They are really fun clocks to own. I have one in my office and one in my house. (The "Royale" in the right, is in the office.) They aren't really that expensive either, less than 5k.

If you decide to buy one, you'll adore it. A few tips:
1. Make sure the one you buy has an untouched hairspring. And I mean UNTOUCHED. (Picrel) Sadly, over the years people tend to mess around with the clocks and more often that not they damage the spring, either by not fixing the weight before transporting it or by playing with the weight itself.
2. Once you buy it, take it to a watchmaker that knows how to work with them and ask to have the gas capsule refilled.
3. Never buy one new. They're too expensive. Hunt for a used one in pristine condition. There are some around.
4. Find a place near a wall that experiences temperature changes during the day. That's all you'll need.
5. Enjoy it. They are awesome.
