ZIN18 Nixie Tube Clock — Silver Aluminium Case & Ultra-Clear Glass Dome

The name “ZIN” unites the elegance of Z-class bases with the iconic IN-18 Nixie tube. By extending the digit size to 44 mm and reinforcing the structure with modern tube production methods, Millclock created the Reborn ZIN18 — a strong, durable and precise alternative to vintage components. Unlike the old-stock tubes that are increasingly rare, the ZIN18 is newly manufactured by Millclock, opening new possibilities for custom nixie-tube projects, engineering applications and high-end clock design.

In this exquisite edition, six brilliant ZIN18 tubes stand proudly within a premium, silver-anodised aluminium case, paired with matching silver bases. Above them rises an ultra-clear glass dome, crafted from optical-grade borosilicate glass that offers full visibility without distortion, showcasing the warm neon glow of each digit in cinematic detail.

The clock presents hours, minutes, date, month and year, with user-selectable 12-hour / 24-hour modes. Automatic Wi-Fi synchronisation via NTP ensures accurate timekeeping, and internal memory retains time during power interruptions. Each unit is hand-assembled in Ukraine by Millclock’s expert engineers, calibrated for uniform glow, alignment, and dependability.

The ZIN18 Silver Clear Edition transcends typical timepieces. It is both a precision instrument and a piece of illuminated art — designed for collectors, designers, and enthusiasts of retro technology and modern craftsmanship. With its seamless fusion of vintage display aesthetics, modern electronics and architectural materials, the ZIN18 makes a bold statement in any interior.

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. πŸ™‚
