Millclock brand story

Time for a change

Our story begins with a passion for innovative technology that respectfully preserves the spirit of the past.

In today's world, homes, offices, and commercial spaces often look alike. Mainstream products dominate the market, making it difficult to find truly original pieces that reflect personal taste and high standards.

Our founder, Igor Pilipenko, set out to create something that opened new possibilities. For as long as he can remember, he has been fascinated by Nixie tubes — their vintage aesthetics, visible craftsmanship, and the effortless retro-electronic character they bring to any environment.

From reselling to redefining Nixie tubes

Reselling

2011

In 2011, he began reselling Nixie tubes on eBay to share them with others who appreciated their charm. But this was only the beginning — the desire to reinvent the technology grew stronger and could no longer be ignored.

Own brand

2016

In 2016, he took the step toward building his own brand — one that would allow him to manufacture Nixie tubes himself. Yet it was collaboration with like-minded professionals that truly brought his vision to life.

Team

Now

Realizing he could not achieve this alone, he formed a team of specialists who shared the ambition to create genuine, meaningful craftsmanship.
