The popularity of the "geek-clocks" Nixie is extraordinary: it's not for nothing that not only the models already assembled, but also kits for self-assembly, boards, separate elements come to the market. Nevertheless, not everyone wants to collect, and not everyone is interested, but to get a ready-made accessory - why not?

One of these models is available under the Lighthouse brand - these are small hours on the gas-discharge indicators, which display time in hour-minute format which will be presented by https://millclock.com/en/

This model is convenient for all parameters. First, the clock is really compact. The size of the case will allow to keep them even on the desktop, practically not taking up excess space.

The length of the body is only about 13 cm. The width is about 5 cm.

They are also convenient in the settings. This model does not have any additional features, synchronization with the smartphone, etc. For settings - the only control panel that is located on the back side.

The buttons set the time and select the format 12 or 24-hour. Left switch - it is responsible for the illumination of indicators. The switch and the control buttons "splits" the connector for the power adapter.

The clock works on the indicators IN-14.

This model will be an excellent business gift or a prestigious souvenir for a loved one. The gadget is perfectly packed in a wooden box.

As for the cost, it must be said that individual elements, watches, and sets themselves can cost tens of thousands. For example, on the same famous Chinese sites you can find gadgets from 17,000 rubles, and sets from 10,000.
