Words, symbols, and more. Here's one of them:

Great Michel, looking fine I must say congrats on your hard work. Will be
interesting to see the case/strap you design for it.

Thanks Dave,
It's a bit of a struggle doing my own work and the nixie watch in my
spare time. I would really like to see it in it's case, but I know for
a fact I'll be very busy next week. Still, I'll give it my best shot.

Hi Dalibor,
Yeah it's mine :) , if you want i can send you some amount of Kovar wire to
experiment with (you don't need to flaten the Kovar) so it's easier. And
you can weld other wires to it.
Dan.

Hi there, the idea of making as small tubes as possible is really
interesting. Do you have some site where you post any info about your
progress?

Hi Danill,
You are genuine designer ;-)
i would be very grateful for a sample of Kovar wire! I could provide a role
of stainless steel foil, 0.1mm thick, 316L type - low carbon. It could be
used for making the cathodes by photo-etching. I am expecting a package
from USA, I couldn't find a
Hi Vladimir,
thats nice to hear about small nixies, I am going to make nixies in size of
ZM1040, and then I will go for much bigger tubes ;-)
The book will be tomorrow..
As for the cathode material - I think stainless steel in combination with
mercury dispenser were used in latest nixies, so it

Nice, I would be interested, it is good for testing purposes..
Is it lead glass? Do You know what kind of glass was used for the tube
envelope in combination with this stems?
Send me please pricing and shipping on email, I would take some..
Thank You,

Thanks (about designer) :)
About Kovar, give me your adress and I will send you (to email of course)
About webpage I don't have, now I'm studying Master's degree so I
completely have no time to make one.
All my spare time goes to build my little home workshop and it goes very
very slow...
Nice!
I wish there where small enough Nixies to make a four digit watch the
same (or smaller) size! If it would have been possible to make the
counting logic with small dekatrons I would have paid anything to get
one!

Thanks Martin,
It is of course technically possible to use dekatrons, but are there
any that are small enough for use as a wrist watch? Also, to make it
worth the effort, you need quite a stash of those tubes, I mean it
doesn't really make sense to spend all this time designing it and then

Ohh, I would go for just one watch if I had the parts, mass production
has never been my focus as I just do these thingd for fun and because
I can.
I guess that the Burroughs Self Scan design is the smallest dekatron-

Nice tubes, had a look at some on youtube. They still seem relatively
large. If there was a dekatron that would fit inside a B4998 envelope
it would more appealing.
I think family and work is for most of us the reason why projects take
more time than initially planned :-) I usually start too many

There's the A108 group (A107, A108, A109).

speed, power saving modes and sensor sensitivity.
Yeah, I can see potential in that one. But how can you turn that into
a clock? It would have been great if it had 12 segments rather than
10. Otherwise you need 1 tube for each digit and some form of face
plate to show the number it actually represents.

The obvious solution is to geek out completely and make a dekatron
watch that tells time in metric! Use two A108s and divide the day into
10 hours of 100 minutes, then have the first tube display hours and
the second 10s of minutes. Sure, nobody is going to be able to read
the thing, but once you
