Bad Dog Designs

The Bad Dog Designs workshop is located in the heart of Staffordshire where we aim to create unique and individual clocks from original vintage Nixie tubes.
Nixie tubes were once popular in the 1950’s and 1960’s and used in many electronic gadgets of the time, from petrol pumps to military equipment. Long since out of production, each clock is made from salvaged tubes or from uncovered old stock lost in warehouses. The tubes have a distinctive orange glow and real depth of movement as each digit is stacked behind other within the tube.
Every clock is handmade, more a piece of art than a timepiece – by their very nature they are individually constructed from recycled equipment, or original vintage items. Inside however, the latest microprocessor technology is used to drive these long forgotten tubes.
