ZIN18 Nixie Tube Clock — Black Aluminium Case with Smoked Glass Dome

The ZIN18 Nixie Tube Clock by Millclock unites vintage glow-tube craftsmanship with modern design precision. Its black anodised aluminium body and smoked glass dome create a mysterious contrast — revealing the warm neon digits through a soft tinted glow.

The six original ZIN18 Nixie tubes rise from black bases, enclosed in an optical-grade dome that filters light for a cinematic, atmospheric appearance. The clock displays hours, minutes, date, month, and year, offering 12 / 24-hour modes, Wi-Fi NTP synchronization, and internal memory backup.

Hand-assembled in Ukraine, each ZIN18 unit undergoes precision alignment, calibration, and glow testing. This model transforms the concept of time into a tactile experience — a balance between analog warmth and modern engineering. Its smoked glass finish makes it ideal for dim interiors, offices, or studio environments, emphasizing the charm of controlled illumination.

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!

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

Martin

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. 🙂

Loretta Fortuna

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.
