Insights
Each glass tube is a Nixie bulb with its anodes arranged in a metal grid and its cathodes forming numerals.
For each unit displayed from 0 to 9, a 0.1 mm-thick steel cathode is designed. Each bulb is composed of 88 parts.
When the current is switched on, a warm orange glow features hundredths of a second ticking away. The display can change a stunning 500 times per second.

"Scientific instruments such as telescopes and microscopes, as well as clock, were traditionally made in bronze. The SpaceTime Blade draws its inspiration from such instruments, while incorporating aesthetic codes from the world of science-fiction."
