About the Item

Jaeger-LeCoultre - Plexiglass Switzerland brass gold-plated Year of manufacture 1956 Dimensions: H x W x D: 23,5 x 20,5 x 16 cm White dial with Arabic Numbers. "Horizontally" 3 and 9. Serial number: 92737 Year of construction: 1956. Condition: Excellent condition. Drive faultless and freshly revised. Absolute accuracy. The photos are not "beautified", the case condition is as shown on the photos. On most of the photos the watch is shown without front screen, because of the reflection of the flash while taking the pictures. I took photos on white and black background so that you can better imagine the colour. The base and the crossbars on top of the case are newly gold-plated. Worth knowing: In 1927 the young engineer Jean-Léon Reutter invented the functional principle of the Atmos watch. He used the "breathing movements" of a gas-filled bellows, which occur when the temperature changes, to wind the movement. The Jaeger LeCoultre company used this principle to build the Atmos watch in series production from 1928 onwards. The movement of the watch stands out due to its cylindrical box on the back. Inside it, a bellows-like Expansion chamber contains chloroethyl, a gas that expands particularly strongly between 10 °C and 27 °C. A temperature difference of only one degree Celsius winds the watch for 48 hours. This interesting winding mechanism is complemented by an excellent movement of extreme precision with a heavy torsion pendulum (rotating pendulum). The condition for the accuracy of the clock is a stabile and vibration-free installation. The watch is also extremely environmentally friendly, and despite its unlimited running time, does not require a battery or any other electrical drive. The Atmos has been Switzerland's official state gift to prominent visitors, e.g. politicians from abroad, for decades.
