Nixie Tube Digital Wristwatch: Holy Cow it's a watch
Piyush | Oct 10 2007

Take a look at this geek stuff a Nixie tube digital wrist watch. Imagine your self wearing this watch and people staring at you. It’s bound to happen, can’t avoid it.

The Nixie tube wrist watch is fairly simple in operation in that you press a button to illuminate the Nixie Tubes. It runs by a AA battery which can power the watch for 6 months if the time is viewed about a dozen times a day.

Only 25 of these beauties were ever made. Time is kept by 2 watch type batteries which last around 6 months and are independent of the Nixie Tubes. It measures 2.75 x 1.5 x 1.2 inches and the tubes have a soft orange glow which the original Nixie Tubes had.

It’s fragile and needs a lot of care and handling. It costs $495 although they are now sold out a long time ago.
