Hello Frank, I don't know how many clocks will run over 180V but I did read somewhere that some people just take the rectified mains power and use that to drive the nixies. I wouldn't recommend doing that, but apparently some people choose simplicity over safety. Now I don't know in which part of the world those people live, but that are potentially voltages that can go up to over 300V. So that was regarding my remark that it will work for as long as the voltage is not too high.
About the nixie watch, which is off topic in this thread, all I want to say is that it won't be disappointing :-).
