A Couple Of Reasons Why La Grande Maison...
... Is my favorite brand. The ATMOS Clock. No Winding Key. Gathers Energy Based On Atmospheric Temperature. Almost Perpetual Motion. Genius! Since 1833, Jaeger-LeCoultre has always been an innovator. Besides making timepieces, Antione LeCoultre invented a...
Dead-on....
I agree with every word you have typed. My favorite watchmaker by some margin as well . Love the AMVOXes, the ATMOSes, REVERSOs and every other line they make because there is brilliance to be found in each and every one of them. By the way, it is Monsieu...
Arrrrgh...
... You are right. And now I can't edit the post. Oh well, I am glad you agree with me, even if I can't spell the master's name correctly Cheers!
You live and you learn ;),
That's what most of us are here for I think.... Cheers, Filip
JLC rules!
PS what’s happening with the podcast? Looking forward to hearing new episodes 👍🏻 ...
Hey, Bounce...
... That's a killer GEO. The podcast will be fired back up as soon as Jody is done getting his house back together. His home fell partial victim to the terrible fires we had last year and his weekly focus is rebuilding. Thanks for asking.
Oh wow. Poor J. I didn’t realise he got caught up in the fires.
Send him my best wishes. Cheers
;-) it is a great piece for sure!
They are getting tricky to find because the model has been discontinued and I don’t think they sold very well. For me, this is a great watch enthusiast’s piece. 😀👍🏻 Have a great weekend
Thank You, My Friend...
... You are closely related to the love I have for this brand.

I Think Many Have Tried...
... And failed. It's not an easy trick to pull off. One would think a wrist watch could work on this concept, but the truth of the matter is that the clock has to be set in a place where it will be perfectly level. The 'pendulum' has almost zero friction ...
Hi
Yes I’ve heard about the clock being very sensitive but isn’t it strange that in the past 100 years nobody solves that problem? Doesn’t change the fact that the concept is fantastic
