My Ultra Rare JLC Atmos from 1951

just responded to the Skeleton Clock post below, but reposting here since that post is about to roll to next page.........

From 1951, 100% original, an extremely rare iteration due to the combination of it being rhodium plated and the regulator knob facing towards the FRONT of the clock. I think JLC only did a small run of these front facing regulator knobs, so when you cross that with the uncommon rhodium plated, and further cross that with the Atmos II movement, and look at the all-original excellent condition, well I have NEVER seen this exact JLC Atmos permutation, and I've watched more than 5000 Atmos e-B*y auctions. If you look closely at the second picture, you can pick up part the adjustor knob. The closest I've seen is a permutation where the 3 and 9 were "horizontal", not "vertical".

It was fully serviced in the last two years, and keeps very accurate time.
