items you buy, and others you assemble before you adopt them. This \u003cstrong\u003eNixie-effect clock\u003c\/strong\u003e belongs to the second family: you receive a \u003cstrong\u003esolid wood base\u003c\/strong\u003e and \u003cstrong\u003esix transparent tubes\u003c\/strong\u003e to install yourself—it only takes a few minutes, and a small screwdriver is included. Once plugged in, each tube lights up with a digit suspended in the transparency, initially in a \u003cstrong\u003ewarm orange\u003c\/strong\u003e reminiscent of 1960s gas displays, then, if you wish, in a \u003cstrong\u003emulticolored RGB\u003c\/strong\u003e palette. Three functions share the display: \u003cstrong\u003etime, date, and a timer\u003c\/strong\u003e. A \u003cstrong\u003ereal-time clock (RTC) chip\u003c\/strong\u003e ensures precise timekeeping.
