Title: Interesting clocks
Post by: jazzyvee on November 07, 2017, 01:43:51 PM: I recently went to a Grand designs exhibition and came across these clocks made by Bad Dog Designs. They look great and if I could afford one I'd get one certainly. I know there are some amongst us here who love old valve style technology so you might enjoy these. (Disclaimer I have no connection with the company)

I haven't seen any in person since the early 70s and even then, they were just hanging out in a piece of unused lab gear (probably scavenged from MIT).
