    I’ve seen this before, but I find it endlessly reassuring that I’m not the only one with a nixie clock and atomic clock at home. =)

    When I worked in the NIST Time and Frequency division, I once hooked up a nixie clock that I built to be driven by an output from one of the hydrogen masers in the NIST atomic clock ensemble, which is periodically steered by the cesium fountain standard. Now that was an accurate nixie clock!
