Gilt Atmos clock, J. L. Reutter, enamel dial, nr. 337, France ca. 1930.
Nr. 092. Gilt Atmos clock, J. L. Reutter, enamel dial, nr. 337, France ca. 1930. Gilt case, transparency through the five glasses. Clock with a enamel dial and Roman numerals. On the back numbered 337. A low number means early specimen. Working: The Atmos clock contains a drum with an U-shaped tube containing mercury and a gas. Due to temperature changes a 'thermic' develops in the drum and causes the axle with the U-shaped tube to oscillate to and fro. Because of the continuous changes in temperature and atmospheric pressure there is a continuous oscillation witch causes the movement to roll permanently, we have a 'Pendule Perpetuele' Signature on the dial 'ATMOS Pendule Perpetuele, Brevets L.J.Reutter' . The invention was the work of the French engineer Jean Leon Reutter. The clock is in a perfect condition. Case and movement authentic, original gilding. Very exclusive in this Art Deco design. HxWxD 24,5x17x16 cm. SOLD
