Nextube by Rotrics is the first hackable nixie clock of its kind and it features a retro-modern display that offers the warmth of a tube clock and the practical features of modern timekeepers. The design of the clock references Nixie tubes from the mid-1950s, which soon gave way to LED displays. Now, nixie tube clock lovers have the chance to revisit a classic design in a modern way with the Nextube.
Going above and beyond the functions of the average clock, Nextube boasts the ability to share the weather, visualize music tracks or change the atmosphere of any interior space. Users can customize their own display and open-source firmware is provided for those who like to make their own tweaks.
