Marc Newson has released the Air powered clock- Jaeger LeCoultre's Atmos 561. This is an interesting clock to be noted where the power to run this is generated from a temperture variation of 1-degree Centigrade anywhere between 15-degree Centigrade to 30-degree Centigrade in any given day. A mixture of gas and liquid ethyl chloride in a hermetical sealed capsule compresses and slackens the spiral spring, this inturn constantly winds the mainspring which keeps the clock functioning for full two days without any destruction. Not sure about its cost, but it must be highly expensive one since Newson has made it with Baccarat crystal. The clock's bubble block is fully suspended with the single crystal which is designed to run for many years without human intervention.
