While Jaeger Lecoultre unveiled 12 wonders in the Hybris Artistica Line in 2014, there was one which was really apart, as it was not a wristwatch, but a clock, and a legendary one, the Atmos. 

Here it is: 





A piece unique. 

Enjoy,

Nicolas

Still hard to belief

I find the tech cal concept behind the Atmos fascinating. Put gas in closed container, Allie the container to expand and contract if gas is warmer or colder, the expansion and contraction will produce the energy to drive the movement. Speaking of climate neutral energy. I still find it amazing that this concept has not branched out into other applications (well it did a bit in certain thermostats etc) and that it hadnโ€™t been picked up by other brands. Perhaps the fact that itโ€™s pretty sensitive

A bit outdated, I don't know...

Please click here, you will see several which don't look that outdated: www.watchprosite.com Each year, I am following what JLC has to offer in terms of Atmos. I find the concept very attractive and interesting. No, it needs some place and... Calm. Best, my friend. Nicolas

I had read that review

Outdated may have been the wrong word, perhaps not as flashy as good he or at least a bit underrated underestimated. I simply Iโ€™ve the technical concept and on some models I like the looks as well.
