The Jaeager-LeCoultre Atmos 566 clock by Australian designer Marc Newson is a fantastic timepiece that gives an entirely new dimension to time telling.

The Atmos 566 is housed in a Baccarat crystal bubble (shown below in a stunning blue) which surrounds JLC’s new movement, the 566 calibre.

The movement features hour, minute, and month functions as well as equation of time and a sky chart displaying the night sky which is detailed with cardinal points and astrological signs.

The Atmos 566 clock is powered by by minuscule changes in temperature, with this ability this clock may running forever on basically nothing but the air temperature with at least 1 degree (Celsius) changing for every 2 days.

Two limited editions will be available: a series of 48 in Baccarat crystal, and another of just 28 in blue Baccarat crystal.
