Sounds a lot like our home-made nixie clocks. I dont have an accurate time log, but I know it's many hundreds of hours for a new design. And like the watch, you cant just look at it to fully appreciate what went into creating it.
One of my nixie clocks has been on my desk at work for nearly 5 years. I'm in a cube-farm in a large building, where hundreds of EE's work, and have easily seen it, yet very few have inquired or commented about it despite the glass-front case showing the PCB, wiring, and of course, 6 nixies. Maybe people are just too busy these days to appreciate finer works. 4800 hours to make a watch ? That's more than 2 years fulltime work. I dont know how I would put a price on it; I imagine I could give one of my clocks to someone who really appreciated it and feel better about that versus selling one to someone who simply paid money and tossed it out after a few months because they got bored with it. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "neonixie-l" group.
