Quote from Wilkepedia: derives energy from small temperaturechanges and atmospheric pressure changes in the environment, and can run for years without human intervention.

The first Atmos clock was designed by Jean-Léon Reutter, an engineer in Neuchâtel, Switzerland, in 1928.[9] This noncommercial prototype, which predated the Atmos name but is now known unofficially as Atmos 0, was driven by a mercury-in-glass expansion device. The mechanism operated on temperature changes alone. A one degree change in air pressure will wind an Atmos Clck for two days.
