Horological Meandering

After some chatting with our fellow member and moderator Patrick last year I decided to purchase a nixie clock from Dalibor Farny. Several members, Patrick included, own these clocks and the feedback has been all positive. The clock was delivered in Decem...  

I think the 6, with the seconds display, would be more dynamic and maybe because of that be more obvious in whatever room it was placed. This one, in addition to being slim as you noted, lacks that dynamic aspect and so it blends in nicely.

But haven't been able to choose which one, so you're helping me a lot! They seem to me so pure in its design, and soothing. Best regards. René

I would probably not put that one in a bedroom, as there's a lot of life and movement there. And the app allows the clock to shut off when you go to sleep, so you can program it to turn off after 10PM and turn back on at around 6AM. This way it won't dist... 

I got it back when I first read Patrick’s post. I don’t have the room for the “4”. ...

A very nice clock on a very nice rift oak wall shelf! I see you've hidden the cabling behind the shelf. I do like the six tube version. But it does take up significantly more space. The base is exponentially larger since it has to preserve the proportions... 

So where I plan to place this I do have room for the 6 tube. And the seconds indication would likely be a good addition in that space. That said, I’d have nowhere for the 4 tube then so maybe I’m good for now ! I think the only negative right now for me i... 

But got a Nixie instead.

The mechanism flushes away oxidation every 10 minutes so it does produce an electronic display worthy of the large Nixie tubes. I thought the 6 valve version with the seconds flashing away would be too distracting. It is an amazing piece of engineering wi... 

I had the same objection to Journe’s Vagabondage III, the seconds just add noise. Very happy with mine still.

What are your thoughts? A decorative item or something with actual function too?

And I do use it to tell time.

All credit to Patrick who flagged these for me and after chatting about his experiences led me to getting this.
