158 1 The Bombe Bad Dog Designs Nixie Clocks Ltd, creators of imaginative and bespoke timepieces that use Nixie tubes to indicate the time. A long forgotten 1950’s technology comprising a glass tube containing neon gas and the digits from 0 – 9 stacked up inside. The forerunner of today’s modern LED and LCD displays. Award winning designs from modern contemporary, through to vintage and Steampunk. Each clock is hand- made in the workshops in the heart of Staffordshire, everything from large statement pieces to provoke conversation, down to exquisite little designs you want to keep and treasure. The clock pictured is the ‘Bombe’ a functioning 1:1 remake of the machine at Bletchley Park, used during WWII to help British cryp- tographers decode the German enigma machine messages. A large imposing clock that will create the centrepiece of any space that it is placed in.
