Jeff Bezos - the richest billionaire in the world.
This watch comes from Danny Hillis, who came up with the idea of a 10,000-year clock in 1995 as a way to think about the distant future of mankind and the planet. The idea developed into 'Clock of the Long Now' , the Long Now Foundation project - an organization Hillis co-founded to create a truly capable watch 10,000 years.
Hillis has built a number of samples of this watch, but Bezos's watch will be the first to have a real size and work perfectly. The Long Now Foundation team spent several years producing watch parts and hollowing out mountains to contain them. Now, Bezos announced that they had begun installing clock parts.
Once completed, this 152-meter watch will be open to visitors. They will be able to see the whole clock, even though the trip to the installation site is not easy. The nearest airport is a few hundred kilometers away, and you will have to climb to 600 meters to see it.
