US$85,000 Liquid Vacuum Clock

This hand-made Liquid Time Clock retails at a whopping US$85,000, and that’s just for the 7ft. model. While the 35ft model will set you back US$495,000. This is how the clock works:

A vacuum system propels liquid to the top resevoir every 12 hours, and from there, liquid naturally drives a pendulum that keeps the clock pumping. As spheres fill, they denote the hours (left) and minutes (right).
