Detail Description: ATMOS Model V, CALIBRE 526 A GREAT LOOKING ATMOS CLOCK, IN PERFECT WORKING CONDITION Up for your consideration is an ATMOS Clock, Model V, Calibre No. 526 as distinguished by the type of Balance (pendulum) and the width of the support plate. This clocks serial number is 77936 indicating it was manufactured in Switzerland in late August of 1955. The Amos Model V is a smaller version of the larger ATMOS Model III and ATMOS Model VIII which could make it easier to fit in with your home décor. ATMOS clocks are delicate instruments which use small temperature changes (1 to 2 degrees C) to drive a bellows to wind the main spring. And since the temperature is always changing in a house or a room, the ATMOS clocks main spring is constantly being wound to run the clock. Thus, ATMOS clocks do not ever require winding (not once a day, not once a week or not once every 400 days). Once set and in position an ATMOS clock will continue to run for as long as 5 to 10 years without any attention keeping very reliable time. The only reason to stop an ATMOS clock is to clean it. And since the movement, balance and bellows motor are contained in a glass and metal case, protected from normal air borne particles such as dust and moisture, cleaning is very seldom required. Even though this clock is 68 years old, it is in excellent condition. As seen from the pictures the case is in extremely good condition with only a few small scratches which are normal for a clock of its age. There is no loss or thinning of the gold plating on the case parts. There are no scratches or chips on the front door, side, back or top glass panels. The 15 jewel movement has been ultrasonically cleaned and assembled with no lubrication as specified by Le Coultre. The bellows motor is in good condition and drives the clock well. The clock has been adjusted and runs well. ATMOS clocks can easily be adjusted to an average error of less than 1 to 5 seconds per week. Some minor adjustment will probably be required after shipping. The balance rotates approximately 450 degrees per each half cycle or half minute an indication of a well adjusted movement. The poise has been set so this clock is ready to be positioned in a place of distinction in your home or office. It has run flawlessly in my home for over six months. As can be seen in the close-up pictures of the face, the finish is almost flawless. The original manufacturers mark, “Le Coultre” on the front of the movement and “SWISS” under the "6", is clear and flawless on the face.
