Lot 49: Vintage LeCoultre Atmos 519 Swiss Clock

Description

Beautiful LeCoultre Atmos clock made in Switzerland. This clock uses a sealed capsule with a mixture of gas and liquid that moves with the changing atmospheric temperature to constantly wind the mainspring thus enabling the clock to run. Because the clock winds itself, the Atmos clock will continue to run if left untouched, “forever”. The serial number of this clock, “32219” shows that it is a model 519 and dates it to the late 1940’s or early 1950’s. There appears to be no damage to the clock, but the hands need to be adjusted and the clock likely needs to be serviced/cleaned to fully run properly.
