ZIN18 Nixie Tube Clock — Black Aluminium Case with Transparent Glass Dome
From the black-finish base to the transparent glass dome, every element is designed to highlight the visual drama of illumination in motion. The six tubes are mounted securely with black-finished bases, underscoring the minimal, high-contrast design. The display offers hours, minutes, date, month and year; supports both 12-hour and 24-hour formats; and includes automatic Wi-Fi NTP time sync and memory backup for power loss.
Hand-assembled in Ukraine by Millclock’s artisans, this piece is more than a clock — it is a collectible statement of retro-futuristic design, combining the tactile warmth of neon discharge with the clarity of contemporary materials and glass architecture. Ideal for desks, shelves or curated interiors, the ZIN18 Black Dome Edition transforms time into mechanical art.

Technical Specifications
Build & Experience
Design & Materials
The combination of a matte black anodised body and ultra-transparent glass dome creates a striking visual effect: the glass amplifies depth and lets the neon glow display of the six ZIN18 Nixie tubes fill your space with warm amber light, while the black base anchors the piece in technical sophistication.
Technology & Longevity
Each ZIN18 tube within the clock is engineered for durability, using precision-formed cathodes and filled with neon-argon gas. The integrated slot-machine routine cycles digits automatically to protect cathodes and ensure a lifespan exceeding 50 years of typical use.
Craftsmanship
Hand-assembled in Ukraine by Millclock’s team of engineers, each clock goes through multi-step calibration and inspection, from glass dome fitting and tube alignment to electronic testing and final cosmetic finish.
Care & Maintenance
To preserve optical clarity and neon glow, clean the glass dome with a dry microfiber cloth only. Avoid abrasive materials or chemical solvents. Keep the unit in ambient conditions between 0-40 °C and away from direct sunlight to maintain tube longevity and consistent light output.
Included in Box
Clock unit, 12 V DC - 1 A power adapter (country-matched plug), acrylic tube guards, instruction manual, quality certificate.
Absolutely fantastic! The work that goes into making these fascinates me and so it is brilliant to finally have one now working away gently illuminating the corner of my room. Thank you!
This is an absolutely amazing work of art. Really beautiful design. The packaging and delivery was exceptional. Thanks so much for producing this lovely clock.
Works well and looks super cool. My fiancé really enjoyed this Christmas gift! for reference, the shop got it in the mail within five days or so and shipping to the US took about two and a half weeks. worth it in my book!
The quality of the clock is really high, however I was little disappointed it didn't come with the box and carry case pictured in one of the photos. However I am still happy with the clock it is exactly as in the photos, looks amazing!
Great product! looks great in my living room. happy with the purchase.
Extremely high Quality! This Nixie Tube clock is really a piece of Art! Smooth Transaction and fast delivery to Germany via UPS. Keep in mind that import taxes are due depending on the price. Very good Service and helpful answers via e-mail within hours.
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. 🙂
My son wanted this for the past 10 years and was ecstatic when he received it. We all can't stop watching it. It was everything and more than expected.
