Jaeger-LeCoultre Atmos Mantle Clock - With Bracket
Jaeger-LeCoultre, 1970s
** SOLD PIECE **
Swiss Jaeger-LeCoultre Gold Plated 'Classique' Atmos Clock. The torsion pendulum clock powered by changes in atmospheric pressure and temperature. The Atmos clock was invented by Jean-Leon Reutter in the late 1920's. The design for the movement is extremely innovative, with slight changes in atmospheric pressure winding it for days. After a chance encounter between Reutter and managers of the LeCoultre Watch Co, they agreed to buy the patent. The Jaeger-LeCoultre Atmos has been a source of pride for the company, which still produces it to this day. It is the closest that mankind has come to making a perpetual motion machine, a great timepiece and a conversation piece that any serious watch collector would love to display in the home.
