This is lovely, and if anyone wanted to get me one for, oh, pretty much any reason, I'd be happy to display it prominently.
On the other hand, if you gave me the money, I'd be hard-pressed to say this was at the top of my list to spend it on.

$28,000 for this Nixie Tube clock? I'd love to have one, but I can buy a car for that much and get more use out of it.
You’ll Waste Hours Watching the Time Tick By On this Nixie Tube Clock
Though the technology is ludicrously outdated, Nixie tubes have actually remained a popular alternative to LEDs and LCD displays–at least in devices where function follows form. So it’s no surprise that MB&F, known for its over-the-top watches and music boxes, has embraced them on its new Nixie Machine clock that people won’t be staring at just to read the time.
