JAEGER LECOULTRE ATMOS MOON PHASE Cal. 540 CLOCK COMPLETE SET

JAEGER LECOULTRE ATMOS MOON PHASE Cal. 540 CLOCK COMPLETE SETAtmos caliber 540 with moon phase in a gold-plated case, this is a "New Old Stock" item from a private collector, comes with original box and matched serial number tag, manuals and an original moon phase adjustment tool included.Serial number: 706461.Condition:New Old Stock in Excellent working condition! We have the clock run for two days and it maintains excellent performance, keeping excellent time!The original dark blue box has clear signs of wear, the original foam wrap bag for the clock wrapping has been teared, please see the last picture for details. Please understand that you are buying a Atmos clock, the Atmos clocks do not keep perfect time like the modern quartz clocks.I live in Colorado, the city of Colorado Springs is 6,035 feet above sea level, and some of our most celebrated natural attractions are even higher--like Pikes Peak, at an impressive 14,115 feet above sea level. Since this clock is now tuned for time at high altitude, if the new owner lives at a lower altitude, some necessary calibration upon arrival at the destination might be required.After shipping, the Atmos clock might need some adjustment.If you move the Atmos clock from one room to the other,Please make sure to lock the balance wheel before doing any moving and adjustments.The adjustments of the liquid level may be needed after each move.Even if noted as working great, due to its age, it might need service anytime.Please understand that due to the delicate nature of these Atmos clock adjustments may be needed after each move.We have shipped a number of these fine Atmos clocks to various countries without any damage problems.The balance wheel(pendulum) will be locked carefully, and the clock packed with double boxes, ship with full coverage insurance to USA 48 States ONLY. Due to the high value and fragility of this clock, we do not offer international shipping.Interesting facts:Even though Leonardo da Vinci was able to prove that the production of a perpetual motion machine was physically impossible, it was still attempted time and again. In 1928, Neuchatel engineer Jean Leon Reuter invented the technology for a clock whose energy source was drawn from the ambient air, from the atmosphere so to speak.As there were repeated problems with the watches, the movements were manufactured by Le Coultre et Cie in Switzerland from 1933 and in 1935 the production rights for the Atmos watch were transferred to Ets. Ed. Jaeger in 1935.The technical principle of the movements built by Jaeger Le Coultre from 1936 onwards is simply captivating: a mixture of a liquid and ethyl chloride gas is contained in a hermetically sealed capsule. As the temperature rises, the mixture expands, and as the temperature falls, it contracts, causing a bellows in the pressure box on the back of the watch to move like an accordion. This movement continuously winds up the movement. In the range between 15 and 30?C, a change in temperature of just one degree Celsius is enough to provide the energy for around two days of running time. (Condition: New (Other))

