Nixie Machine

MB&F is known for its intricate timepieces, so it's no surprise that when it came time to design a standalone clock for its Mechanical Art Device Gallery stores, they didn't hold back. The Nixie Machine is the creation of German artist Frank Buchwald, and uses six original Z568M Nixie tubes made by East German company RFT in the '60s to display the time. Set in three pairs, the tubes represent hours, minutes, and seconds, or day, month, and year, and are housed in a steel and brass structure comprised of roughly 350 components, including GPS and DCF77 receivers that allow it to set the time and date automatically. Limited to just 12 pieces worldwide.

Teenage Engineering x Cheap Monday Pocket Operator

Synthesizers used to be big. Very big. The Teenage Engineering x Cheap Monday Pocket Operator is a synthesizer, but it isn't big. In fact, it's small enough to fit in your pocket, yet still offers a host of analog controls, high-quality components like a Silabs EFM 32 gecko CPU, Cirrus logic DAC, and Knowles speaker, and features like an LCD with animated graphics, real synthesizer engines, punch-in effects, 3.5mm input and output, and a folding wire stand. Available in three models: Rhythm, a drum machine, Sub, a bass line maker, and Factory, a melody synthesizer.

Hitting store shelves in the not-far-off future.

Moog System 55 Synthesizer

Moog's early synthesizers weren't just electronic novelties — they had a profound effect on the music industry, one that's still apparent today. Now you can recapture some of that early sound with the Moog System 55 Synthesizer. A faithful recreation of the 1973 model hand-built using the original documentation, this analog instrument features 36 different modules, each of which is hand-stuffed, hand-soldered, and finished with a photo-etched aluminum panel. They arrive housed in two hand-finished solid walnut cabinets paired with a 960 Sequential Controller, and if you want one, you'd best get your order in now, as only 55 are being made.

Ampy Energy Capturing Device

Lots of people carry around a battery for charging their gadgets. But just like those gadgets, the battery eventually needs to be plugged in to charge. Unless, that is, you're carrying an Ampy Energy Capturing Device. Sporting a 1000 mAh battery, the Ampy offers enough juice to get you through the day, but instead of drawing power from the wall, it charges using the kinetic energy you create just by moving — so whether you're out for a run or just hoofing it up the stairs to your office, you're creating power that you can use to charge your gadgets.

Jack Wireless Guitar Streamer

Grab a pair of them and stream audio from your guitar or other instrument to your amp or sound board, or download the Jack app to your computer, tablet, or phone, and stream directly onto your device for use in your favorite audio apps. So long, stage snake.

Zolt Charger

Your devices are only useful if they are charged, and we all know how vital keeping them at optimum power levels can be.

And with their Efficient Resonant Control technology, the Zolt analyzes each charging device and prioritizes an optimal charge for each one. Small, productive, and smart enough to keep your devices powered up and ready to use.

Mother Smart Sensor System

A sensor for this, a sensor for that — it's obvious that we're going to have a lot of sensors in our lives from now on. Instead of trying to wrangle a bunch of single-purpose gadgets, let the Mother Smart Sensor System take care of things. This system includes an Internet-connected "Mother" base station and a set of four sensors that can be used in a variety of ways: they can sense movement, letting you know when something has been moved, as well as temperature and proximity — since they signal their presence to the Mother, you'll know when they're coming or going. Stick them on whatever you want, set them to sense what you want, add more of them as you need them, and let the Mother keep track.

Zeiss VR One Headset

When it comes to creating a great virtual reality experience, there are few things more important than what your eyes see. So it only makes sense that a company with a history of great optics would make a great solution. The Zeiss VR One Headset blends wide-ranging device support with the company's precision lenses to create an immersive experience. Thanks to a slide-out tray, it can support most smartphones with display sizes between 4.7 and 5.2 inches, and offers a see-through front shield for augmented reality apps, ports to allow access to the device's headphone and charging jacks, ventilation openings for increased airflow, and, for the bespectacled among us, support for wearing your eyeglasses while you're using it.

Carbon Flyer Video Drone

It may sport airplane-like looks, but don't be deceived — the Carbon Flyer Video Drone is in many ways just as capable as its quad-propellered brethren. The airframe is built from carbon fiber, and assembled with carbon nanotube-enhanced epoxy for bonds that are stronger than steel welds. Features include dual high-power motors, an onboard camera for video recording, a protective nose cone and side casings, and hot-swappable, rechargeable lithium ion batteries. And thanks to Bluetooth 4.0, you get a 240-foot operating range, as well as an intelligent app that allows for one-handed control.

Keewifi Router

We all know that Wi-Fi passwords can be a royal pain. While necessary to keep unwanted devices from snooping around your network or siphoning off precious bandwidth, they also create a barrier for guests. The Keewifi Router solves these problems by choosing to not use passwords at all. Instead, it uses proximity technology to make secure connections to devices. You simply hold your device close the syncing panel and it securely authenticates in seconds, and thanks to 802.11ac support, you're not sacrificing performance for convenience.

Having a few drinks with friends is nearly always a good time. Trying to get home if you've overindulged, not so much. The Breeze Breathalyzer is here to help. Using an advanced electro-chemical fuel cell sensor, this pocketable gadget delivers law enforcement-grade results to a companion app via Bluetooth LE, letting you know your current BAC and how long it will take you to get sober — or as the app calls it, Back to Zero — and helpfully offering built-in connections to cabs, Uber, local restaurants, and even nearby hotels, so you'll have no shortage of options if you need to get home or kill a little time before hopping back behind the wheel.

Pyro Handheld Fireshooter

You don't need to be a superhero/mutant/sorcerer to shoot fire from your hands. All you need is the Pyro Handheld Fireshooter. This very real, very crazy gadget was designed for illusionists, magicians, and other performers, sits on the underside of your wrists so it can be hidden by a sleeve, is activated by a remote switch you hide away in your opposite hand, and can be fired up to four times without reloading. Needless to say, you're going to want to read the entire instruction manual before you start throwing flames at everything you see.

Moov

Most fitness trackers are designed only to record your activity, measuring your movement throughout the day and maybe even supplying some performance metrics. The Moov can certainly do all that, but it serves as a personal trainer, too. By pairing either one or two of the waterproof 9-axis motion sensors — the number depends on the activity you're doing — with your phone over Bluetooth 4.0, the companion app is able to give you audio and visual instructions while you're working out, serving as a virtual personal trainer, and helping you to maximize your efforts while avoiding injury.

Dremel Idea Builder 3D Printer

Dremel's known for making tools that are great for modifying 3D objects, not for creating them from scratch. Still, the company's bringing the same reliability from their hand tools to the Dremel Idea Builder 3D Printer. Designed to be an easy first step into 3D printing, it features easy-to-use software, a pre-installed extruder for fast initial setup, and a full-color touch screen for object previews. As for specifics, it offers a 100 micron resolution, ten available colors of plant-based filament, and a large, removable build platform that lets you create objects up to 9" x 5.9" x 5.5" in size.

Point Home Security Device

Most modern home security solutions have a couple things in common: Internet connectivity, which is great, and cameras, which are not so great — if you're extra worried about privacy. The Point Home Security Device gives you the benefits of the former without the concerns of the latter. Point requires no wires, as it connects via Wi-Fi, runs on regular replaceable batteries, and features built-in lights and a speaker to communicate at home and an app for when you're away. An array of sensors includes a particle detector to detect smoke and other common home hazards, a thermostat, a humidity sensor to check for water leaks and/or mold, and a microphone to sense things like doors opening or windows breaking. And since all the analysis is done on the device, no audio is ever recorded, or even sent out over the 'net. Just the way we like it.
