Jaeger-LeCoultre Atmos Clock | Caliber 528-8 | Swiss Mid-Century Brass & Glass Masterpiece
Exquisitely preserved and mechanically mesmerizing, this vintage Jaeger-LeCoultre Atmos Clock is powered by the air around you. Featuring the rare and reliable Caliber 528-8 movement, this piece was masterfully crafted in Switzerland by LeCoultre & Cie, a forerunner to the iconic Jaeger-LeCoultre house of horology.
This model boasts a transparent glass cabinet with a glowing brass frame that allows a full view of its intricate gears, bellows, and torsion pendulum. The elegant design—marked by minimalist mid-century numerals, beveled glass panels, and a gleaming gold dial—makes this a standout timepiece for collectors and interior designers alike.

Why it matters: The Atmos is revered as one of the most ingenious horological inventions of the 20th century—requiring no winding, batteries, or external power. A single degree of temperature change powers it for days. This is not just a clock—it’s an engineering marvel and design icon.
Comparable models often list for over $2,500 in similar condition. Priced at $1,777 and now on sale for $999, this is an exceptional opportunity to own a mechanical legacy in museum-worthy form. It has yet to be polished as some buyers prefer the natural tarnish.
Ships professionally packed. Please inquire with any questions or for additional images or information. Thank you.
