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))

French Industrial Steam Hammer Clock
late 19th Century black patinated and lacquered brass industrial mystery/novelty clock in the form of a steam hammer by André Romain GuilmetThe reciprocating hammer head is the clock’s pendulum and the motion is achieved by a complex transmission from the escape wheel of a French “pendule de Paris”.The first steam hammer was invented by James Naysmyth who was a contemporary of Guilmet. Guilmet’s fascination with all things industrial as well as horological prompted him to make a clock modelled on Naysmith’s hammerIt is interesting to note that Guilmet was also a prolific inventor who took out many patents and it was he who in 1868, first placed a driving chain on a bicycle, such that it would drive the rear wheel in the manner that we are still familiar with today.This is an estate sale found selling for parts or to be restored Please check the pictures before bidding (Condition: Parts Only)

Extremely Rare J.Cauderay Electrically Impulsed Antique Clock
This is an extremely Rare J. Cauderay Electrically Impulsed Clock from the late 19th. Century. J. Cauderay was an electrician from Lausanne, Switzerland, who became established in Paris. Unlike other early electrically impulsed pendulum clocks Cauderay used a very large decorative balance wheel with hairspring. The electro-magnet coils act on a mass fixed to a vertical shaft. The contact is derived from the Hipp Toggle. The motion works, silk wound electrical wiring, and brass mount all appear to be original and in superb, almost like new condition. The dial appears to have been silvered

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.

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.
