I could not agree more, Tomasz. The slim base was the first thing that
caught my eye. Personally, I find the vertical proportions just about
perfect. But a six-tubes version with Z568M is simply too wide for my
taste. I'd rather go for a four-tube version, but with the addition of
one of Dalibor's newly designed colon tubes. That would look simply amazing.
Regarding the electronics, I think using SMD quite a lot is possible
these days. Because the base of the Z568M tubes is pretty big, and there
is no LED backlighting, there is probably enough space under the tubes
themselves for some drivers (if they are mounted in the PCB directly).
You could even use ten small MPSA92 SMD transistors, but then I am not
so sure how you would go about the dimming. Maybe invest in an extra
anode PNP driver.
This clock truly is a work of art.
Cheers

Stunning. I like when the base is small, without any fancy details nor
RGB back(under)light. It puts the tubes in the center of attention.
I wonder how tightly packed are components inside and how the wood was
processed - some components, like DC jack or boost converter coil take
up alot of space. Not to metion any buttons or knobs to set the time.
The flat and very thin base reminds me of a bonsai tree - and like
bonsai trees, this clock is a work of art.

I know we're all in love with Dalibor's tubes here, but these
Z568M look
nice.
