It is no secret that many high-end audio aficionados are also watch fanatics. In an interesting twist combining the two, music lovers can now enjoy tubed wristwatches!

Nixie tubes! How fun! I wonder if they'll get hot enough to melt down the Krusty battery? Here's some more Nixie stuff:

Seen it. Like it. I'll take the desktop model, please.

 

[Joe Bloggs]

How long's the battery going to last? One hour?

 

[BenG]

If I were Arab, I wouldn't want to walk into a airport with that

 

[Nick Dangerous]

Good observation. You'd get stopped and searched within four seconds.

 

[timoteus]

Yeah, especially if it had a countdown function.

 

[Magicthyse]

I am definitely the kind of guy who would go into an airport with one of them things, using "Plutonium-brand" batteries...

 

[Mystyler]

What the??
I want one!
And yes, I'd love to walk into an airport with one of those, heh heh heh!

BTW, "Krusty Brand", are you for real??

That's when you don't actually need to catch a flight, I presume?

On closer inspection the image of the Krusty Brand appears extra pixelated...

 

[shivohum]

I wonder how much better it would sound with some NOS tubes in it... Hirsch??

 

[bootman]

Can we mod it to also serve as a portable amp?

 

[grinch]

that has got to be one of the most dumb things i have ever seen. i'll stick with my watch thank you..

but i agree with nick on the desktop version. that'd be freaking cool! how about an alarm clock with a built in cd-player that wakes you with tube amplified music.

edit:

very neat looking, the atomic radio version is even better.

i also love how the watch kit costs $50 but the assembled watch costs $500.. must be really tough to put together or something..
