Love Dalibor's work. I have the Puri clock, and it is a real statement piece that wows people. I didn't get it for that, I just got it half because I loved the aesthetic and half I wanted to support someone doing something that unique (one of those things I would personally like to do in a life after software).

On the plus side, Dalibor himself has been extremely helpful in answering questions and resolving minor issues with the clock (both software issues, both quickly resolved).

It is undoubtedly a hard to justify luxury item, but if on the fence you should buy it. It is more impressive in person than I imagined.

Has anybody seen Steve Wozniak's nixie tube wristwatch?

(Googling it, I discovered Nixie tube watches are "a thing" and you can buy them)

Not only they are gorgeous, you support Ukraine at the same time...

I saw that maybe a decade ago? It's amazing. There are some really pretty ones one etsy.

The hand made ones are also instant heirlooms, particularly if their batteries are easily replaced.
