This is full source code + datasheet + all what you need to build your own nixie watch.
This is new revision of model prototype_a. Now it is archiewed version.
This watch was build for my friend. Casing - brass, bracelett -leather.
If someone need inspiration or small worklog - write in coments, or check my instagram/FaceBook page.
Previous prototype_a alpha on instructables that use Transformer as power source https://www.instructables.com/id/Nixie-Watch-Proto... on this project source was lost due hdd milfunction
