This Jaeger Le Coultre Atmos Clock, known as the "Embassy" model No 5904, was expertly crafted in 1972. Its elegant design features a gilt lacquered rectangular case with striking red lacquered sides and dial plate. The clock boasts a silvered chapter, complemented by black engraved Roman numerals and gilt brass counterbalanced moon hands. This exquisite timepiece comes with its original paperwork and manufacturers' instructions, although it does not include an outer case.
Atmos clocks are renowned for their unique mechanism, which utilises a torsion suspension rotary pendulum. This innovative design is driven by a mainspring wound through a sealed chamber containing gaseous ethyl chloride. The clock's mechanism is incredibly sensitive to even the slightest changes in temperature and air pressure, ensuring precise timekeeping without the need for manual winding.
