<\/p>\n
<\/a><\/p>\n Herm\u00e8s and Jaeger-LeCoultre have created an\u00a0Atmos clock<\/a>\u00a0with a hand-blown and carved enamel and crystal casing produced by Cristalleries the Saint-Louis, a subsidiary of Herm\u00e8s.<\/p>\n First introduced in 1928 as a\u00a0perpetuum mobile<\/em>, the Atmos differentiates itself from every other mechanical timepiece in that it literally never needs to be wound.<\/p>\n It functions thanks to a mechanism that contracts and expands with the ambient temperature, so that a variation of 1 degree Centigrade is enough to keep it going for 48 hours.<\/p>\n Produced in a limited edition of 176, corresponding to the number of years since Herm\u00e8s was founded, the Atmos Herm\u00e8s clock will retail for 30,000 euros ($39,100).<\/p>\n
