Nixie Machine Clock designed by Frank Buchwald for MB&F M.A.D Gallery is one of the most badass sculptural clocks we have ever seen. The jaw-dropping creation is crafted out of burnished steel, brushed brass, and features six glowing Nixie tubes made half a century ago. Don’t worry if you haven’t heard of Nixie tubes before. Nixie tubes are neon numeric displays housed in a vacuum tube-like enclosure and were one of the earliest ways for digital devices to give users feedback. They’ve now turned into very desirable collectors’ items and can sell for hundreds of dollars a piece.
