the Box

• 1 × IN-14 Nixie tube clock in silver anodised aluminium case
• 1 × 12 V DC power adapter (plug type depending on destination country)

My dad loved his birthday present - easy to set up and use! Worked perfectly and the manual was very good

Fast delivery. Took just 8 working days from purchasing to arrival here in Germany. No delay due to import duty and VAT which UPS allowed me to pay online. Was very well packaged and protected from travel damage. Setup was easy. EU-power adapter included. Looks much better in real life than on the photos. 🙂
