IN-14 Nixie Tube Clock — Tyrant Gold Anodised Aluminium Case with 6 Vintage Tubes

The Millclock IN-14 Nixie Clock in Tyrant Gold anodised aluminium is our compact tribute to mid-century electronics — redesigned for modern interiors.

Inside the minimalist aluminium block, six original IN-14 Nixie tubes bring time to life with a warm neon glow. Each digit is drawn by a delicate hexagonal mesh and orange cathodes, creating a precise, architectural look on your desk or shelf.

The Tyrant Gold finish adds a refined metallic sheen somewhere between champagne and brushed brass. It pairs effortlessly with dark wood, glass and black hardware — ideal for creative studios, offices and living rooms where technology becomes part of the decor.

Inside, a modern high-precision controller keeps time reliably, while smart firmware takes care of anti-poisoning routines, animations and brightness control. You get classic Nixie aesthetics without the vintage maintenance headache.

Hand-assembled in Ukraine by Millclock, this clock arrives fully built: just plug in the included power supply, set the time and enjoy the calm rhythm of glowing digits.

Quick Start & Operation

1. Unboxing & Placement

Place the clock on a stable, dry surface away from direct sunlight and heat sources. Make sure there is free space above the tubes for ventilation.

Connect the included 12 V DC adapter to the rear power jack and then to the wall outlet. The tubes will light up and the clock will start in factory mode.

3. Setting Time & Date

Use the buttons on the back to enter setup mode (short press / long press depending on firmware). Adjust hours, minutes, seconds, day, month and year. Confirm each value to move to the next.

Details

Design, Technology & Use Cases

Design & Materials

The enclosure is machined from solid aluminium and finished in Tyrant Gold anodising. The warm metallic tone contrasts with the cool glass of the IN-14 tubes, while the precise hexagonal mesh inside each lamp underlines the technical character of the clock.

Electronics & Firmware

A modern high-voltage supply and microcontroller drive the tubes safely, with anti-poisoning routines, smooth transitions and configurable brightness levels. A dedicated real-time clock chip keeps accurate time even if the clock is briefly disconnected from mains.

Applications

Perfect as a desk clock, accent piece in a studio or living room, or a memorable gift for engineers, designers and collectors who appreciate original Nixie technology with a contemporary twist.

Care & Safety

The clock contains high-voltage electronics inside the sealed case. Do not open the enclosure or remove the tubes. Use only the supplied 12 V adapter. Keep away from moisture and do not cover the tubes while operating.
