About the Item

Jaeger-LeCoultre – Atmos Royale Switzerland Lacquered brass Year of manufacture: 1977 Dimensions: H x W x D: 27 x 23 x 14 cm Description: Atmos Royale Ref. 5819 in a red-flamed and gold-plated brass case. Glazed front door. Silver circular-grained dial ring with black Roman hour markers. Below the XII is the Jaeger-LeCoultre logo, whilst the word ‘ATMOS’ is printed above the VI. Below the dial ring are the locking lever, the torsion pendulum, the spirit level and the knurled screws for levelling the clock. Serial number: 469605 Year of manufacture: 1977 The first-generation Atmos Royale was fitted with the calibre 526 movement and was available in various colour variants. The clock was available fully gold-plated or rhodium-plated, in lapis lazuli, green, burgundy, black and, indeed, in flamed red. Interesting facts: In 1927, the young engineer Jean-Léon Reutter unveiled the prototype of the Atmos clock he had developed. The response in the press was huge, and so he signed a contract with the Compagnie générale de radiologie, which, under Reutter’s leadership, began manufacturing and distributing the ‘Atmos I’ from 1930 onwards. As there were recurring problems with the clocks, from 1933 onwards the movements were manufactured by Le Coultre et Ciein Switzerland, and in 1935 the production rights for the Atmos clock were transferred to Ets. Ed. Jaeger. Efforts focused on developing a simpler and more robust motor, and from 1938 onwards the era of the Jaeger-LeCoultre Atmos began . The ‘clock that runs on air’ utilises the ‘breathing movements’ of a gas-filled bellows, caused by temperature fluctuations, to wind the movement. The watch’s movement is distinguished by its cylindrical case on the back. Inside this, within a bellows-shaped expansion chamber, is chloroethyl, a gas that expands particularly strongly between 10 °C and 27 °C. A temperature difference of just one degree Celsius winds the clock for 48 hours. This interesting winding mechanism is complemented by an exquisite movement of the utmost precision, featuring a heavy torsion pendulum (rotating pendulum). The clock’s accuracy depends on it being placed in a stable, vibration-free position. [Source: Jean Lebet – Living on Air / Jürgen Abeler – Ullstein Uhrenbuch] Condition: Very fine, authentic case condition with slight signs of cleaning and wear appropriate to its age. The movement runs with absolute accuracy and reliability. Worldwide shipping available!

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.

Located in Greven, DE

Jaeger LeCoultre Atmos clock Switzerland Brass gold plated Year of manufacture 1967 Dimensions: H x W x D: 22 x 17 x 11 cm Description: Atmos VII in gold-plated brass case with black lacquered sides and matt gold brushed dial. Instead of numbers, we see two double lines for 3, 6, 9 and 12 and single lines for the remaining hours. There is a raised logo below the 12, and the words "JAEGER LECOULTRE" and "ATMOS" above and below the hands. A stamped "Swiss Made" logo is located above the dragonfly. Serial number: 252201, year of manufacture 1967. This clock is based on the calibre 528/1 movement and was listed by Jaeger LeCoultre under ref. number 5900. The model was only built from 1967-1970 and is rare to find in the trade today due to its small number of pieces. The original transport box, the so-called "tabernacle", makes this clock doubly interesting. Instead of the usually used levelling screws, which are operated from inside the case, the Atmos VII has a wheel each on the left and right outside of the base for levelling. Condition: The movement runs absolutely reliable and accurate. The condition of the case is also very nice. The gilding is well preserved. There are minimal traces of cleaning on the dial, barely visible to the naked eye. There are also some rusted screws on the underside of the clock, which is not visible in use. The photos are not "embellished", the case condition is as shown in the photos. Points to know: Although Leonardo da Vinci was already able to prove that the production of a perpetual motion machine is physically impossible, it has been tried again...
