Check out this absolutely stunning Atmos 566 mechanical clock from Swiss time piece makers Jaeager-LeCoultre. The immaculate clear or blue Baccarat crystal chronometer was designed by Australian aircraft designer Marc Newson.

The Atmos 566 has rhodium-plated feet, a cool sky chart, and is powered by small temperature changes so it only seems fitting to call such a distinguished time piece by its proper name: chronometer. The Atmos 566 is about the most stylish timepiece that I’ve ever seen, and although it won’t run forever, it is perpetually cool.
