interesting facts:
the ‘clock that runs on air’ uses the ‘breathing movements’ of a gas-filled bellows, caused by temperature fluctuations, to wind the movement.
the clock’s movement is characterised by its cylindrical casing on the reverse. Inside this, within a bellows-shaped expansion chamber, is chloroethyl, a gas that expands particularly significantly between 10 °c and 27 °c.
for the clock to keep accurate time, it must be placed in a stable, vibration-free position.
