Injun Ryder, SASS #36201L Posted May 7, 2021 Share Posted May 7, 2021 Analog clock - no batteries - not plug in! Atmos is the brand name of a mechanical torsion pendulum clock manufactured by Jaeger-LeCoultre in Switzerland which does not need to be wound manually. It gets the energy it needs to run from temperature and atmospheric pressure changes in the environment, and can run for years without human intervention. My dad was given one in 1970 for 30 years as a Texaco dealer (service station owner). It is still running great in my living room! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I figure it's worth about $1000. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