Jaeger-LeCoultre ATMOS MANTEL CLOCK 13-Jewel Movement 540, Original Box

Item under consideration is a 9 inch Tall, Jaeger-LeCoultre ATMOS (atmospherical) CLASSIC MANTLE CLOCK, SN 668388, with a jeweled 540 movement and a gilt gold rectangular case. 'The clock that works on air'. Produced in 1987 by Jaeger-LeCoultre located in Geneva, Switzerland.Clock is glass encased with a 24K gold plated bronze frame. Has a Rare Square dial with a gold gilt bezel, applied gold Arabic numerals and indexes positioned on a lacquered white faced dial, 13 jewel 540 movement, and a locking mechanism for transport. The clock is equipped with a glass bubble level and two adjustable front feet to assist in the leveling of the clock, which is necessary for accurate operation.Included are the following:International GuaranteeDirections for Use DocumentOriginal Box with packing material included.Note:Clock is new, never used. Original owner states he received clock in 1994 as a retirement gift, never activated it, placed sealed box in storage, where it remained until Sept. 2021 (27 years).Upon receiving the clock in September, we first balanced and then activated the clock to verify operability. Clock operated for one week continually. Then it was deactivated and stored in original box with original packing material. Clock operated accurately with no fault or errors found during this period.Atmos Clock operation:The Atmos clock operates with no external power source use, never needs to be manually wound by hand or require use of a suspended weight, as most pendulum clocks do. Instead, the Atmos clock gets its power to operate from minute changes in atmospheric temperature.No batteries, no electricity, no manual windings.Extremely accurate and silent.The technical principle behind the Atmos operation is a beguiling one; inside a hermetically sealed capsule is a mixture of gas and liquid which expands as the ambient temperature rises and contracts as it falls, causing the capsule surface to move like a concertina. This motion is utilized to wind up the clock's mainspring. A variation in temperature of one degree C provides sufficient energy for 48 hours of clock operation.The Atmos is specifically designed and built so that there is minimal resistance opposing this small amount of created energy. To convert this small amount of energy into motion, everything inside the Atmos has to work as smoothly and gently as possible.Therefore, all its parts are made of the highest quality material with the greatest of precision, and are practically wear free. Theoretically, an ATMOS clock should expect a service life of at least 600 years. With today's air pollution, service is recommended every 20 years, or so.Connoisseurs of elegant forms, precious materials, and traditional craftsmanship are, also, not disappointed with the Atmos. The frame of this Atmos, under consideration, is 24K Gold plated. Every Atmos is made by hand, with some models requiring a full month to complete a single clock. There are an additional 5 weeks of testing, alinements and fine adjustments that every ATMOS has to successfully complete before acceptance by the master-watchmakers of Jaeger-LeCoultre.The subtle union between the classic and the modern is the secret to the Atmos collection's timelessness. Its unique design allows the observer to view the complexity and operation of its machinery from all angles. The ring shaped balance wheel seems to float in the air, charting the course of time with utter ease and grace.The Atmos clock in its gilded cage is a genuine icon of style and perfection.A unique gem of horological technology. Temperatures changes are its source of power and its balance wheel will operate as long as the sun will shine.Jaeger-LeCoultre's ATMOS Clock is the official gift of the Swiss Confederation, a prestigious group of nation states consigned to armed neutrality. Many historical and political leaders have had the experience of displaying an Atmos clock on their bookshelves and desks.Dimensions: Height- 9.1 inch. Width- 7.1 inch. Length- 5.1 inch. Weight- 10 pounds, 10.4 ounces.Background.In 1928 a French engineer, Jean-Lean Reutter, designed a completely revolutionary clock. A Clock drawing its power to operate from variations in ambient temperature. Jaeger-LeCoultre transposed this concept into a technical reality that they perfected and patented.Production of the Atmos Clock began in 1936. (Condition: New (Other))

O-Scale Brass Hillcrest Lumber No. 10 Climax Three-Truck Locomotive

Brass O-Scale Hillcrest Lumber No. 10 Three-Truck Climax Locomotive – This is a fine example of the model builder’s skills in Korea and imported by the legendary Precision Scale Co. A beautifully crafted scale model of the final run of these geared-truck Climax locomotives. This 70-ton prototype (No. 10) was made for the Hillcrest Lumber Company Ltd. in March 1928, Shop No. 1693 and was initially numbered 3, in standard gauge. It was also the last one made for sale on the North American continent and the last year for the Climax Company. By 1961 this Climax (No. 10) was the last operating Climax locomotive in North America! These interesting locomotives were manufactured from 1888 to 1928 for a total of only 1035 produced but were sold world-wide for use in the lumber and industrial mining areas. The geared design was very effective in the woods where steep grades, tight curves and poor trackage conditions prevailed. The Climax company, founded initially by George Yost, began production of based on designs by Charles Scott, improved by George Gilbert but with shaky financial success. The company was reorganized and then owned and managed by Rush S. Battles who is credited with driving the Climax Manufacturing Company forward successfully. The Climax design was very similar to earlier steam-powered mechanical products made for the oil field business such as pumps. Initially the first Climax design (Class A) used vertical cylinders over a center drive shaft through a gear box that proved to be workable but with several mechanical and maintenance issues. The design was reworked, and the first modern Class B Climax was produced in 1893 – with inclined cylinders (22.5 degrees) on either side of a standard designed locomotive boiler. This fine reproduction exhibits all of the careful detailing expected including accurate steel frame details with wooden bumpers, Walschaerts valve gear and related cylinder details including steam supply and exhaust distribution lines and fittings, connecting crank fittings, steam air compressor with related valves and lines, the steel all-weather cab with fully detailed boiler backhead controls, fuel oil bunker with fill lid and vent line in place with sand boxes on the rear and the water tank tender is complete including water pump and sand boxes at the rear with fill caps in place – everything ready to begin operations in the field. This model has been beautifully weathered and thoughtfully detailed with tools, oil cans, misc. parts on pilot around and the tool-box on top of the tender to enhance and show-off all aspects of this wonderful locomotive Everything from the boiler finish with streaks of residue from rain, steam and grime, cast steel trucks counter weighted with pinon gears coated in grease, brake shoes, air brake cylinder and hangers plus air lines, steam generator with steam exhaust line, accurate steel girder frame details with dirt and grime, boiler domes with pressure relief valves, spark-arrestor smoke stack, steam whistle even with pull cord in place, brass bell and steel boiler jacket are all weathered carefully – all of this major effort creates a model that really recreates what this locomotive might have looked like when in use. The new hardcover book “The Climax Locomotive” by Dennis Thompson, Richard Dunn and Steve Hauff, published in 2002 by Oso Publishing Company will also be included with this exceptional model. I am a collector - not a dealer - and this amazing model, which was purchased new, has been in our collection for over twenty years mostly spent in its box awaiting its turn to be painted, weathered and detailed by an artist much in demand and who has really created an art-form. The time required between acceptance of the model to be painted and completion is between 1-3 years minimum. It is now being offered for sale so that we might expand into other areas of brass locomotive collecting mainly different railway equipment from geared locomotives. Please review all details and photos carefully as no returns are possible - please ask any questions necessary to resolve any doubts or concerns that you may have regarding this rare and beautifully detailed and weathered Hillcrest Lumber No. 10. This fine model will be shipped without its original box (still searching for it and will forward to new owner when located) – double boxed, at buyer's expense and we recommend shipping via USPS Priority Mail insured.

