Experience the Unique Fusion of Soviet-era Nixie Tube Charm with Modern Design – A Timepiece That's More Than Just a Watch.
Our world is saturated with modern digital devices that often lack uniqueness and character. The BTF (Back To Future) Nixie Watch arises as a beacon of uniqueness in a sea of uniformity. With its stunning design, inspired by the 70s Soviet IN16 Nixie tubes, this watch stands apart in both aesthetics and functionality.
REDISCOVER TIME WITH THE BTF NIXIE WATCHA FUSION OF RETRO AND FUTURISTIC STYLE
Aesthetic Appeal
The Nixie tube's distinctive orange glow, with its retro yet futuristic look, has become a beloved aesthetic. It evokes nostalgia for a bygone era of technology and has a charm that modern digital displays can't replicate.
Scarcity and Revival
Since Nixie tubes were phased out in favor of more efficient and compact display technologies like LEDs and LCDs, original Nixie tubes have become scarce and collectible.
Incorporating authentic IN16 Nixie tubes into modern devices like the BTF Nixie Watch not only preserves a piece of technological history but also offers a unique, eye-catching design that stands out in today's digital world.
DESIGN PHILOSOPHY
At the heart of the BTF Nixie Watch lies the use of genuine Soviet-era IN16 Nixie tubes. These neon-filled glass electronic tubes, not only hark back to an era of innovation and discovery but also offer a warm, nostalgic glow that digital displays simply can’t replicate. The design deliberately showcases these tubes, with a sleek and stylish form that is sure to turn heads.
While the aesthetics lean heavily on vintage elements, the engineering of the watch is thoroughly modern. We've integrated these vintage tubes with contemporary watch technology to ensure reliability, durability, and functionality. This blend of old and new embodies our belief that innovation can be achieved by looking back as well as forward.
Lift to Activate
It is all about ease of use. When you lift your wrist to a viewing position, the watch automatically activates the Nixie tube display. This gesture-based activation eliminates the need for button presses to check the time, offering a seamless and natural user experience. And by activating the display only when needed, it significantly conserves battery life.
Wireless Charge
Recognizing the importance of a complete and satisfying user experience, each BTF Nixie Watch package includes a specially designed wireless charger. This charger is tailored to complement the watch's aesthetic and ensure optimal charging performance.
It is also compatible with any Qi-compatible wireless charger. You can charge your BTF Nixie Watch using any Qi-certified charging pad, ensuring ease of use and convenience, whether at home, in the office, or on the go.
Timer Function
The BTF Nixie Watch features a timer function, seamlessly blending the nostalgic charm of Nixie tubes with practical, modern utility.
Activating the timer is simple and intuitive. A quick double-tap on the lower button of the watch activates the timer preparation mode. This intuitive action sets the stage for precise timing, ensuring that you're ready to start measuring with just a simple gesture.
To begin timing, a single tap on the same button is all it takes. The timer starts from 0 and counts up, providing accurate measurement for up to 99 seconds. This feature is perfect for those moments when every second counts, from tracking your fitness intervals to timing your daily tasks.
Sustainability in Design
In an age where sustainability is key, our design philosophy also encompasses the reuse and repurposing of historical components. By giving these Nixie tubes a new life, we are reducing waste and promoting a form of sustainable luxury.
Each BTF Nixie Watch is a testament to bespoke craftsmanship. From the careful selection and testing of each Nixie tube to the meticulous assembly of the watch components, every step is done with precision and care. This dedication to craftsmanship ensures that each piece is not only functional but also a work of art.
12/24 Hour Format Selection
Recognizing that time format preference can vary widely among users, the watch provides the option to easily switch between the 12-hour and 24-hour formats.
Its ergonomic design ensures comfort, while the interface between the vintage tubes and modern components is seamless, providing an intuitive user experience. We believe that technology should be accessible and enjoyable, and this is reflected in the watch's design.
Sapphire Surface
The BTF Nixie Watch's face is adorned with a sapphire surface, adding elegance and durability to its design. Sapphire glass is known for its remarkable hardness and scratch resistance, second only to diamonds. This ensures that the watch face remains clear and unblemished over time, even under rough usage.
Furthermore, the clarity of sapphire glass enhances the visibility of the Nixie tubes' display. Its high transparency ensures that the unique glow of the tubes is displayed in full brilliance, providing an unobstructed and vibrant view of the time.
