Reminded me of the ferrofluid clock by Zelf Koelman (https://www.dezeen.com/2015/08/26/zelf-koelman-ferrolic-cloc...)

Though of course the mechanism is very different here.

> The Ferrolic is currently still in development, although the designer intends to make small batches available for pre-order, with each clock costing $8,300 (£5,300).

I fell in love and needed one right until I saw the pricetag. Beautiful clock though - thank you for sharing :)

The designer's personal site, and the clock site are both now gone, so I am assuming he never got to production stages... still an amazing idea, and an inspiration for anyone that would like to try building one on their own...
