I recently made a clock with similar displays from IEE. I'm worried about filament stress, so I dont run the seconds for more than a minute at-a-time. I also have pre-heating , cool-down, and current-limiting so that the filaments never get a current-surge at turn-on. Time will tell if they last a long time.
