Jaeger-LeCoultre Launches Two New Atmos Clocks, Including A Tellurium, At Watches And Wonders 2022.

There isn't anything like the Atmos clock made anywhere else in the world, and while every Atmos has its own charms – even the most basic models are endlessly watchable – I think the Tellurium and the Infinite are two of the most beautiful that Jaeger-LeCoultre has ever made. If you're going to have a miniature universe on your shelf you want it to look the part, and the Atmos Tellurium has had quite a lot of decorative effort lavished on it. A blue whale's heart beats just twice a minute when it's diving – looking at the Atmos Infinite, I bet you'd feel a little bit of the remote world in which that behemoth moves, and something of the the measured pace of the movement of the stars and planets, as well. The Atmos Infinite is the Atmos reduced to the bare minimum in terms of components, but it's also proof that simplicity doesn't mean simplistic. At Watches and Wonders in Geneva, Jaeger-LeCoultre has just introduced two new versions of the Atmos clock, designed to express the theme the brand's chosen for the show, which has to do with horological expressions of the heavens. One of the most interesting things you can do with a clock, which is harder to do with a watch, is use changes in ambient temperature as an energy and while across centuries of watchmaking, there have been several attempts to take advantage of the idea, the Atmos clock, invented in 1928 by Jean-Léon Reutter, more or less has the field to itself these days.
