Imitation, indeed, but they do refer to you: 改良自David Forbes 設計之NIXIE WATCH輝光管手錶。

Pretty expensive too at 26,000元 (over four thousand US dollars).

Amusing.

And if I'm not mistaken, the nixie tube clock listed there is Jonas' from TubeHobby.....

According to Google Translate, that means "Since David Forbes improvement of design NIXIE WATCH glow tube watch.".

So now you know...

It says "Improved from David Forbes' nixie watch design" in English, selling at NT$15,000(about 480 USD) each.....

From what I can see, they improved the amount of metal in the case, and
copied the circuit board 100% identically.

There is a Facebook page, too...

A posting from October indicates some trouble with their transformer.
They could have just purchased the original Würth transformers like I did.

As we say in Blightly, aren't you just even a trifle miffed about this?

They've lifted all your IP, even to putting their name on the boards...

I am more amused than miffed. What am I going to do about it? Get bent
out of shape? I can't stop them... it would cost me about a year's
income to try.

When they show up in Wal-mart for USD200, then I'll be concerned.

Blatant rip off. Interesting, I can't find the David Forbes reference.

 

And so for this watch, you need a tool and have to remove 6 fasteners to set the time or change the battery?

I put a sarky message on his faceache page.

Notwithstanding all that plagiarism, I quite like this watch design of his:

This Facebook page is is now gone, as is a post I made on Facebook
referring to it. Hmm.

The website is still there, though.
