Affiliate Disclosure

This site contains affiliate and outbound shop links to Amazon, eBay, Etsy (via Rakuten), and other retailers (domestic or foreign). The catalog is for discovery across watches, Nixie clocks, Nixie kits, and tubes. If you click a Buy or Buy from vendor link and make a purchase, I may earn a commission at no extra cost to you — or a given link may simply send you to a non-affiliated shop. I only feature products I believe are worth your time.

Contact the seller — not ChronoLume

ChronoLume does not sell watches, clocks, kits, or tubes and does not take orders, returns, shipping questions, or payment disputes. For any purchase issue you must contact the actual seller on Amazon, eBay, Etsy, or whichever retailer the Buy link opens. We cannot cancel, refund, or change a third-party order.

Disclaimer

Listings are curated for browsing. Prices, stock, condition, and product details can change without notice on the seller’s site. Always verify lume type, authenticity, shipping, and seller reputation on the retailer’s page before you buy. ChronoLume is provided “as is” for informational purposes and is not responsible for third-party transactions, product quality, seller conduct, or any injury or loss from products you purchase or handle. You buy from the seller of your own free will. See our Terms of Service.

Product safety & hazards

Items on ChronoLume (especially Nixie and other glass tubes, kits, and some vintage luminous watches) can contain fragile glass and, in tubes, internal gases or materials that may be harmful if a tube is broken. High voltage and vintage radium lume can also be dangerous. Keep damaged items away from children and pets. ChronoLume does not sell these products and is not responsible for injury, illness, or damage from products you buy from third-party sellers.

Radium & historic radioactive lume. Vintage dial paint may be radioactive and can be dangerous to people and pets if disturbed (sanding, scraping, opening dials, or dust). Use, handle, restore, display, or buy at your own risk. ChronoLume is not responsible for harm, illness, injury, death, or property damage from these products. Prefer the full hazard and liability language in our Terms of Service.

Full terms, hazard notices, and liability limits: Terms of Service.

Kits & DIY builds

DIY Nixie kits linked from ChronoLume are sold by third parties, not by us. They often involve high voltage, soldering, and glass tubes (with the same breakage/gas risks as spare tubes). ChronoLume is not responsible for how you assemble or use a kit. Build at your own risk; keep projects away from children. Full terms: Terms of Service.

Amazon Associates

ChronoLume is a participant in the Amazon Services LLC Associates Program. Our Amazon tracking tag is chronolume-20. As an Amazon Associate we earn from qualifying purchases.

eBay Partner Network

ChronoLume participates in the eBay Partner Network. Our campaign ID (campid) is 5339205237, with customid chronolume where applicable.

Etsy & Rakuten

ChronoLume participates in Etsy affiliate marketing through Rakuten Advertising (Rakuten). When you buy on Etsy through our links, we may earn a commission at no extra cost to you.

Pending affiliate networks

These networks are in progress and are listed for honesty under FTC affiliate-disclosure expectations. ChronoLume is not claiming live commissions from them until tracking is wired and dashboards show an approved site on the live apex:

Admitad / Mitgo (including Watchard, when available) — publisher setup and advertiser approval pending; no live Admitad tracking on Buy links yet.
Propelbon (Iguana Sell) — account login / approval pending; no live Propelbon tracking on Buy links yet.
Meranom (direct affiliate) — login / approval pending; no live Meranom tracking on Buy links yet.

When a pending network goes live, Buy links will carry that network’s tracking and this page will name the IDs the same way we name Amazon tag chronolume-20, eBay campid 5339205237, and Etsy via Rakuten. Until then, a link to those shops is either non-affiliated or may earn only through another already-enabled partner (for example Skimlinks on an allowed domain).

Foreign & third-party shops (all product types)

Buy and Buy from vendor buttons may open other sites — including foreign shops, specialty dealers, and marketplace listings — for watches, Nixie clocks, Nixie kits, and tubes. ChronoLume is not responsible for those sites’ businesses, policies, or order fulfillment. We may or may not be affiliated with a given destination. The catalog is for options and fun discovery, not a ChronoLume checkout.

Prices, currency, tax & shipping

Prices may appear in USD or another currency. Currency conversion, payment, shipping, VAT, sales tax, EU/customs duties, and overseas manufacturer or dealer mistakes are the seller’s problem to resolve with you — not ChronoLume’s. We do not set, collect, or refund those charges.

Optional on-site AI shopkeeper

ChronoLume may offer an optional chat and/or voice “shopkeeper” to help you discover watches, Nixie clocks, kits, and tubes. It is informational only—not a store, retailer customer service, or a source of tax or legal advice. It may translate or explain listings and shops in other languages. Some links are affiliate links and may earn ChronoLume a commission; others are Buy from vendor links that do not currently pay ChronoLume, though an affiliate arrangement may be made later. The bot must not claim that ChronoLume sells goods or earns on every link.

Bot answers can be wrong or incomplete, including translations and information about prices, taxes, shipping, or currency. Verify everything on the seller’s page before relying on it or buying. ChronoLume is not liable for bot mistakes, bad translations, or reliance on bot information. The third-party and foreign-shop disclaimers and liability limits in our Terms of Service still apply.

Other retailers

Some links may use partner tools such as Skimlinks where enabled. Buy vs Buy from vendor labels both leave ChronoLume for a third-party checkout; we may or may not earn a commission. The catalog spans watches, Nixie clocks, kits, and tubes for discovery across retailers — you still buy from the retailer, not from ChronoLume.

Analytics

ChronoLume uses Google Analytics cookies to count visits and clicks on affiliate links.

On-site videos

Some ChronoLume pages link to educational videos. Those play in our black on-site player using YouTube’s official privacy-enhanced embed, so you stay on ChronoLume instead of being sent to YouTube’s full site. YouTube/Google may still process data when you press Play — see their terms and our shop pages’ player note.
