About the Item

Atmos Clock with Square Dial in Full-Set Switzerland Gold-plated brass Year of manufacture 1963 Dimensions: H x W x D: 23 x 21 x 16 cm Description: Atmos VI in matt brushed and gold-plated housing with polished stands. Rotating pendulum with vertical milled stripes. White, square dial with gold numerals 3, 6, 9, 12 and indices for the remaining hours. The gold hands are blackened towards the front in a soft colour gradient to make the time easier to read. This version was built under the model number Atmos VI in the same size as the Atmos II and Atmos III. The clock is fitted with a calibre 528 movement and the calibre number can be clearly seen below the ruby bearing in the detailed photo, which shows the engraving below the hands. Serial number: 158883 Year of manufacture: 1963 The original shipping box - the so-called "tabernacle" - has been preserved and is part of the scope of delivery. Also present are the original instruction manual and the guarantee documents from Uhren Christ in Frankfurt from 1963. Clocks of this age are extremely rare to find in this complete condition. Condition: The clock runs absolutely reliably and accurately. Authentic and very nice condition for its age. The photos are not "embellished", the case condition is as shown in the photos. Worth knowing: The "clock that lives on air" uses the "breathing movements" of a gas-filled bellows caused by temperature fluctuations to wind the movement. The movement of the clock is characterised by its cylindrical box on the back. It contains a bellows-shaped expansion chamber filled with chloroethyl, a gas that expands particularly strongly between 10 °C and 27 °C. The condition for the accuracy of the clock is a stable and vibration-free installation. [Source: Jean Lebet - Living on Air / Jürgen Abeler - Ullstein Uhrenbuch] Worldwide shipping possible.

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.

The best-known timepiece in the company's modern collection is the Master Control watch, unveiled in 1992. It symbolizes a return to the thin style and performance-first ethic of classic Jaeger-LeCoultre. In 2018, the watchmaker also launched the Polaris collection. Inspired by the original Memovox, the series features a sporty, elegant and contemporary look.
