Amazon owner Jeff Bezos is bringing a watch worth Rs 350 crore, you will be surprised to know the specialty of the watch.
Amazon owner and billionaire businessman Jeff Bezos is making an amazing watch. He has invested Rs 350 crore ($42 million) for this. Let us tell you that the clock that Bezos is making will last for 10 thousand years and its needle will move from its place only once a year. The 500-foot-tall clock, designed by computer scientist and inventor Danny Hillis, is located inside a mountain in Texas, Fox News reports.
All these features in the watch
The 10,000-year-old clock, with a solar synchronizer, a pendulum, a chime generator and a series of gears and dials, uses the Earth’s thermal cycle to power itself. The clock is engineered to require minimal maintenance, and is powered by sunlight as well as mechanical energy from the people who visit it. It is a fully mechanical watch made from long-lasting materials, including titanium, ceramic, quartz, sapphire and 316 stainless steel.

Sealed for messages about the future
It will mark time with astronomical and calendrical displays and a chime generator that can generate over 3.5 million unique bell chime sequences for each day that goes on the clock for the next 10 thousand years. According to the report, the clock also has five room-sized anniversary chambers, one each for the 1st, 10th, 100th, 1,000th, and 10,000th anniversaries. These chambers are sealed spaces containing artifacts related to time and messages about the future of humanity.
The display dial will also be unique in itself
The first chamber(s) would contain a model of the solar system and the others would be left for future generations. Work on the clock is ongoing, and no completion date has been set. It is currently being built by the Long Now Foundation and is called “The Clock of the Long Now”. The foundation said the ‘monument scale mechanical clock’ is designed to keep accurate time for the next 10 millenniums (thousand years of time), but to save energy, it will not update its display dial until Unless there is a visitor present to provide the required power.
