Jaeger-LeCoultre

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 ...  

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

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

I need to look deeper into it!

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

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

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

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

Maybe the current Transparent or just the Classique?

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... 

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

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.

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

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... 

Almost has a Richard Mille vibe to it! Do they still have the one they bricked into the wall? Cheers JML

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!
