Providing a somewhat antiquated aesthetic that is merged with high-tech accoutrements, the Blub Keo nixie tube clock is a stylistically complex piece of home decor. Featuring an aluminum base, the Blub Keo works by displaying the current time in single digit intervals that flash continuously throughout operation.
Aside from being able to display the time, the Blub Keo can also flash the date and temperature to make it more of a stylistically antique way to stay informed. Being that nixie tubes have a very low power consumption rating, the Blub Keo can be powered via a USB port on a laptop or PC. Five different base finishes can be chosen from, while the tubes within the Blub Keo clock can be easily replaced should they ever break.
