who consider sober lines and accomplished
craftsmanship to be paramount. In this respect,
nothing has changed, especially considering
that all Atmos® clocks are subject to five weeks
of checks and fine adjustments which complete
the work of Jaeger-LeCoultre’s master clock-
makers. A unique gem of horological technology,
the Atmos® clock is a timekeeper of distinction
for Heads of State and numerous sovereigns,
because in Switzerland, a country unique in the
world for the perfection of its watches, it is a
tradition to offer guests of honour this Swiss
horological masterpiece. This has been so for de-
cades now, and the eminent recipients include
John F. Kennedy, Winston Churchill, General
Charles de Gaulle and Charlie Chaplin.