A VIEW OF THE NEW MAINSPRINGS AND OTHER COMPONENTS OF THE #113A MOVEMENT, PREPARED FOR REASSEMBLY, IS SHOWN IN SUPERSIZE PHOTO 9. IMPORTANT: POST RESTORATION ADJUSTMENTS: ELECTRONIC TESTS WERE PERFORMED TO ADJUST AND MINIMIZE THE PENDULUM BEAT ERROR, WITH AN OBJECTIVE OF APPROACHING ZERO.

IT BEARS MENTIONING THAT A “COMPETE SERVICE AND RESTORE” JOB ON A #113A MOVEMENT, AS DESCRIBED ABOVE, WHEN DONE BY A COMPETENT PROFESSIONAL IS IN THE $600 RANGE. THAT IS ANOTHER REASON FOR THE DISCRIMINATING EBAY ANTIQUE BUYER TO CHOOSE WISELY WHEN PURCHASING!! WORKMANSHIP AND QUALITY – ALL OF MY SETH THOMAS ANTIQUE CLOCKS ARE FULLY RESTORED IN EVERY WAY UNLESS SPECIFICALLY STATED OTHERWISE.

New SETH THOMAS WESTMINSTER ANTIQUE CHIME CLOCK NUMBER 70-1928 REBUILT 113

CHIME CLOCK No. 70 AMERICAN WALNUT– 1928 Offered today is this extraordinary find for your viewing, listening and buying pleasure. A very hard to find Seth Thomas Chime No. 70 made in the year of 1928. The case is made out of American Walnut wood and still shows its beautiful unaltered shellac finish. The case has a few character marks which can all be seen in the pictures, and is in excellent condition for a clock this old. A nice stenciled design that is original on top of the clock case transitioning to a beautiful green gold finish dial behind the encased glass front door. The dial is very clean and back door has a slight outward bow and doesn’t close all the way but the front door opens and closes properly as it should. I think two sticks on the end and one in the middle in a vice for a week will correct the bow. As you can see the movement is in great shape and has polished brass plates making this a high end of the Seth Thomas clocks. The massive 113A movement weighs in at just over 5 pounds and has been completely and properly rebuilt by me. The timing is exceptionally accurate throughout the week and has proper power as shown in the Fast Slow picture. Each quarter-hour chimes on the four Mayland chime rods which are by far the best sounding of any chime rods of the Seth Thomas collection. The first quarter-hour plays four notes. Eight notes on the half hour and 12 notes play on the three quarter hour. At the top of each hour 16 notes play the full Westminster chime followed by the hour count striking on the fifth rod. This clock comes with its original key (very hard to find), its polished brass bob and leader and everything on this clock is fully functional. This is a full size chime clock which measures 15” H X 11 ½” W X 8” D that would compliment any of your room’s décor with its beauty and sound. Buy it for a birthday, anniversary or wedding gift for that special someone or just buying it for your own collection to pass on as a family Heirloom. Your clock will be carefully packed with instructions and my contact number and because of its size, weight and value, shipping will be charged at a flat rate of only $65.00 FedEx Ground/Home Delivery in the continental United States only. DELIVERY CONFIRMATION INSURANCE SIGNATURE REQUIRED UPON DELIVERY WILL BE INCLUDED IN THE SHIPPING RATE AND WILL BE INSURED AT THE FULL ACTUAL SELLING PRICE.
