J.,

There is an entire cottage industry for making nixie tube clocks. 
These devices are beautiful to look at and they complement any decor.

There's a Yahoo group called NeoNixie that discusses them. Two 
members of this group that sell clocks and kits (and have impressed 
me with their technical skill) are:

http://www.chronotronix.com/
http://www.tayloredge.com/

And there are many more out there.

I'm not selling nixie clocks myself any more, though.
