Jaeger Le Coultre
Atmos Plexi v n "Poissons" - "fish" (Marina) Chinese Aquarium Gold plated brass case black plexiglass with gold engravings from the 1960s Details With an Atmos you acquire a beautiful and very sophisticated watch. Excerpt from Wikipedia: In 1928 Jean-Léon Reutter developed the Atmos table clock. This watch draws the mechanical energy to wind the mainspring from the smallest fluctuations in air pressure and temperature. A temperature change of 1 k (according to other data 2 k) is sufficient for an operating time of about 48 hours. The "Atmos" is still manufactured by the Swiss watch company Jaeger-Le Coultre and is the official state gift of Switzerland. The first, now very rare, Atmos clocks with a mercury motor are now highly sought after by collectors. Jaeger-Le Coultre bought this patent at that time and developed it further. In the 1930s, the mercury engine was replaced by the nitrous oxide engine, which is still used today. To learn more about the history and the function of the Atmos, it is recommended to get the book "Living from the air - The history of the pendulum clock Atmos" by Jean Lebet. A popular opinion is that the Atmos watches from the 1940s and 1950s have the best movement qualities, but of course younger Atmos are also very well made and therefore wonderful collector's items. The Atmos is a very robust watch and has a very good accuracy. One of the manufacturer's old slogans even promises over 600 years of maintenance-free operation - which may be difficult to verify. To enjoy the watch for a long time, you should follow a few rules: Only allow watchmakers to work on the watch who know how to do this. Be careful when cleaning the house - Cleaning and detergents have already damaged many watches - Never move the Atmos unsealed do not expose to direct sunlight (e.g. in the window sill) vibration-free location and the scale should be optimally aligned. Dial Enamel white dial with gold plated Arabic numerals, indexes and hands. Housing Gold plated brass case, black plexiglass with gold engravings. The front glass pane can be opened. Dimensions: width 18 cm x height 23 cm x depth 13.5 cm. Factory Mechanical movement automatically wound by variations in atmospheric pressure and temperature; Jaeger Le Coultre Calibre 526-5. Scope of delivery Jaeger Le Coultre Atmos Plexi v n "Poissons" - (Fish) - (Marina) 1 year warranty - Not on waterproofness Our proprietary certificate in which the authenticity is certified An extremely rare rarity, that makes every collector's heart beat faster.

State Over the years, the Plexiglas elements of the clock have aged. This manifests itself in stress cracks and a slight milky haze in the background of the Plexiglas elements (see photos). The surface of the gilding of the brass shows small damages and traces of oxidation in places (see photos). |
