ZIN18 Nixie Tube Clock — Black Base, Gold Tubes & Ultra-Clear Glass Cover
This edition combines a deep black anodised aluminium base with gold ZIN18 Nixie tubes, all protected under an ultra-clear glass dome. The contrast between the dark base, warm gold metal and crystal-clear cover creates a premium, gallery-like presentation that draws attention without dominating the space.
Each digit is formed by compact ZIN18 Nixie tubes: precision-crafted cathodes suspended in glass and illuminated by a warm neon glow. Modern electronics add Wi-Fi synchronisation, automatic NTP time updates, RGB underlighting, 12/24-hour formats and smooth animations that protect the tubes from cathode poisoning.
More than a timekeeping device, the Black Base & Gold Tubes Edition is a collectable instrument of engineering and design — assembled and tested by Millclock engineers in Ukraine for long-lasting precision and reliability.

Design, Technology & Care
Design & Materials
The black anodised aluminium base, gold ZIN18 tubes and ultra-clear glass dome create a striking composition of dark, warm and transparent elements. The dome keeps dust away while presenting the tubes like a small museum exhibit on your desk.
Technology & Reliability
Equipped with Wi-Fi NTP synchronisation, efficient driver electronics and Slot-Machine protection, the ZIN18 delivers excellent accuracy and extended tube life. Anti-poisoning routines regularly cycle digits to preserve the cathodes inside each tube.
Assembly
Each clock is hand-built in Ukraine by Millclock technicians. Every unit is checked for tube alignment, brightness balance, Wi-Fi performance and overall build quality before shipping.
Care & Maintenance
Clean the base and glass dome with a dry microfiber cloth only. Avoid liquids, chemical cleaners and prolonged direct sunlight. Recommended operating temperature: 0 – 40 °C (32 – 104 °F).

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.
