Jodrell grandfather Nixie clock
Jodrell is a collaborative piece designed with Paul Parry of Bad Dog Designs. It is a contemporary take on the traditional grandfather clock.
The clock uses four IN-12 Nixie tubes set in a circular brass plate. It has a switchable back light which bounces reflected light from the dish, when this back light is turned off it is replaced by a rotating glow that indicates the passing seconds.

This floor standing Nixie clock is named ‘Jodrell’ as a nod to the British scientific observatory at Jodrell Bank. This is because it has the appearance of something that is waiting patiently for incoming extraterrestrial communications.

“Purchased the first ever Jodrell Grandfather Nixie clock from Dan about 5 months back now.
Product - Stands perfectly in relation to other award winning modern furniture that surrounds the Jodrell. The Nixie dials are beautiful and never skip a second.
It’s when the lights go down and darkness sets in the Jodrell breathes it’s second phase, illuminated with oranges, blues and a dash of green the dish sets alight.
Service - Dan’s service was five star, communication was as friendly as could be and he really understood what was trying to be achieved with purchasing the piece. Dan went to the trouble of designing an additional base, taking the whole clock apart and cleaning everything prior to installation.
I will one day pass this down, very glad I made the step and made this purchase.”
