nixie tube watch

I recently had the good fortune of sitting next to Steve Wozniak on an airplane and he was wearing this very cool tube watch! A good christmas gift idea for the tube lover and actually not very expensive (although the manufacturers website indicates that they are currently out of stock due to demand.)

They ran out of stock when Steve bought it. I heard that in the spring they will be releasing the Nixie 6550 wall clock. lol

I bet it will keep better time if you have it cryo-treated!! I agree with Detredwings,it is really ugly.

I have to admit I really like tubes. But that watch is really ugly.

“If I wanted to buy a watch that guaranteed I would never get laid, I certainly wouldn't have to spend that much on it.”

That pretty much covers it for me too.
