Early #9623 Atmos Clock Model Cal. Series II , Excellent Condition GRO
This is a beautiful Atmos clock, made and sold by Jaeger Le Coultre, a well known Swiss company. It is in excellent condition for it's age, both cosmetically and mechanically. It is in good running order and keeping time. It is an unusual 2 tone design. This one, I believe, is a Calibre Series II. It is running beautifully and keeping excellent time.I've had mixed opinions from Atmos enthusiasts about the nickel/chrome plating, on it's originality. I don't have a reason to think it is not. I decided to sell it as a custom case. So consider that when bidding. It's a beautiful clock, runs great and looks great. It will be sold as described.It is the best running Atmos I have owned. After some inquiries about the date and further research, the clock likely dates from the second quarter 1942. SN 9623 and has chrome trim.Some questions have come up about locking the pendulum. On the Series two, or least this one, the pendulum lock operates in reverse of how the later clocks work. When the locking lever is to the left, when looking at the front of the clock, the pendulum is locked. When running, the lever is moved to the right.The bellows are good. It is one of the best running Atmos I have the pleasure of owning The name infers that it runs on the atmospheric pressure changes. It in fact runs on temperature changes. It winds with as little as a 2 degree change in temperature. This is accomplished by an ingenious set of bellows, filled with a gas compound that is very volatile at normal room temperature and causes the bellows to expand and contract with a small temperature change. This expansion and contraction though a small chain, pulleys and a ratchet system winds the mainspring, which powers the clock. These are sometimes called perpetual motion clocks, because they do not require winding. It's a misnomer, but effective marketing. This clock was made by Jaegar Le Coultre, a famous swiss firm, who continues to make these clocks today. The serial number of this clock is 9623 For information on the history and rarity of these clocks, see Google. Search atmos clocks.

This clock has a wood removable backing which gives access to the workings of the clock.The front face of clock is in roman numerials.The face has wear conducive to use and age. The bottom glass window opens and is where the pendulum shows and also shows Waterbury Clock Company Paper Listing. Sold As Is! Excellent item! COMPLETE! MEASURES: 19 1/2" x 14 1/2" x 4". PLEASE WAIT FOR INVOICE HISTORY: In 1854, Waterbury, Connecticut based brass manufacturer Benedict & Burnham created Waterbury Clock Company to manufacture clocks using brass wheels and gears. Waterbury Clock Company was legally incorporated on March 27, 1857, as an independent business with $60,000 in capital.The American clock industry, with scores of companies located in Connecticut's Naugatuck Valley, was producing millions of clocks, earning the region the nickname, "Switzerland of America". The Waterbury Clock Company was one of the largest producers for both domestic sales and export, primarily to Europe. Today its successor, Timex Group USA, Inc. is the only remaining watch company in the region. Originally, the company produced clocks as less expensive alternatives to the high-end European counterparts of the time. In 1887 the company began experimenting with its product line, leading to the creation of the large Jumbo pocket watch, invented by Archibald Bannatyne and named after the famous P. T. Barnum elephant. The Jumbo was put on the market in New York City on a trial basis, catching the attention of Robert H. Ingersoll, a salesman and eventual marketing pioneer. During the turn of the century, Waterbury Clock Company produced millions of pocket watches for the newly created partnership of Robert and his brother Charles, Robert H. Ingersoll & Bro., under their own brand name. In 1896, Ingersoll introduced the Ingersoll Yankee, a dollar pocket watch supplied by Waterbury Clock Company. These watches gained such great popularity that they became known as "the watch that made the dollar famous."In 1877, a new prototype was introduced to Benedict and Burnham for an inexpensive pocket watch made of 58 parts, mostly made of punched sheet brass. They immediately set aside an unused portion of their machine shop and began producing the Long Wind at a rate of 200 per day by 1878. The department quickly outgrew its space in the plant, so with a capital of $400,000 Waterbury Clock's sister company Waterbury Watch Company was incorporated by Benedict & Burnham in 1880 to manufacture and sell inexpensive watches and other timepieces. Waterbury Watch started out very successfully in its early days, employing hundreds of women for their "slender fingers" and "delicate manipulation," having become the largest volume producer of watches in the world by 1888.Due to poor sales techniques, where jobbers and salesmen gave away much of the Waterbury Watch products as loss leaders with little regard to the company's future, thereby cheapening the products' perceived value, Waterbury Watch quickly fell into bankruptcy. In a last attempt to salvage the company, Waterbury Watch began to produce higher-end watch models which only created more demand on a workforce unable to keep up with the complexity of the new watches using several hundred parts. The company was finally reorganized as the New England Watch Company in 1898 as its London sales office was placed into liquidation. The company continued to focus on high-priced watch models and eventually fell into receivership, discontinuing business in July 1912. Robert H. Ingersoll & Bro. bought the Waterbury plant and began manufacturing Ingersoll Watches there in 1914. With the American entry into World War I there were new demands for timepiece design. Artillery gunners needed an easy way to calculate and read time while still being able to work the guns. The Waterbury Clock Company met this need by modifying the small Ingersoll ladies' Midget pocket watch to become military-issue wristwatches — lugs were added for a canvas strap, the crown was repositioned to 3 o'clock, hands and numbers were made luminescent for nighttime readability, thus making one of the first wrist watches. In 1922, Waterbury Clock Company purchased the Robert H. Ingersoll & Bro. company for $1,500,000, which had gone bankrupt the previous year due to the post-war recession, thereby inheriting all of Ingersoll's and Waterbury Watch's assets and facilities. Unable to deliver on Ingersoll's guarantee of quality in Europe