Jaeger LeCoultre - Atmos V with full dial

Dimensions: H x W x D: 22 x 18 x 13.5 cm

Description:
Atmos V calibre 526 in a gold-plated brass case.
White full dial with Roman numerals and Breguet hands.
Serial number: 516758
Reference number: 5832
Year of manufacture: 1980

Condition:
The movement has been freshly overhauled. It runs accurately and reliably. The case is in absolutely authentic original condition with slight signs of wear commensurate with its age and minimal wear to the gilding.

I give a one-year guarantee on the movement if it is set up and handled correctly.

Worth knowing:
The "clock that lives on air" uses the "breathing movements" of a gas-filled bellows caused by temperature fluctuations to wind the movement.
The movement of the clock is characterised by 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.
A temperature difference of just one degree Celsius winds the clock for 48 hours. This interesting winding mechanism is complemented by an exquisite movement of extreme precision with a heavy torsion pendulum (rotating pendulum).
The condition for the accuracy of the clock is a stable and vibration-free installation.
