That is probably a good strategy
I think Atmos and earthquake doesn’t really match…
One of my favourite is of course the re-edition of the 1930.
But I am to fund of my kidneys, to be able to put them up for sale…
But one I like that is more affordable is the Atmos Classic Rhodium plated.
Really like the classic look!

Which ATMOS clock ?
I am thinking about jumping into the ATMOS world - but having some trouble choosing among my options. I like the 1930's re-edition (limited release of 300 pieces?) but am having trouble finding one. Also, please help with the enclosed photo of what (may b...
Hello Maikeru!
Those are two very nice choices of the Atmos. I am not sure, but I think that JLC have not started to ship the 1930’s re-edition. And also that you have to sign up for one in advance… The attatched pic looks like an eriler version of Atmos Régulateur Tran...
Thank you blomman!
I'll do some more digging and see what turns up. The available range of recent designs seems extensive. And the values seem to jump quicky - I'm probably looking for something on the modest end here in earthquake-prone Tokyo.

Would mine satisfy your criteria?
The simple, entry-level rhodium plated version of the Atmos... This one has been sitting on my desk for a little over a year now. My preference is actually the normal production transparent version but I could not get myself to like the moonphase disc on ...
Both great choices.....
I went for the basic (if you can call it that..!!) time only transparent version... I do like the moonphase version but I don't like the month dial on it - and the thought that I would only see the month dial go round about 30-40 times in my lifetime also...
Very nice Andy!
Is the movement in brass or is it just the lighting? I had thought the Transparente was only in Rhodium plated.
I think a mixture of....
brass and gold bits in there....similar to the side pics of Ruckdee's further up but different case and face, the bellows are also not covered up and you can see the difference in different temperatures but obviously you can't see it move. Gorgeous to wat...
Ah, I see it now
The plates are rhodium plated but the wheels in brass. Thanks Andy. I magine you have to open the window on a very cold day to watch the bellows change. Beautiful Atmos, one thats on my long list....
Oh no it's visable at all angles...
When really warm the 5 concertina parts to the bellows nearly expand to the full width of the space...hop that makes sense..!! Which in turn pulls and relaxes the chain which winds the main spring which is the large brass/gold piece just behind the dial. ...
I looked at the pendulum just now and it is in fact mesmorizing.
Too bad I don't get to see the bellow in action like yours. Good to see your pic. Thank you. Ruckdee
Both great choices
The right Atmos is certainly a very difficult call especially since the very most exquisite ones are typically special issues with correspondingly high prices. Between the two, budget pernitting it would be the 1930.
Looks like you were at the Atmos spa
Nice pics. The black dial one looks especially unusual as it appears that the hour hand tip broke and now is a piece unique crescent! It is indeed another slippery slope in the world of WISdom.
