watches luxury

In 1904, the Belgian financier Adolphe Stoke Hamlet of Adolphe Stoclet painter Gustav Klimt (Gustav Klimt), a luxurious palace creation of a mosaic mural. This palace in Brussels, designed by architect Joseph Hoffmann (Josef Hoffmann). A number of paintings in the palace, Klimt’s famous painting “The Kiss (Le Baiser) the combination of his outstanding accomplishments in the decorative arts. A century, the Klimt works still exudes a strong vitality and charming artistic charm.

To pay tribute to the painting, the plot to launch a new the Atmos Marqueterie parquet air bell. The bell of this section air only limited edition ten LeCoultre new interpretation of the Art Nouveau style (l’Art Nouveau), the perfect embodiment of its artistic value. Air-minute bell shell completely copying the paintings “The Kiss”, in which injected a rare craftsmanship, the only way this process in order to highlight the extraordinary painter to the Austrian symbolism painter.
Atmos clock, clock cases by more than 1200 pieces of individually cut precious wood chips. Wood chips or to maintain a natural state, or a Klimt painting techniques to gold foil, then felled a paste with a completely hand-completed luxury parquet works was born. Adhering to the Jaeger-LeCoultre Grande Maison “excellence on the details of the artisans to give gold to the different colors of gold, rose gold, to make the paintings appear lifelike and highlights its colorful qualities. The whole picture for Ambon wood burl plate base, and decorated with precious wood chips of the wood grain of a variety of brown and orange tones. Paintings, the Kama Surrey boxwood and the Ceylon Lemon wood color complement the Brazilian cherry wood side by side and Meng Duona wood tree tumors. Maple and Lei Muk combining with burl walnut Liriodendron; ash burl their emphasis on the Andean boxwood. This art need to spend hundreds of hours to complete, Marquetry master skill to master their craft, but also have profound artistic attainments, a key factor because this is the decision to the whole works of beauty.

Just lightly touch the hidden button on the clock cases, clock cases will slowly open, showing the delicate mechanical devices equipped with the Atmos clock. Bell shell door open, showing a crystal glass to create the inner bell shell, built-in air bell is perfect and accurate witness the passage of time. In addition to the conventional sub-display, this air bell but also on the dials of the clock displays the month and moon phase. The feature shows the details of decoration with the natural mother of pearl on the display panel to form a dazzling pattern, perfectly echoes the exquisite paintings of gilded wood tones, and clock cases. A pillow cut yellow sapphire solemnly embedded in the 60 minutes position, symbolizing the zenith, while the other time scale is used diamond silicified wood, symbolizing the earth. Gilded moon pattern in the strong chiaroscuro background: it is engraved in a silicified wood brown disk around the mosaic of brilliant-cut diamonds, like the night sky shining stars. Month runner to wear a crown made of silver-plated brass moon pattern, filling the elegant and modern temperament. Circular disk, clearly visible mechanical gear and golden brown mechanical rotating parts Klimt design Arabia decorative patterns echoes, in the same space will be linked to past and present.

Atmos clock obviously has a close relationship. Its style is quiet and solemn, has witnessed since the birth of the 80 contained in time. Subtle changes in its near-constant temperature of the moving mechanism alone can gain momentum. Now, although the Atmos clock after improvement and becoming more perfect, but the operating principle remains as ever: the clock running through subtle changes in temperature the kinetic energy. The mystery is: full of mixed mercury vapor in a sealed cover, the gas temperature increases and expansion and contraction due to temperature decreases. Sealed cover as a mechanical lung, with the changes in the ambient air temperature and respiration, contraction and expansion movement as the spring on the chain, thus boosting the clock operation. Degree Celsius of temperature change can provide the power of running 48 hours. Ring called the energy-saving model of balance wheel: per minute, twice a vibration frequency, the energy consumption than a vibration frequency of 300 times per minute for ordinary watch 250 times lower. This is not only a clock clock is a mechanism of energy saving and environmental protection, energy consumption is extremely small – the total energy consumption of the sixty million Atmos clock is only equivalent to light a 15 watt light bulb, the energy required.
