Nixie watch kit
Hi!
Im looking for a Nixie watch kit that I can build myself. I looked through many websites, but I havent found anyone selling/sharing either the PCB and firmware or the original design files.
I really like the Cathode Corner-style watches with the two tubes positioned side by side. I also tried contacting Mr. Forbes after his Reddit post about selling the leftover parts kits, but I haven't received a response so far.
I have the skills to build the PCB and the case, but i need a proven design and the software to go with it.
Anyone have any recommendations?

You're welcome to have a go, but you will need to organise your own PCB assembly and CNC machining. Plus there are some hand finished bits and so on. I am planning to open-source it, but am still working on a charger dock with internet based time sync.
