Watches with perpetual power reserve

Is it possible to invent a perpetual motion machine? The company Jaeger-LeCoultre has done it! Eternal watch model Atmos, which can run forever without any winding. And first of them successfully endure for more than eighty years. During this period the first few watches Atmos never once not to be wind. His achievement Jaeger-LeCoultre is proud to demonstrate those immured in a wall clock factory in Santa, so that no human hand can not touch their mechanism. Hours can be seen in a special peephole in the wall - this is such an original way to show the mechanism does not require any winding, no electricity, no water ... they only need air - indeed, we are with you until you're going to move into space, so it's not a reason to take an eternity Atmos in quotation marks.

Amazing desktop clock Atmos have self-winding, working through changes in the volume of gas in a special membrane-harmonica. This gas - hloretilen. It is necessary to ambient temperature change at least one degree, and once or accordion expands or shrinks, sending vibrations on the drum, where the coiled spring of a watchmaker. Vibrations transmitted through most of this circuit, like a miniature version of the bike. For the accumulation of the range for two days only one membrane is sufficient temperature difference, by just 1 ° C. And in any room, even just by being there people, the day temperature is changed several times. So that one obtains not only the eternal hours, but for cruising range in excess of eternity.

The first models Atmos were not built with the latest engineering developments, and in the distant 1928. Just then there was no clock on your computer or mobile ... not only on his arm, but overall were generally only mechanical watch that all the time required to be wind. It is now the hours are a luxury item and status symbol, and then they were a means for time, often cause much trouble to its owner the constant need to keep in mind a reminder that we need to have, for example, all home hours: table, wall and pocket etc.

Revolutionary same mechanism was invented by Jean-Leon Reiter in Paris. And the first option instead hloretilena was not too safe mercury. Only eight years later, in 1936 the Swiss David le Kultr guessed this amazing mechanism to adjust the clock, dubbed Atmos in honor of his main driving force.

Since that time, manufacture Jaeger-LeCoultre has sold more than 750,000 desktop clock Atmos, which are still operating as the first day - without any winding, despite two world wars otgremevshie, crises, and even global warming just increased their inexhaustible reserve.

Today you can buy a desk clock Atmos with a lot of the most interesting varieties, as chief of these is the mechanism, and the body can be filled with the most interesting way. Of modern varieties and the most popular selling watches are the Atmos Classique (Ref: 5101202) in polished gold plated case with a size 200h155h225 mm. Functions: hours, minutes, month, moon phase indicator (1 day difference over 3821 years).
 
Also, among the stylish remake is worth paying attention to the table clock Atmos 566 by Marc Newson (Ref: 5165101). Above their design worked well-known Australian designer Marc Newson. Their body is shaped like a cube of ice crystal Baccarat. Size 163h25h276 mm. The Transfiguration was made in honor of the 80th anniversary of a unique mechanism for Atmos.

 Atmos has an interesting feature: any movement of hours should be implemented only in a stopped state to prevent damage as if floating on a spring balance wheel (2 rpm). The watch has two ways to install a mechanism to pause: the shipping screw from the bottom (for a long carriage) and a special lever to the front which presses the balance wheel in case you just need to move the clock. Such is the peculiarity of the mechanism. However, rumor has it that limited Atmos 566 by Marc Newson have one irresolvable paradox: an opening for conveying screw is, and why of the screw is not present.

Time on Atmos desktop is set with the rotation, oddly enough, the minute hand. Touch-clockwise, much less the balance wheel is prohibited. However, for the sake of the eternal clock can tolerate such whims.

Legendary Atmos Clock eternal have been selected as the official gift of the Swiss Confederation. These desktop clock decorated rooms most famous and influential people in the world. They were on the table at John F. Kennedy, Nixon, Reagan, Churchill, Charles de Gaulle, King of Jordan, and even Pope John Paul II.
