Bob C. shared a link with me yesterday to a manufacturer that I was not familiar with - GlowingTech. They have about a half dozen finished clocks for sale in addition to complete kits and components. What really sets their designs apart from other manufacturers that I've seen is the materials that the enclosures are made of. Recycled circuit boards are featured prominently in their designs. Be sure to visit their site for more information.
Here is a nice IN-12 Nixie clock that is sold as a kit or may be purchased fully assembled for 40 € more. One neat feature about this clock is that the tubes are backbit with color changing LED's that can be programmed for a specific color or allowed to fade between colors. (The back light brightness is adjustable.) For the time display, several modes are included: scrolling date, display fading, and digit cycling in.
If anyone gets one, please leave a note in the comments!
Video review number three is online! I'm starting to get the hang of this. Bob C. from the Facebook page shared a short tutorial which was helpful. The big take away for me is that I really need to get a better microphone to help with the sound. I'm also searching for CC licensed music to help spice up the videos...but that might take some time.
Back on topic: this review is for the NixiChron by Jeff Thomas. Several people suggested that I review this clock...so I did!

tl;dr - This was my first nixie clock and if it broke, I would buy it again!
