Jaeger Lecoultre Atmos: A clock called Design.

 
 By: amanico : December 11th, 2019-00:10
If you are lucky enough to visit the Jaeger Lecoultre Manufacture, ask your guide to show you the Heritage Gallery. There, you will have a small but impressive " aperçu " of the absolute richness and diversity of the legendary perpetual clock, best known ...  

Great write up Nico! Thanks.

Now my interest is piqued... I truly appreciate your contribution as there’s so much to learn out there in the horological realm.

Lovely report

I still want to add an Atmos one day. Probably a Newson. But then I also love the classic rhodinated with a black dial.

Did you ever add one? [nt]

Which one would you go for? [nt]

Ok. Thank you 🙏

I need to look deeper into it!

Wow! Incredible report. Thank you!!! I love the 568.

I almost pulled the trigger on the newly released Atmos Transparente earlier this year. I will probably add it soon.

Fascinating! [nt]

Modern (or moderne) design is so important...

to each one of these clocks. Thank you for the line-up, Nicolas.

What a fantastic thread...

I’ll take the last one from 1934, looks great!!!

Hermes / JLC Atmos

That Hermes Atmos is very special. The blown glass magnifies the inner workings of the clock. Stunning!

Sooner or later I‘ll pull the trigger.

Maybe the current Transparent or just the Classique?

Keep us posted! [nt]

I have always loved the Atmos.

 
 By: Wristenthusiast : December 11th, 2019-20:31
From an engineering perspective, it is superb in its accomplishment of accuracy and sustained perpetual motion. Having accomplished that, over the years all the different artistic interpretations allow such wonderful expression. It’s on my list. I have on... 

Great to know the history of Atoms

Well, it is nice article to read, which includes wonderful pictures. Cheers, Benson

Merci, Benson. [nt]

excellent read, thanks Nicolas!

You gotta love the physics behind the Atmos. Do they all have the same settling requirements ? I heard it is about a week or so.

settling, not setting! the time it takes for the clock to actually be in equilibrium within its new place/room/environment, so that the intended dilatation

of the spring is only caused by changes of room temperature No memory effect of transport, and so on.

It takes little time

I have had three and currently own two. One is right on time and has been running smoothly for about 5 years. You set it and tweak it daily for about a week then ignore for years ... hopefully. The other one is currently not running, and never has run wel... 

Absolutely. [nt]

1973 - my favourite, almost looks current

 
 By: jml_watches : December 12th, 2019-01:02
Almost has a Richard Mille vibe to it! Do they still have the one they bricked into the wall? Cheers JML

Fantastic write up! I feel compelled to acquire an Atmos now!

They're so cool! I wonder if they're reliable. I understand the environment must be free of vibrations and that some regulating is necessary by the user to achieve accurate time keeping. Daunting, but probably worth it!
