Atmospheric clocks are very interesting, there were quite a few made in the 40's and 50's buy the high end makers (such as Jaeger Lecoultre).

Quite an intriguing contraption.

Philosophy, discovery, art, every sort of skill, every sort of service, love; these are the means of salvation from that narrow loneliness of desire, that brooding preoccupation with self and egotistical relationships, which is hell for the individual, treason to the race, and exile from God.[Wells]
