There are three things that are stopping me from building my own clock:
1) I only like simple shinny metal and glass, neither of which I can build or
design on my own.
2) I only would consider direct drive circuits. If I needed to reduce the brightness, I would PWM it myself, but I do not want the
multiplex circuit limiting the maximum brightness.
3) Time. Creating a direct drive PCB from scratch is a bit much.
I would prefer a simple Arduino shield or daughter board, but it is difficult to find something that is direct drive and in a form
factor that is appropriate for a clock. I would prefer something using https://pinocc.io/ so that I can get time from NTP instead
of GPS.

Sorry to throw out a link, but I wanted to make sure you're aware of this nixie
shield for the Arduino: http://arduinix.com/
I have built the kit (v1); it went together fine and I ended up debugging some of the "crossfade" code for the 6-digit
daughtercard. I also used the Arduinix for a non-clock application: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9kbrIwxNr9g
