I’m talking about “The watch 2” by The Watch Store which shows us time in nixies tubes. Don’t know what nixie tubes are? Well, I got that covered too. nixie tubes are basically glass tubes which contain a wire-mesh anode and multiple cathodes, shaped like numerals or other symbols. Applying power to one cathode surrounds it with an orange glow discharge. The tube is filled with a gas at low pressure, usually mostly neon and often a little mercury or argon, in a Penning mixture. what I made it worse didn’t i. To give you a little example I added a little preview below.
In This premium watch series, there are two colors available for sale black and silver. both of them are amazing as you can see in the pictures Each kit contains the watch, metal band,2 USB cables with an introduction manual with English and Russian languages.
