Atmos 561

View text

Long fascinated with mantle clocks and a passionate fan of the Atmos (a mechanism that runs on temperature differential alone), Marc was approached by Swiss watch and clock manufacturer Jaeger-LeCoultre to design an 80th anniversary edition of their Atmos clock.

The Atmos 561 by Marc Newson is housed in a bespoke hand-blown Baccarat crystal case, acting to protect the precious mechanism which appears to float suspended, as if by magic. The result is an intriguing and almost magical object, not unlike a ship in a bottle.

Edition of 888.
