About This Piece

Vintage Design

Atmos Borne - Jaeger Lecoultre.

Switzerland, brass, 1960s.

Dimensions: height: 21 cm

Atmos special model Borne. Round housing made of minted brass, nickel -plated.
The Atmos Borne was built from 1962-1967.

Condition:
Newly nickel -plated and freshly revised. The clock runs absolutely reliably and accurate.
The two lowest small screws are missing for attaching the rear wall. This does not affect the stability nor the walking ability of the watch.
The state of housing is as shown in the photos. The photos are not "beautified".

Super rarely with the original shipping box.

Useful information:
In 1927, the young Ingenieuer Jean-Léon Reutter presented the prototype of the Atmos watch he developed.
The echo in the press was great and so he concluded a contract with the Compagnie Générale de Radiology, which from 1930 built and distributed the "Atmos I" under Reutters.
Since there were always problems with the clocks, the clockworks were made by Le Coultre et Cie in Switzerland from 1933 and in 1935 the production rights of the ATMOS clock became the ETS. Ed. Jaeger overwritten.
They focused on developing a simpler and more robust engine and from 1938 the era of the Atmos of Jaeger-Lecoultre began.

The "clock lives from the air" uses the "breathing movements" of a gas -filled bales to raise the clockwork during temperature fluctuations.
The work of the watch is striking due to its cylindrical can on the back. It is located in a balm -shaped chamber of expansion chloräthyl, a gas that extends particularly strongly between 10 ° C and 27 ° C.
A temperature difference of only one degree Celsius pulls the watch on for 48 hours. This interesting elevator mechanism finds its supplement in an excellent clockwork of extreme precision with a heavy torsion spendula (rotary pendulum).
The condition for the accuracy of the clock is a stable and vibration -free line -up.
