Zen Nixie Clock is our first 6-tube clock designed using R|Z568M nixie tubes from our production. The case is designed in a minimalistic way, combining simple aluminum stand and a glass cover – just like a museum vitrine. Thanks to its simple shapes, the clock suits every interior – especially offices, living rooms... Zen Nixie Clock features Internet connection – the clock contains a wifi module and is designed to operate online. The time is automatically synchronized from network, so you don’t have to do it manually and there are no other devices necessary (no GPS modules, radio modules etc..). In case of power loss, the clock remembers all the settings and time will be synchronized automatically from internet. Easy online settings – all settings of the Zen Nixie Clock can be controlled online from your user account on our website. No need to search for user guide anytime you want to make changes in settings! Silent circuitry – the clock is absolutely silent, there is no audible noise produced by its electronic parts. Direct driven design – nixie tubes are driven directly, this prolongs their lifetime. Common practice is to use multiplexed driving circuit (which is easier to manufacture and cheaper), but such a driving circuit shorten nixie tube lifetime. Cathode poisoning prevention – the clock can periodically run a cathode poisoning prevention routine. This helps to keep all digits of all tubes in good condition. Rotary knob – for offline users, there is a rotary knob on the back of the board. Using this knob, user can enter into settings menu and do the settings manually. This feature is still in development. Online firmware update – the integrated wifi module makes online firmware updates possible. Whenever there is a new firmware update (new features, bug fixes), your clock can be updated remotely. No blue spot – there are no blue spots in the tubes known from some other clocks (especially clocks built with IN-18 nixie tubes). Colon tubes – the clock support our colon tubes (in development), they will match design of the nixie tubes (by base and internal structure). RGB underlight – there are 8 RGB leds (WS2812B – “neopixels”) on the bottom of the board which make some cool effects possible. Purist customers who prefers nixie tube glow only can set the underlight off. This feature is in development!
Add Improvement
If “Cathode Cleaning Interval” is set to 1 minute, there should be an option (ON/OFF) to make it replace the normal “Digit Transition” on every minute change. This would vastly increase the visualization, at least on the Puri 4. Thanks!
Please please add a widget to this wonderful app
This app is great, please please add widget to this app I want to have it on on my iPad all the time, instead going back and forth to see. So asking if you could add widget to this awesome app. Thank you!
Widgets
Best nixie clock, please add widget to this wonderful nixie clock.
Nixie app
It’s a terrible app you can’t get it out of military time and help does not attempt to even address it
12 Hour Mode TvOS
For the tvOS version the clock needs a 12h format. Please add it.
Needs 12 Hour Mode
Can we please have a 12 hour mode? Is it really that hard to program?
Great App for an even Greater Clock
This app really brings the nixie clock full circle. Not only is the clock a price of art but Dalbor has created an app that works seamlessly. There’s new updates frequently with new features you didn’t know you needed. How much better can it get? It seems impossible but Dalbor keeps finding ways to make the app and the clock even better!
