Love Atmos concept and design

The design of these models is so overwhelming that one tends to forget the unique mechanics of the clock it self. Using fractions of a degree of changes in ambient temperature suffices to keep the clock running. Virtual perpetual so to speak.
And to hold all that technique, the design has been smart and nice: standard and relative standard bit classical designs mixed with contemporary ultra modern (at that time) designs.
My personal favorite is the one where the clock is integrated in some kind of Chinese lacquer cabinet.

If memory serves me right they also had Chinese one with tin y doors that opened up to reveal the mechanics itself.

Maybe an interesting collaboration would be to head back to some of the original Reutter/Lalique designs? I’ve handled the modern Parmigiani Lalique 15 day clocks and the design team at Lalique could really bridge the modernism versus classicism gap the A...
