Jaeger LeCoultre 1970s LeCoultre Atmos Moderne: Luigi Colani Gold Edition Ref.5921

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

The unique, 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 from 1974 to 1975, available in gold and silver, with extremely limited production. Upon its release, 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 extended the idea that "there are no completely 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. Different from the traditional Atmos glass door, Colani opted for a bold design with a one-piece upward-opening door resembling a spacecraft, leading to speculation that Colani might also be a STAR WARS fan.

This clock is made of brass, with a brushed finish on the surface without electroplating, presenting a highly textured retro feel. The entire clock, from the case to the movement, is in nearly flawless condition, making it a rare gem. The clock 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.
