NIWA Nixie Tube Watch

If you’re unfamiliar, the Nixie tube is a cold cathode display that is primarily used to present numbers. Modern technology has all but completely phased out their use, but that hasn’t stopped NIWA from cramming the cool, warm, glowing tubes into a great watch you can wear anywhere. The 55mm diameter round watch has a case machined from aircraft-grade aluminum that’s available in grey or black with 24mm silicone straps in a faux bracelet style. After almost two years in development, the team finally completed work on the finished prototype that easily and elegantly displays time on the Nixie tubes using a gyro sensor that shows you the time when you want to see it but doesn’t waste precious battery life. The NIWA Nixie Tube Watch also includes a dock station with stand, extra tubes, magnet for reed switches, USB cable, special wood box and, most importantly, a lifetime warranty for the Nixie tubes.
