Jaeger LeCoultre - Atmos in classic design from 1974

Dimensions: H x W x D: 23 x 21 x 16 cm

Description:
Atmos VIII in matt brushed gold-plated case with polished stands. Rotating pendulum with vertical milled stripes.
Due to the classic design with white dial ring and Arabic numerals, this model can be considered the direct successor of the classic Atmos II, III and VI. Same appearance, same proportion, different calibre.

This model was produced under ref. 5902 with calibre 528 in the years 1967 - 1984.

Serial number: 426771
Year of manufacture: 1974

Condition:
The watch runs absolutely reliable and accurate.
I give a one year guarantee on the movement if it is professionally set up and handled.

The gilding is very well preserved and not rubbed. However, there are noticeable scratches on the back of the upper frame and base. Some of the 45° corners have stress cracks, as unfortunately so often happens with this model.
The photos are not "embellished", the case condition is as shown in the photos.

In most of the photos, the watch is seen without the front glass because of the reflection of the glass when taking photos.

You are welcome to view any of my watches in person at my showroom.

Fun Facts:
The "clock that lives on air" uses the "breathing movements" of a gas-filled bellows created by temperature fluctuations to wind the movement.
The movement of the clock stands out because of its cylindrical box on the back. Inside, a bellows-shaped expansion chamber contains chloroethyl, a gas that expands particularly strongly between 10 °C and 27 °C. The movement's accuracy is dependent on the "breathing movement" of the bellows.
The condition for the clock's accuracy is a stable and vibration-free installation.
