1974 Atmos Clock, Jaeger LeCoultre

About the Item

Atmos Classique by Jaeger LeCoultre, built 1974 Switzerland Brass Year of manufacture 1974 Dimensions: H x W x D: 22 x 18 x 13,5 cm Description: Atmos V caliber 526 in gold plated brass case. Classic white dial ring with Arabic numerals. Serial number: 422301 Year of manufacture: 1974 Condition: Flawless movement condition. Absolute accuracy. Very nice case condition. Fun Facts: In 1927, the young engineer Jean-Léon Reutter presented the prototype of the Atmos watch he had developed. The response in the press was great and so he signed a contract with the Compagnie générale de radiologie, which built and distributed the "Atmos I" under Reutter's direction from 1930. Since there were always problems with the watches, the movements were manufactured by Le Coultre et Cie in Switzerland from 1933 and in 1935 the production rights of the Atmos watch were transferred to Ets. Ed. Jaeger. They focused on developing a simpler and more robust engine and from 1938 the era of the Atmos by Jaeger-LeCoultre began. The "watch that lives on air" uses the "breathing movements" of a gas-filled bellows created by temperature fluctuations to wind the movement. The movement of the watch is conspicuous by its cylindrical box on the back. Inside it, a bellows-shaped expansion chamber contains chloroethyl, a gas that expands particularly strongly between 10 °C and 27 °C. The movement is then wound up. A temperature difference of just one degree Celsius winds the watch for 48 hours. This interesting winding mechanism is complemented by an excellent movement of extreme precision with a heavy torsion pendulum. [Source: Jean Lebet - Living on Air / Jürgen Abeler - Ullstein Uhrenbuch] Interesting facts about the ATMOS from Jaeger LeCoultre can be found in the technical literature: Jürgen Abeler - Ullstein Uhrenbuch p. 173 Jean Lebet - Living on Air.

Jaeger Lecoultre, Atmos Clock from 1967 with Original Box

Located in Greven, DE

Jaeger LeCoultre Atmos clock Switzerland Brass gold plated Year of manufacture 1967 Dimensions: H x W x D: 22 x 17 x 11 cm Description: Atmos VII in gold-plated brass case with black lacquered sides and matt gold brushed dial. Instead of numbers, we see two double lines for 3, 6, 9 and 12 and single lines for the remaining hours. There is a raised logo below the 12, and the words "JAEGER LECOULTRE" and "ATMOS" above and below the hands. A stamped "Swiss Made" logo is located above the dragonfly. Serial number: 252201, year of manufacture 1967. This clock is based on the calibre 528/1 movement and was listed by Jaeger LeCoultre under ref. number 5900. The model was only built from 1967-1970 and is rare to find in the trade today due to its small number of pieces. The original transport box, the so-called "tabernacle", makes this clock doubly interesting. Instead of the usually used levelling screws, which are operated from inside the case, the Atmos VII has a wheel each on the left and right outside of the base for levelling. Condition: The movement runs absolutely reliable and accurate. The condition of the case is also very nice. The gilding is well preserved. There are minimal traces of cleaning on the dial, barely visible to the naked eye. There are also some rusted screws on the underside of the clock, which is not visible in use. The photos are not "embellished", the case condition is as shown in the photos. Points to know: Although Leonardo da Vinci was already able to prove that the production of a perpetual motion machine is physically impossible, it has been tried again...
