ZIN18 Nixie Tube Clock — Black Aluminium Case & Gold Bases

The ZIN18 Nixie Tube Clock from Millclock represents a modern revival of vintage electronics, combining the legendary Nixie tube technology with precise machining and contemporary aesthetics. Handcrafted in Ukraine, this retro desk clock brings warm neon light and timeless design into the modern home.

The clock features a durable black anodised aluminium case paired with elegant gold anodised tube bases, creating a striking visual contrast that emphasizes each glowing digit. Six authentic ZIN18 Nixie tubes are powered by efficient electronics that ensure long life and stable brightness.

It displays hours, minutes, date, month, and year in both 12-hour and 24-hour formats, and supports automatic time synchronization through Wi-Fi (NTP network). Built-in memory preserves the correct time even during power interruptions.

Every ZIN18 clock is hand-assembled and individually tested by Millclock engineers to guarantee accuracy, reliability, and visual perfection. Each Nixie tube is made from glass and metal elements with millimeter precision, filled with a noble gas mixture that creates the iconic orange glow discharge — a living expression of electricity.

The black and gold combination enhances both vintage and modern interiors: minimalist desks, loft apartments, or classic wood spaces. This clock is not just a timekeeper — it is a piece of technological art, a collector’s item, and a symbol of craftsmanship.

Ideal for engineers, designers, and lovers of retro electronics, the ZIN18 Nixie Tube Clock connects analogue beauty with digital precision.

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. 🙂
