Expressing the geometric beauty of Art Deco through a combination of rectangles, circles, and straight lines.

The "Atmos Transparent" reveals a remarkably clean, new aesthetic through its anti-reflective transparent crystal glass, creating a table clock that emanates captivating and exquisite harmony from every angle. The Art Deco-style dial is adorned with minimalist indexes and hands, while the base is finished in satin-brushed rhodium plate. The Atmos, with its exceptionally simple mechanism invented by engineer Jean-Léon Reutter in 1928 and first sold by Jaeger-LeCoultre in the 1930s, harnesses air as its power source, achieving remarkable stability and superior precision.

The Atmos is equipped with a perpetual-motion movement that is supplied with two days of operating energy for every one-degree Celsius change in temperature. This intricate mechanism can be admired through the clear crystal glass. Furthermore, the entire transparent cabinet features new anti-reflective treatment, beautifully highlighting the details that create its captivating spectacle.

The new crystal glass dial, featuring 12 striking indexes, presents slender black markers that stand out clearly. Simultaneously, two thick hands, also in black, distinctly indicate the passage of hours and minutes. The minimalist indexes and hands form a harmonious contrast with the dial's rounded, flower-like form. The rectangular cabinet and the straight indexes and hands within the circular dial create geometric beauty, embodying the fusion of mechanical precision and aesthetic artistry.

This iconic table clock from Jaeger-LeCoultre is a must-have for connoisseurs who appreciate timeless pieces with a forward-thinking, environmentally conscious, and highly contemporary design.
