My Birthday Atmos............
As some of you may have seen on the Home page i recieved 2 birthday presents last weekend to celebrate my 40th....greedy I know but I think 40 is worth celebrating in style..!!
The Atmos was one of them and was contained in the big box and is something I have been debating for quite some time and finally thought I'd pull the trigger so ordered it a few weeks ago.......it isn't the easiest to photograph so I hope these pics are OK and show some of the beauty of the Atmos although I think to really appreciate it you have to see one in the flesh and working as the slow movement is almost mesmorising.....
The other present is a PAM292 which is even harder to photograph so I am still working on that one but pics will appear when they are worthy on the Panerai forum..!!!
Hope you enjoy these pics,
Yours,
Andy....(Old but very happy..!!)

Beautiful and tempting...
I, too, have long admired these clocks. Your photos are great! I see you have the "Classique Transparente"; how did you come to this choice over the gold or rhodium Classique or even the moon phase variants? I'm still on the short side of 40, but when it ...
Hi Tom....
I have always loved the Atmos from a pure fascination point of view but there was always something extra I wanted but didn't know what....then the two glass versions came out and that was it...pefect, simple and elegant. It was a tough decision between th...
Happy Birthday, Andy old man. Just think when you are really old,
you won't have to worry about winding your Atmos with your bent old arthritic fingers. Now that makes you look forward to the day, doesn't it? Cheer up - I'm about 20 years ahead of you and it keeps getting better. And my clock is still running. Cazalea...
Thanks Cazalea....
the joy of leaving it forever and never having to wind it is amazing isn't it..!! An absolute joy to watch it...which I have been doing all week..;o) Yours, Andy.
Andy, what a nice decision/present
After all these nice details I would like to see the whole watch at its final place Oliver ps: What happened to your idea about a project with PSM? I liked these idea a lot. Hope you don´t mind that I ask this question.
By the way: That was mine ...
when it arrived some time ago ... The antique chinese cabinet was not the best place and now ... I found the perfect place It is just so relaxing to look at. Cheers Oliver...
Hi Oliver....
I didn't know you also had one....amazing aren't they. There is a pic on the Home page of it in it's home and so far hasn't altered by even a second. Absolutely beautiful to watch. Look forward to meeting again at the next GTG. Andy.
Once again, Andy, my friend
Congrats on this self gift! And you chose a very nice model, too. All is here, the strict essential, but THE ESSENTIAL! Enjoy it ...Perpetually! Best, Nicolas...
Thanks again Nico....
I have a lot to thank you for my good friend especially regarding the 292 which when i figure out how to photograph it will be put on the Panerai forum...!!!! Best to you and your family, Andy.
welcome to the 'i'll never wind my clock again' club
being a cheapskate i bought mine pre owned, but it has worked faultlessly on my mantlepiece for about 3 years and it dates from the 80's so its already had a long life. they are brilliant clocks and i like the all glass model so well bought. here's mine j...
Cheers Graham....
I'll drink a few to celebrate for you too..!!! Pics of the 292 are on the Panerai forum now.....the dark side...!!! Andy.
Excellent. Happy 40th and congrats on the atmos
Part of turning 40 is being able to live life better than the young ones
Thanks again wmclarenf1...
40 is definately the new 30 whan you can also afford to have fun...:o) Andy.
Welcome to the middle age, Andy :-)
And congratulations for the superb JLC I saw some Atmos when I was “hunting” my RDM in Vienna , November 2007 – I knew about them but was really impressed to see those beauties “in the flesh”. I also turned 40 recently (July 31 st ), but wasn’t able to ce...
Happy birthday to you too Marcelo....
Pens also interest me but I can't write with a fountain pen..!! I do keep looking at a Mont Blanc roller ball though...maybe one day..!! Andy.
I could only dream of one....
Congratulations!! The Atmos is amazing and I always dream of having one... good on you!! Can you share a secret how can you get a present like that for you 40th?
The secret....
is to not have a family..!! One day I will so I'm spending while I have the chance...:o) Yours, Andy.
Happy birthday---
Enjoy your new ATMOS! Here are some pics of my ATMOS II, from my great great grandfather. Purchased in 1945. Almost 65 years old and still running perfectly!...
Great piece Socko....
65 years and never been wound up..!! Amazing aren't they..!! Andy.
Great, Jeremy!
Would love to have such a clock from my family! Best, my friend, and happy to see you here, too! Nicolas
Belated Happy Birthday, Andy. I got a similar timepiece as a housewarming gift to myself.
Last year... Wishing you the all the best from raining suburban Bangkok. Ruckdee...
