ZIN18 Nixie Tube Clock — Black Base, Gold Tubes & Ultra-Clear Glass Cover

The ZIN18 Nixie Tube Clock by Millclock is a modern interpretation of classic neon display technology, handcrafted in Ukraine and designed as a functional piece of art for your desk, studio or living room.

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 & 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.

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.
