NIXIE TIME ZONE CLOCK V2
Created to display the time in ve dierent time zones simultaneously, the Nixie
Time Zone V2 is a unique kinetic table clock that will make you travel around
the globe. The time is displayed using new, genuine “Nixie” tubes (numerical
indicators) made by hand in Germany in the 60s. These gas-lled tubes have a
lifespan of more than 20 years in standard operation and have become almost
impossible to nd today. Invented and designed in our studio in Lausanne,
Switzerland, this table clock is entirely Swiss Made by the same workshops that
manufacture components for the best Swiss watch brands.
The Nixie Time Zone Clock V2 is made from the highest quality materials and
machining technology. Almost each component is processed more than one
time in the same machine to obtain an incredible level of detail. Many of the
components are nished by hand : the brushed and polished nishings or the
orange enamel painted letters (similar to “cloisonné”), which requires utmost
precision and skill.
Most of the components are treated in PVD (Physical Vapor Deposition) in three
colors: light grey, dark grey and blue. PVD is a high-end coating used for luxury
watch components, medical tools and aerospace technology. The body, which is
milled from a solid aluminum cylinder, is anodized in a unique bronze grey color
we specially formulated just for the clock.
