- Identity and Documentation
- Catalogued under reference Q5111202 with movement number 749'053, this Jaeger-LeCoultre 'Atmos' table clock is dated circa 2012 by Christie's. The lot listing states that no box is included, but confirms papers are present, specifically itemized as a guarantee certificate dated 2012 and product literature.
- Case Structure and Condition
- The clock is constructed from gilt brass, with dimensions listed as 20 by 15.5 by 22 cm (width, length, and height). Visual observation records a glazed gilt brass case with corner pillars and a stepped base, fitted with a bubble spirit level centered at the front of the inner base plate. In the auctioneer's condition report, the case is noted as having scratches and dents.
- Dial Display and Movement Characteristics
- The dial is described as silvered, with visible black Roman hour markers and blued hands. Direct inspection also reveals an inner month scale printed in French visible through an openwork center, alongside a moon phase display positioned directly above 6 o'clock with an 'ATMOS' signature below. The movement is catalogued as mechanical and wound by changes in atmospheric pressure, providing functions for month and moon phases. Beneath the dial, a large cylindrical torsion pendulum balance wheel is visibly suspended. The condition report notes that the movement was ticking at the time of cataloguing with a service recommended, noting that future operation is not guaranteed.
