New Marc Newson Atmos 568

Managed to view closely the new Atmos 568 designed by Marc Newson, the entire case is made by crystal, superb nice and elegant compared with the current production Atmos (those also used the same movement with perpetual month but more classic display of Moonphase) and also his previous designed, Atmos 561.

Although this non-limited edition one I just viewed is a prototype, it is very well made as great as the production I believe. As the case is made by crystal, it is very heavy, it weights almost 20lbs.

One interesting design feature of this new Atmos is that the horizon balance indicator is typically placed at the bottom of the case, but they place it on the top of the case for this new Atmos instead.

If I would get one Atmos, this one will be top pick of my list.

Btw, thanks for Singapore ION JLC boutique colleagues for arranging the viewing, appreciate it.

A tad more conventional than the former editions. I think I prefer this one...

Which convinced me when I saw it, a few months ago. Yes, if I had to get one Atmos Newson, it would be this one. Best, and thanks for these live pictures, my friend. Nicolas

Love it! [nt]

Marc is one of the foremost industrial designers ever.

I don't think he has any bounds. This clock, the Ikepod watch, furniture and even one of spacecraft interiors for Mars. He also holds the highest auction price for a piece at auction For a living designer. Find the Lockheed chair. I hope you are blown awa...
