these were made for fun in a total of 35 back in 2002.
based on Jeff's Thomas project another nerd Dave Forbes created a modern nixie watch that is available occasionally at his website Cathode Corner.
very limited numbers made. click picture to read more.

I have one of the original 4-tube Nixie wristwatches. My letter says that only 20 of them were assembled, so the rest of them were sold as "kits". I bought a fully assembled one, and it is awesome !!! (Ser # 022)
Also included with my Nixie Watch is a letter from the designer, freebatteries, a tool to open the case, a circuit board (ready to be populated) and a schematic diagram of the watch from Resonant Instruments LLC !!
I let a few component and fabrication CNC machining issues slow me up, and then months passed. This is one that has to be completed before spring. I can't screw off any longer.
I am sure it will be worth the wait
What year do the B4998 tubes date from? I had a trawl on the net which suggests 1969?
I came across a link to an old eBay auction for 9 of these tubes whilst browsing, sold November 2010, wished I'd of seen them before the end of the listing.
