Intro
The IN17x7 Series 1 Nixie Tube Clock is a highly distinctive desktop time-keeping device like no other. Even if you are familiar with nixie tubes, this clock stands out from the pack. Most nixie clocks have 4, or at most 6 tubes. The IN17x7 has 7 tubes. These russian-made, cold-war era nixie tubes are driven by a modern design that runs cool and stays accurate.
The IN17x7 will keep track of and display the month day and year. In addition, if your region participates in Daylight Savings Time, the IN17x7 will automatically make the adjustments twice per year. That, combined with its battery-backup feature means it will rarely need any adjustment.
The IN17x7 has several other features including periodic chime, adjustable visual effects, alarm with snooze, and tube saver.
