Hope you’re well Jamie! Sadly haven’t seen too much from you lately.

It's incredible that this design is almost 100 years old

So you could say its solar powered but not with light but with the warmth of the sun instead.

If buying used, it pays to be patient for the right deal. I would only purchase from a reputable watch / clock shop who services them. Less than two months ago, I happened to find mine at such a business just a couple miles from my home. I paid $1,000 for a 1970's Atmos (time only) in great shape and serviced. It runs great at 540 deg amplitude.

This is downright cool. And of course stunningly beautiful.

Funny stuff

Nice

Congrats Jamie, Love the moon phase!

My first ‘real’ watch was a new JLC Reverso. Just a beautiful beautiful watch, badly let down by a cheap dial. This was @ 2000, so maybe things have changed. A real shame though. JLC keep shooting themselves in the foot. Look at where AP has climbed to versus ever pedestrian JLC over the last 10 years. They were equals, but now AP’s trade in the rarefied air of PP.

Did the guy have armed security himself?

It seems like such a poor ‘robbery’, it’s so obviously a set up…how did they think they were going to get away with it?

Is it an insurance scam all along?

Why the HUGE reward when they know who did it? A quarter million $ reward for the return of the watches, sure, but just info when they have a photo???

CONGRATS Jamie, What a great piece, I want one too, but in the silver. Great choice.

I’ve bought all my Atmos clocks second hand, but restored and serviced by an expert first. I’d rather two second hand clocks than one new one, but we’re thankfully all different, and to each their own.

Wedding anniversary gift to your WIFE? Lucky, lucky girl….

Where did you get your B roll footage on how the dial is made? If that’s part of a wider video of a documentary somewhere, I’d love to see it.

👏👏

Great content mate ❤😂

Great video, Red was the star of the show

Nice work my friend.

Great job storytelling. I really enjoyed it!

Jamie, you are really on to something!!! Well done you!

The title should be: An Anglo-Saxon in New York

It's about time gonzo Jamie, full review of this masterpiece video

Upvoted and comment for the algorithms! Well done Jamie!👍👍👍

Absolutely brilliant Gonzo Jamie! I think that Red ‘Sluggo’ (oops 🫢) may be the star of this video. What do you think? Thank you for capturing all of this on film. A true masterpiece to look back on in the future. ✊

Great recap video Jamie!

Love it Gonzo Jamie

Great content Jamie!

Brilliant, fun video. Your a lot of fun to be around with 😊

"I'm an Anglo Saxon" --Jamie Opulence

As mentioned below, the thin wire doesn't drive the clock. the gas-filled bellows does. Inside the large cylinder on the back is a special sealed, concertina shaped canister. This canister is filled with a special gas, ethyl chloride, which expands and contracts at very subtle temperature changes of plus or minus a 1/4 degree or so. So as the bellows goes in and out, a gear train winds the mainspring. The thin wire acts as a torsion spring, allowing the rotor to spin in both directions for the duration of 30 seconds in each direction. The rotor hangs from the spring with no other physical contact within the clocks works save for a small contact with the pallet fork to move the minute hand, 30 seconds at a time. If you move it without capturing the rotor with the stop mechanism, don't sweat it. Unless you took it on a horse ride. But seriously, it is very delicate indeed. What kills them is when they get twisted by people who think that's how you wind it up. Yes, it has happened. And the clock hands must never be turned anti-clockwise. That can cause terrible issues with the pallet fork and related gears. However, once this clock is set up properly, on a dead-level and stable surface, occasional adjustments will be required due to seasonal time changes and basic stabilization duration. If you move the hands too far in advance, just move the locking lever in place when the balance has just completed its rightward turn. Then just wait whatever the difference of time is and pull the lever back to the run position.

This is beyond cool. 😍

Beautiful watch!!!!

I'd like a 50 cm model. If only I could afford it.

Great clock ! Hope it's still running well. This is not pink but yellow gold version though.

I appreciate you sharing your first run. I enjoyed it. Quite the machine.

Wait wtf im confused your using leather conditioner on a coated canvas bag ??? That really doesn’t make sense does it ? Your nourishing a canvas bag with leather conditioner is this an April fools joke or something ? What you put polish on first then conditioner your definitely pullin our leg you used a conditioner to seal the bag not the polish ?

Monsieur Gonzo Jamie - It's now officially on my hunt list ATM - love the way the blue can turn purple - pure class -

Can anyone tell me where I can take it to get it serviced? In Houston area. Or what kind of place. I called around and some just have a dumb look on there face and some want to buy it from me. The other tell me so send it to JLC. I do t know how to ship something that fragile

I just found one at a pawn shop for $200. Needs a good cleaning. And it’s in the locked position. Mine says the full name on dial and on movement along with 15 jewels. Why so some say the full name and some say “LeCouture” ?

That watch is absolutely stunning. I just purchased the 24 model 41D. It’s arriving Monday. I’m so excited to wear it with a nice suit or jeans & t shirt. Some say it’s a little too much bling but I think it’s the most beautiful watch out there for the price. I have a Cartier Chronograph Roadster and I’m saddened to see it selling for way less than its retail value. Not that I would sell it as I love that watch, it’s a classic but I thought it would of held some value I also have the Breitling GMT Chronograph which is my go to watch as I got a big wrist. It’s feels and looks good. But I’m so happy to welcome this Bluesy to my collection. One day I would love an AP or PP or definitely the Daytona yellow gold with the green dial. Enjoy your watch, wear it in good health. Great video. Noel
