Jaeger-LeCoultre "Atmos Vendôme", Movement No. 384254, Ref. 5834, Cal. 526, 235 x 210 x 160 mm, circa 1973
A rare, fine and very ornamental Empire style table clock
Case: gilt brass, glass. Dial: enamel. Movm.: gilt, driven by changing air-pressure, torsion pendulum.
The gilt brass case with glass panels on all sides is enhanced by black fluting inlaid into the four Doric three-quarter corner columns. The base and the top part are similarly ornamented with an Empire-style ornamental frieze with black inlay - this type of decoration is why these clocks were originally called "Empire" or "Directoire".
