The result is the <strong>H1<\/strong>, the first and only timepiece ever to visualize time via a capillary tube 11 cm long and 1 mm thick, inside which two immiscible fluids press against each other.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"color: #000000;\">The far ends of these capillary tubes are connected to two small reservoirs shaped like bellows, inside which two fluids are stored, and whose far ends are operated by pistons with a mechanical movement: when a reservoir is compressing the other one is expanding and vice versa. <\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"color: #000000;\">The latter happens, for instance, when it is 06.00 or 18.00: the capillary tubes are not a closed loop, hence the oil stored in the right reservoir starts to move and pushes the colored fluid counter-clockwise, which fills in the other reservoir, that expands.
