Vintage Jaeger leCoultre Jubilee Atmos Clock In Box Limited Edition - Serviced

A rare limited edition gilt brass Atmos clock dating from 1978, in exceptionally good condition.

Jaeger leCoultre created the JUBILEE model to mark the 50th anniversary of the first Atmos clock by Jean Leon Reutter in 1928.

The "Reutter" design offered as the K2 model in 1931 was revived for a limited edition of 1500 clocks. The caliber 550 movement was specially created for the 50th birthday of the ATMOS. It was given the look of the old Atmos I caliber, but the original mercury mechanism was replaced with the modern movement.

The clock base is numbered on a brass plaque " 978", and the clock is presented in the red leatherette presentation case, in super nice condition, the numbered plaque has been reglued by previous owner.

In full working condition and keeping time, just serviced.

The Atmos clock requires no winding. The mechanism itself deals with transforming minute temperature variations into mechanical energy. The silent operation and the slow oscillation of the pendulum make these clocks very calming to watch. Note that 60 million Atmos movements put together would consume the same level of energy as a 15 watt electric bulb, Amazing!!!

Made in Switzerland.
