About the Item

Jaeger LeCoultre - Atmos Jubilé Switzerland Gold-plated brass Year of manufacture 1979 Dimensions: H x W x D: 24 x 17 x 15 cm Description: Very rare Atmos clock, which was produced in a limited series of only 1500 pieces. In honour of the fiftieth anniversary of the creation of the first Atmos pendulum clock by Jean-Leon Reutter in 1929, the model called "Jubilé" was introduced in 1979 and offered in the catalogues under Ref. No. 5861. Each Atmos Jubilé was given its own number, which was engraved on a small plaque. The clock offered here bears the number 1407 (of 1500). The design was inspired by the Atmos K2 from 1931 and is characterised by the heavy screws on the outside of the rotating pendulum and the full dial. The hands without visible counterweights are also striking. Calibre 550 was created especially for this clock. The movement was given the appearance of the old ATMOS I calibre, but the mercury motor used at the time was replaced by the modern chloroethyl motor still in use today. The five-sided glazed case provides a clear view of the clean movement. The blued screws contrast beautifully with the golden metal. The glass of the front door bears the original "Jaeger LeCoultre" imprint. The original accompanying brochure with lots of interesting information about Atmos clocks in general and the Jubilé in particular is included. Interesting facts: The movement of the clock stands out with its cylindrical case on the back. It contains the saturated gas chloroethyl in a bellows-shaped expansion chamber. Under fixed pressure conditions, the ratio between liquid and gas changes significantly under the influence of temperature fluctuations, and consequently the pressure in the expansion chamber also changes. A temperature change of 1°C displaces the base of the bellows by approximately one millimetre, thereby exerting pressure on a spring in the bellows. The chain mounted on the spring transmits the force to the movement and thus supplies the energy for approx. 48 hours of running time. Condition: Very well-preserved case with minimal signs of age and wear. The movement is in impeccable condition, it runs absolutely reliably and accurately. The Atmos Jubilé is illustrated in the reference book: Jean Lebet - Living on Air p.71

Jaeger-LeCoultre

The exquisite art of watchmaking is on display in the distinctive designs of Jaeger-LeCoultre. The Swiss manufacturer is celebrated for its striking Art Deco–era antique clocks, while its range of sumptuous luxury watches spans the gamut of modern design, each one a time capsule of its period.

Jaeger-LeCoultre was established in 1833 by watchmaker Antoine LeCoultre in the Vallée de Joux of the Swiss mountains. LeCoultre was also an inventor who, in 1844, created the millionomètre. As the first instrument to measure thousandths of a millimeter with total accuracy, it refined the meticulous watchmaking process. By 1866, LeCoultre's son, Elie LeCoultre, took over the business. He revolutionized watchmaking by bringing all 180 skills involved in the trade into one workshop: LeCoultre & Cie Manufacture.

By 1903, the company had passed to Antoine LeCoultre's grandson, Jacques-David LeCoultre. He created a signature line of ultra-thin watches in partnership with Edmond Jaeger, a French watchmaker who specialized in flat watch cases. In 1907, Louis Cartier signed a contract with Jaeger so that Cartier would have movements for its popular timepieces produced exclusively at LeCoultre in Switzerland. This era saw the debut of Cartier’s Santos as well as its Tank watch.

Watchmakers at Jaeger-LeCoultre began to experiment with the Art Deco style that had encompassed the 1920s and the 1930s. At the time, there were many influences that led to the creation of Art Deco jewelry, while the cases of Art Deco clocks featured architectural details and saw an integration of materials such as brass, glass and marble. Iconic Jaeger-LeCoultre designs from this era include the 1928 Atmos clock and the Reverso watch. Stylish and practical, the coveted Reverso watch features a case that you can flip to protect the watch face.

During the 1950s and '60s, Jaeger-LeCoultre watchmakers continued the manufacturer’s tradition of prioritizing practical reliability. In 1958, the company introduced the robust and durable Geophysic watch collection. The Memovox Polaris, an alarm-equipped dive watch one could wear underwater, followed in 1968.
