Maybe, at least this Adele will stay in Austria! ....
... as you might have heard, the famous portrait was returned to the rightful owner, since the Nazis had confiscated the picture from the original owners. Since the Austrian government was too stupid to offer an appropriate sum to purchase it back, this pinnacle of Austrian painting is now lost for us. Sad!

SIHH 2008: The Jaeger-LeCoultre new Atmos treats!!
The Atmos clock is 80 years old in 2008. Jean Leon Reutter invented this amazing piece of watchmaking history in 1928! More than 750 000 Atmos clocks have been produced so far! Quite obviously the Jaeger-LeCoultre Manufacture is offering this year several...
I love the Marc Newson Atmos clock!!
It was my most favorite thing JLC put out this year. Absolutely beautiful! Cheers, Anthony
Agreed - the Newson Atmos if THE MJLC piece thie year.
Well done to MJLC for contacting outside designer talent to put a new spin on the movement. Brilliant and a clock that I am looking to buy. Excellent - since the 1950's design was taken out, I had removed the Atmos from my wish list. The clock is back!!!!...
Every horology fan
should have an Atmos to qualify! I'm not yet ready to accept the Marc Newson until seen in-person. I like the idea of a moonphase function because an almost perpetual power supply seems logical for such a slow display. None of my moonphase watches are wor...
1st, Jerome, Congrats for your excellent photos
Yes, my friend, these one are axcellent! Then, and most important, thanks a lot for your write up. I never considered to buy a clock since a recent time, when I pay a little attention to the Atmos . Yes, I have to confess that even if I of course knew tha...
Thanks Nicolas....
Hi my friend, You already have enough watches to buy! Forget about the clocks. Cheers Dje
Good thing...
I held off purchasing an Atmos last year. This year's offerings are GREAT Thanks for sharing... Got to make that call NOW to reserve

I've been waiting for this post.....
and it certainly didn't dissapoint..!!! This year all the new Atmos' are just stunning. Love that bubble..!! Great pics Dje...you really caught every angle to fully show what it is like. Yours, Andy.
Due to a fact that
Klimt and Mucha are two of my 5 favorite all time painters I'm must say that Adele Atmos is fenomenal .... To reproduce portret to such a fine detail using wood is awesome effort now that is JLC at it's best (this made me forget Amvox III pain) Thank you ...
Awesome
Hi Jerome, I have always loved the atmos. I previously had one and offered to a friend. Now I have an excuse to go back and get one for me. Thanks Bill
Of course you can be..
Hi Jerome, But you must be a good boy all year and eat your vegetables. See you in June. Bill
Those are stunning!
Thanks Jerome. I think the Atmos marquetry is my favourite JLC of this year! - SJX
Thanks Dje... All are beautiful!
Where s the secret button to open the Atmos Marqueterie? Is it the centre piece of wood? Kong
80 years and still not boring. My favourite is the Astronomique,
but I think they all look nice. The Marqueterie is a great piece of art - stunning. @Dje: Thanks for sharing and great photos oliver
Price of the affordable Pavilion? This old thing is boring!
I feel the need of a new Atmos! Mine's feeling kinda old and frumpy now, by comparison Mike...
nice
Beautiful clocks! THanks for sharing... Now i just need a nice enough office to put one in!!
fantastic!
wow!!! like andrew, the atmos is now firmly back on my wish list. i'm so glad they paid attention to this line. thanks very much for the great photos jerome. will the newson be a ltd edn as well? maybe the euro will weaken by the time i get one...
Thanks Damien...
Hi, Thank you for your comments. You made me doubt but I specified it! The Newson is limited to 888 pieces! That lets you some chances to get one! You may try to share ownership with Andrew! Cheers Dje ps: I suppose you're the Damien I know?
ah!
i missed it in the original post in all the excitement. yes jerome, its been a while since our memorable trip to the vallee. trust your memovox is still serving you well and all is well with you too.
Yes....
Hi Damien, It was indeed a memorable trip. For passion, for watches, and over the top for people around. It is always special each time I goes back to Le Sentier (I think I've been there 5 times since). Definitely a milestone in our (at least) horological...
