Swiss Jaeger-LeCoultre Chinoiserie-Style Atmos Clock with Original Case & Papers
A striking and uncommon example of mid-century horological artistry, this Jaeger-LeCoultre Atmos clock is presented in a rare Chinoiserie-style case adorned with deeply reverse-carved acrylic panels with golded front and side doors. Each panel is delicately crafted, depicting serene, pastoral scenes — including a fisherman, pagoda, and traditional boat — all rendered with exquisite precision and grace. The black and gold palette offers dramatic contrast, framing the minimalist white and gilt dial for maximum visual impact.
Housed in its original presentation case and accompanied by its original papers, this piece is not only a mechanical marvel — powered by atmospheric pressure and temperature changes — but also a sculptural object with strong decorative presence. A distinctive find for collectors of rare timepieces and Asian-inspired design.
This clock has been restored and comes with a one-year warranty.
