The Philips and ITT ZM10xx tubes were available 10 years ago, before the
industry sprang up; they are getting as hard to find as teeth in hens these days.
I'm still making nixie watches with B5870 tubes, as I have managed to secure a
bunch of these tubes. They do not look good in clocks, as they are too narrow,
being designed for calculators with a dozen or more digits.
I'm interested to learn if anyone is making clocks these days using anything
other than Russian tubes.

A clock is only as good as the tubes it uses. Although I dont use 'ZM'
tubes, I've seen several people in this group say good things about them so
I would start searching for a clock that uses those tubes.
I have not seen any clocks for sale that use Burroughs 5092 tubes; if you
find one you should consider it as well because those are very reliable
tubes.
