I have simulate the scematic.

You need a resistor between NE555 out and Gate Q1. I think 150 Ohm is good. The peek current is verry high, about the input capacity of the gate from the mosfet.

Is there some hand wired perfboard circuitry involved ? If so, can you provide a photo of both sides. Back in school (when dinosaurs roamed the Earth), I noticed a lot of my fellow students, used thin wire for everything. Power and ground should be heavier. Those switching supplies generate a bunch of interferene. This makes "physically" routing signals, especially power and ground, even more important. Everybody should get a copy of Don Lancaster's TTL Cookbook, if just for the construction guide lines. For actual circuit ideas, you can get his CMOS Cookbook, too. Both are old books, form the 70's, but many of the guidelines still apply.

    Attached find the circuit and the pcb from fritzing. The clock
    works fine but when I adjust the high voltage with R36 the ds1307
    module from Twig
    http://shop.boxtec.ch/twig-ds1307-p-40355.html
    <http://shop.boxtec.ch/twig-ds1307-p-40355.html> starts to flicker
    because on the serial interface it shows strange numbers like
    /165/:/165/:85. After a while it does not return the time over the
    i2c interface at all. A restart of the nixie clock starts showing
    the time again. With an oscilloscope I can see that after a
    certain position on R36 the SDA puls disapear and it shows a flat
    line. I think it is at high level. Not so shure how to read the
    oscilloscope.

    Any Idea why? I don't see a direct link from the high voltage
    power supply to the 2 wire interface. (see attached circuit)

    Kind regards

    Sergio
