Would like a perpetual movement with a rotor/hammer actioned by a permanent magnetic repulsion system: Due to similar poles facing each-others. The rest of the movement would be isolated under a special cage to stay uninfluenced by the magnetism.
Due to the strong magnetism of this system, the cage would have to be thick, pushing up the watch-case thickness...But it should be possible in reasonable size if the cage's material is a good isolator.
Of course, the rotor would turn permanently and a usual clutch system would avoid over-winding of the mechanism.
It could be stopped by simply reversing one of the permanent-magnets with a crown, changing it's pole and have it to attract the rotor instead of repulsing it.
Still a big engineering adventure...
