This post is obviously a bit tongue in cheeck, but it IS a Jaeger and it IS a new arrival!
Oversized watch your cup of tea?  You aint seen nothing yet!subtlelaugh.gif

Of course I am talking about the very famous JLC ATMOS clock.  I acquired this one yesterday after a long winded negotiation with the PO.  This one hails from 1965, and its in perfect running order.  I'm really excited about getting a good one at long last!
For those that are not familiar with the ATMOS: it literally runs on air!  It has a pressure sensitive bellows which is activated by changes in temperature.  This in turn energizes the clockwork.  Absolutely mesmerizing to watch, and perfectly quiet.  A true perpetual movement, with absolutely no intervention required to keep it running.  A true piece of horological culture!
