The clock is displayed in a polished gilt rectangular brass case with canted corners and a removable front door that opens to allow access to the movement. The clock self-winds and keeps time on temperature and environmental changes, perpetually spinning the pendulum hence the name 'Atmos'. The clock has a skeletonised white dial with Arabic quarters and baton five-minute markers fronting a jewelled Swiss movement with rotating pendulum. The Empire style has been glamorously revived by Jaeger Le Coultre in this delightful and rare Atmos clock. It is a delightful clock which never needs winding. Condition: In really excellent condition and in working order, keeps perfect time, the gilt brass case having been polished, please see photos for confirmation.
