From Here To Eternity: The Jaeger-LeCoultre Atmos
In recent times, there have been several interesting iterations including the Atmos Mystérieuse in 2003, driven by the Jaeger-LeCoultre Calibre 583 comprising 1,460 parts with the Baccarat crystal festooned with mother-of-pearl and diamonds. In celebration of Jaeger-LeCoultre’s 80th anniversary in 2008, the brand had launched three limited-edition models in collaboration with three different artists. The Atmos Marqueterie, conceived by marquetry artist Jérome Boutteçon, was dedicated to Gustav Klimt’s 1907 portrait of Adele Bloch-Bauer I, known as the Mona Lisa of Austria.
Last but not least was the Atmos 561, designed by legendary Australian designer Marc Newson. It was housed in a hand-blown Baccarat crystal case, offering a panoptic view of the movement. And its pure lines and contemporary curves commanded immediate attention.
Today, the Jaeger LeCoultre Atmos is perhaps one of the most critically celebrated lines of tabletop timekeepers—beholden to an invention that has never been bettered.
