The clock is in excellent working condition and keeps accurate time.This beautiful clock is a perfect addition to any collection or as a statement piece for any mantle. The elegant design and vintage style make it a true conversation starter. Don't miss out on the opportunity to own this piece of history from Switzerland This is a family heirloom that I’ve had in locked position, packed and in storage for about twenty years. Used very sparingly after its last servicing before it was given to me. I tested it before listing, set time and it remained accurate to within 1 minute or less for the 2-3 days I had it unlocked and in motion. Very smooth and looks to be almost perfectly level based on my limited research on this beautiful piece. Minor marks but in excellent condition. See photos. About:Another Atmos model was added in 1954. This model moved the pendulum retention knob to the movement itself, allowing a hinged door to be used in the case. The Atmos IV used Cal. 522 (with a 50 mm main plate) or 532 (45 mm) and featured a single thick line on the pendulum. These were produced for a short time that year only, with all known serial numbers in the 60,000-70,000 range. This short production run makes the Atmos IV one of the rarest full-production models. One notable difference starting with the Atmos IV was the elimination of the three-pointed bridge used to hold the minute wheel. Instead, the minute train was “flying” above the three-quarter plate in this and all future Atmos models. (Condition: Pre-Owned)
