Housed in a gilt brass case with a brushed pedestal, its transparent glass panels reveal the mesmerizing movement within — a perpetual ballet of precision visible from every angle. The square dial, adorned with gilded Arabic numerals, baton markers, and elegant smoked tip hands, adds a touch of understated glamour. A rare piece in superb condition that elevates its standing among collectors.

First conceived in 1928, the Atmos (as in atmosphere) revolutionized clockmaking by eliminating the need for winding. Its innovation lies in a sealed capsule containing a mix of gases that expand and contract with minute temperature fluctuations. This exchange powers the mechanism naturally, allowing the clock to run in perpetuity— a poetic fusion of art and science.

A symbol of innovation and elegance, this Jaeger-LeCoultre Atmos Clock perfectly embodies the ingenuity of its era. Elegant, enduring, and effortlessly modern, it stands among the featured highlights of our collection of more than 45 clocks and a wonderful example of a truly timeless design.
