Jaeger LeCoultre 1970s Jaeger-LeCoultre Atmos Moderne: Luigi Colani Ref.5922

The Atmos clock, which was introduced in 1928, is an extraordinary technological innovation in the field of watchmaking by Jaeger-LeCoultre, and each Atmos clock is also a visually appealing piece of art. For those who appreciate both mechanics and art, the Atmos clock is definitely a choice not to be missed.

The unique design of this museum-grade Atmos clock from the 1970s that we are sharing today was designed by the German industrial designer Luigi Colani, known as the "modern da Vinci," and named after the master himself. This series was only produced for two years in 1974-1975, available in gold and silver, with extremely limited production. Upon its debut, it quickly sold out and remains a sought-after item among collectors at top auction houses. Born in 1928 into a German artistic family, Luigi Colani was famous for designing sports cars. His works combine various fluid dynamics, aerodynamics, biomimetic curves, and sculptural aesthetics, forming the unique Colani aesthetic. He expanded the idea that "there are no straight lines in the world" to various industrial designs. In his design of the Atmos clock, we see a perfect blend of Cubism, minimalism, Bauhaus style, with a touch of surrealistic science fiction. Differing from the traditional Atmos glass door, Colani opted for a futuristic one-piece upward-opening door, leading to speculations that Colani might also be a STAR WARS fan.

This clock is made of nickel-plated steel, presenting a retro feel different from the traditional bright white rhodium plating, with a brushed finish that exudes exquisite craftsmanship. The clock is nearly flawless from the case to the movement, making it a rare gem. It has been serviced by a senior technician at our workshop, comes without a box but with an instruction manual, runs accurately, and comes with a one-year warranty from the date of purchase.
