A new Atmos, the Pavillon

Sep 12, 2008,10:55 AM
 


Here are some pics I took today of this Atmos we quickly saw at the SIHH fair, last April...

Designed in the Bauhaus spirit, with its cabinet made of Carbon, Aluminium, and Crystal, this Atmos provides the Hour, Minutes, Months, and Moonphase.

This model is only available at the JLC Boutiques.

The dissymetry of the whole clock is nicely made, IMO, and contributes to its charm.

What to say about this Moon Phase, just lovely!

This Year, JLC offered, as Jerome said, several very tempting new Atmos: The M. NEWSON, The Astronomique, and the Marqueterie...

The blend of material as Carbon Fibers, the aluminium, and the Crystal is awesome, and gives a nice light play and relief, too.

I like it a lot!

What do you think?

Best.

I think that this particular Atmos is awesome, in fact I pretty much like their whole range! However the Pavillon as it is not symetrical throws me off a bit. I keep on getting distracted looking at the right hand side of it. Sean

Thanks, Sean for your input

The Aston Matin Atmos

Hi, Thnak you Nicolas for these nice pics. The Atmos Pavilion seems very much inspired by the Barcelona Pavilion designed by Mies van der Rohe in 1928 for the German's pavilion for the 1929 Barcelona International Exhibition (indeed close to the end of th... 

I like the other Atmos clocks better

Somehow the design of this one doesn't quite work. I love the Newson and Marquetrie though, as well as one ultra-luxury Atmos with mother-of-pearl inlay and gold that JLC made a few years ago that cost a million francs or something. - SJX

Of course, SJX, there are

find them very interesting and i love JLC as a company.. the shape of this one is kind of odd.. but i guess goes along with its "modern" look

To think about, Riley, and first of all

To be seen in the flesh! This is the Odd shape that makes ALL! Thanks for your input, my friend. Nicolas

i think i like the new glass bubble one the best

or the one that is a box that has a hidden button that opens up... regardless atmos is the coolest thing since clocks that run on air...i mean... wait.... sliced bread

thanx

I don't quite understand why the casing is not symmetrical, Nicolas . . .

 
 By: Dr No : September 14th, 2008-14:20
. . . is there a historical reason, or is it just to highlight the use of high-tech materials in a classic design? Curiously, Art

Pure design, Art

NEW ATMOS...

Do not like the assymetic casing at all, which is a shame because the working are quite beautiful. David

The Atmos of the new era.

Wonderful clock. Actualized to the new epoque. Atmos is the essence of the table-clocks.

Hi, PET
