Amanico shares official images of the Jaeger-LeCoultre Atmos Newson 568, complementing his earlier hands-on review from the Manufacture. This post offers a closer look at the design and unique features of this collaboration with Marc Newson, providing valuable context for collectors interested in JLC's contemporary Atmos clocks.
Strangely I posted the pictures I took at the Manufacture before receiving the official ones.
Here is the review I wrote on the Atmos Newson 568.
And here are the pictures I received from the Manufacture.
This picture is interesting as it shows the dial alone made of glass.
I didn't change my mind on this latest Atmos. I prefer it to the former ones. Certainly because I find it... More mature?
Best,
Nicolas
Key Points from the Discussion
- The Atmos Newson 568 is described as 'mature' compared to other Atmos models, though some collectors still prefer the Mies van der Rohe's Pavilion model for its iconic design.
- The transparent/glass design of the Atmos Newson 568 is seen as avant-garde, cool, and eclectic, making it a desirable target for collectors, even if a more conventional moonphase model is also considered.
- The Atmos Newson 568 is praised for being elegant, original, contemporary, and timeless, making it a standout piece in JLC's current collection.
- Despite its appeal, some collectors may not acquire the Newson model if they already own another Atmos clock, as they might only have space for one.
- The price point of the Atmos Newson 568, around fourteen thousand, is acknowledged as a significant investment, placing it on collectors' radars but often after other watch purchases.
