It is not everyday that you see clocks that appeal to your visual sense. We hang clocks just for the heck of it. But, the VFD tube clock range from Turbo Hobby is a total eye candy. VFD stands for Vacuum fluorescent display, which by the way is often seen on microwave, old school VHS players, and car stereos. Made of filaments and anodes, it is enclosed by a glass, maintaining high vacuum inside. And, these clocks are also designed on the same principle. The moment you will look at the time pieces you will know that these are just meant for you. Due to a different kind of a light emitted, you will be instantly attracted to it.

These clocks come in two models: Single digit VFD and Single digit SZ-8 Nixie (top). The single digit model has a rectangular base in black, containing the power source. It has a top view (YS30) and an end view (YS18). On the other hand the Nixie model has a green colored base with many-many connections. The display is made of circular wire mesh, which is enclosed in a circular glass tube. When these designs will be fully finished you will be able to buy them from here on eBay.
