It's time for some retro-futurism once again. In the style of the historical Nixie tube technology from the 1950s, this clock features six glass bulbs for the digital display of hours, minutes, and seconds. Karlsson for Present Time no longer uses Nixie tubes, but instead employs modern LED technology with red illuminated digits. The clock's control electronics are concealed within an elegant solid oak base. Although the clock does not have an alarm function, the red illuminated digits of the digital display are easy on the eyes, making the Cathode table clock from Present Time a perfect fit for retro design in the kitchen, bedroom, or living room.