due to the Great Depression, Waterbury Clock sold the London-based Ingersoll, Ltd. to its Board of Directors in 1930, making it a wholly British-owned enterprise. The "powerful Ingersoll brand name" was continued in the United States by Waterbury Clock into the 1950s. No longer part of Waterbury Clock Company, Ingersoll Ltd. continued to produce the Ingersoll watch brand independently for the European and other international markets. Following the Great Depression and a period of hardship for the company, Waterbury Clock Company regained its identity in the consumer market. In 1930, a license agreement was reached with Walt Disney, resulting in the production of the famous Mickey Mouse watches and clocks under the Ingersoll brand name. The new Mickey Mouse timepieces were introduced to the public at the Chicago World's Fair in June 1933 and quickly became the company's first million-dollar line, saving it from financial disaster. In 1940, Thomas Olsen (owner and operator of Fred. Olsen Shipping Co.) and Joakim Lehmkuhl fled Norway with their families because of the Nazi invasion Eventually they came to the United States seeking investments to assist in the war effort. In 1941, Olsen and Lehmkuhl purchased controlling interest in Waterbury Clock Company, with Thomas Olsen becoming Chairman. Though the company had fallen on hard times during the Great Depression it still had the manufacturing capability to make large numbers of timing devices. Mr. Lehmkuhl, who had studied business and engineering at Harvard and MIT, was appointed President by Olsen and, under his direction, the company became the largest producer of fuse timers for precision defense products in the United States. A new concrete plant was built in nearby Middlebury, Connecticut in 88 days in 1942 for the high-volume production of precision timers. In August 1943, the Army-Navy "E" Award for excellence was awarded by the United States Under-Secretary of War to Waterbury Clock Company for the "Anglo-American fuse". As a result of this success shareholders in the following December voted to rename the company to United States Time Corporation.

1941 HAMILTON Model 21 Marine Chronometer + Gimbal Ring * Running Strong *
Up for sale is a fully tested and running 1941 Hamilton Model 21 Marine Chronometer with Gimbal SuspensionThis item is the large 85-size Hamilton Model 21 marine chronometer (not the smaller 35-size Hamilton model 22 chronometer) Only the clock and gimbal ring are included in this sale, exactly as shown in the photos.The clock is in running condition and is keeping good time. Prior service history is unknown.The clock runs steadily and continuously for approximately 56 hours after a full wind-up. A clock winding key is not included in this sale.This 70+ year old clock movement appears to be comparatively clean and the plates are in good used cosmetic condition. There are minor scratches, and possibly some dirt, oil residue or other signs of wear. See photos of clock interior.The clock dial is in good condition, with some minor scratches, scuffs, and small specks of patina (see photos of dial). There are typical rub-marks on the extreme outer edge of the dial where the bezel ring screws down upon the dial. This wear is common, and the rub marks are out of view when under the closed bezel. (See photos).All 4 clock hands are present, straight, and are in good cosmetic condition.The clock serial number is signed in 3 locations with matching serial number 4879.The thick beveled clock glass is in generally good condition, but there are a few fine 1/4 inch shallow scratches, and 2 small flea-bite indentations, each of which is fine enough that none are apparent in the photos. They are also hard to see in casual direct viewing of the clock.The silvered bezel ring interior is in good condition, with the original US Navy “Overhaul Due Jun 1990 ” clock service reminder sticker on inside of bezel. These clocks were recalled to a navy chronometer servicing facility every 3 years for cleaning and recalibration. This clock seems to have enjoyed a comparatively long tour of US navy service lasting from 1942 through 1990. Some oxidation is present on exterior surfaces.The threads of the clock case and bezel are in good mating condition, and do not “bind” unexpectedly when removing or replacing the bezel.The Brass Chronometer Case and the Gimbal Ring are in used condition with some scratches, accumulation of dirt and oxidation. (see photos)The chronometer's UP - DOWN winding power reserve indicator hand and its driving mechanism are working properly. The Up - Down indicator was used as follows: When in service aboard a ship, these marine chronometers were always wound every day, and at the same time each day, to ensure maximum timekeeping accuracy. It is the first 24 hours of operation after a full winding of the clock that isosynchronism (stable timekeeping rate) is best achieved. After 24 hours there is sometimes a slight drop-off in accuracy as the mainspring winds down from 24 to 48 hours. The Up - Down indicator was used as a visual verification that the chronometer had indeed been wound-up again for that day, and consistently for every day. If the hand passes the 24 hour mark, then it is time to wind up the chronometer again (even though it would continue running with lesser but still acceptable levels of accuracy).The brass gimbal ring, its support screws and nuts are all present and are fully functional. Oxidation and signs of prior use are evident. See photos.The clock dial is 4 and 1/8 inches in diameter Although the clock is currently functioning well and keeping good time, I cannot guarantee continued future operation or timing performance as all of the parts inside the clock are over 75 years old.No winding key is included in this sale. However, let me know if you are looking to buy one to use with this clock.Only the Chronometer clock and gimbal ring are included. No other items are included.The chronometer will be carefully secured and balance wheel "Corked" (immobilized for safe transport). The clock will be snugly packed with plenty of protective cushioning, with tracking and insurance for safe delivery. I've shipped over 20 of these chronometers with 100% of them arriving safely and in undamaged condition Please ask before buying if you have any questions. Payment and ShippingThe cost of shipping includes tracking and insurance for the full value of the item. The clock will be corked, and double boxed with plenty of protective cushioning.This item only ships to addresses in the United States. Sorry, No International Shipping for this item.
