    Introduction We would like to thank you for the confidence you have placed in Jaeger-LeCoultre. Our Mai- son has applied all its expertise and passion to the creation of this model. We invite you to consult the operating instruc- tions and hope your Jaeger-LeCoultre clock brings you great enjoyment.
  • Page 4 ingly simple. In a hermetically closed capsule is a gaseous mixture which expands when the temperature rises and contracts when it falls. Connected to the clock’s drive spring, the cap- sule swells like the bellows of an accordion, constantly winding up the clock movement. Between 15 and 30 degrees Celsius, a tempera- ture fluctuation of a single degree is enough to provide the clock with an operating autonomy...

    Atmos , the clock that lives on air ® Temperature variations are its source of power. Its balance wheel will oscillate as long as the sun shines. Rises in temperature expand the gaseous mix- ture trapped in the expansion chamber, which in turn compresses the winding spring.

    A conventional quartz clock with moon phase indication stays thoroughly accurate for two or three years. The most highly perfected mechan- ical watches, a field in which Jaeger-LeCoultre excels, deviate by one day in 122 years; the Atmos® clock, for its part, is designed to dis- play the moon phases with exceptional accura- cy for more than 4,000 years.

    Phases de Lune The Atmos® clock is a very high-precision instru- ment manufactured with technologies which only the Jaeger-LeCoultre master-clockmak- ers are capable of handling. The power need- ed for this clock to operate is extremely low, which means that your Atmos® clock must be placed on a completely stable horizontal sur- face (chest of drawers, console, etc.) to ensure...

  • Page 9: Precautions For Use

    Important: For transport, use the complete original packaging. If necessary, ask our deal- er to replace the necessary parts. Precautions for use LOCKING AND UNLOCKING THE BALANCE WHEEL The Atmos® clock balance wheel, which is sus- pended from an extremely fine wire, must be locked before any transportation, even for small moves within an apartment, as well as for setting the time.
  • Page 10 the first locking system. To do this, gently tip your Atmos® clock over so as to gain access to the underside of the clock’s base. Unscrew the screw in its centre as far as it can turn. The second system, consisting of a locking le- ver, should be released only after setting the time (see section on Setting the Time).
  • Page 11 The locking is only fully effective when the lever is pushed totally to the right, right up against the metal part. CORRECT INCORRECT POSITION, POSITION the lever has not been pushed as far as it can go Then, gently tip your Atmos® clock over so as to gain access to the underside of the clock’s base.

  • Page 12: Using And Setting The Clock

    cated under the balance wheel, make an addi- tional one-quarter turn while blocking it with your hand. Using and setting your clock OPENING THE CABINET The Atmos® Classique Phases de Lune clock has a glazed door at the front, which must be handled carefully in order not to damage it.
  • Page 13 2. Incline the door very slightly towards you. Ensure you do not tilt the door too much while it is still in the groove of the base, so as to avoid damaging the bottom of the glass pane. 3. Lift the door upwards by sliding it in parallel with the cabinet’s metal supports for a centi- metre or so, so as to completely free the door from the base, and then pull the door up to-...
  • Page 14 The corners of the glazed door are extreme- ly fragile, so make sure you release them very delicately from the base and the metal sup- ports so as not to break the glass. ENSURING THE CLOCK IS LEVEL For your Atmos® Classique Phases de Lune clock to work correctly, its base must be per- fectly horizontal.
  • Page 15 Spirit level Screws for the adjust- able feet The Atmos® Classique Phases de Lune clock rests on three feet, one of which is fixed (at the rear) while the other two are adjustable. When you have placed your clock in its permanent position, you can easily perform level setting by screwing or unscrewing each of the two ad- justable front feet.
  • Page 16 To set the months, push end A of the small tool provided with the Atmos® clock into the aper- ture located in the centre of the disc indicating the lunations and turn it (in either direction) up to the desired month, bearing in mind that the month appears centred in its aperture on the 15th of the month.
  • Page 17 the centre of the moon disc and turn in a clock- wise direction until the moon is perfectly centred. If you decide to set the month more accurately at the start of the month, a new moon setting will also need to be performed. SETTING THE TIME Never perform time setting without first mak- ing sure that the balance wheel is locked.
  • Page 18 the dial. Lower the lever by pressing it slightly while moving it to the left. Make sure you do not touch the balance wheel during this oper- ation. Once released, the balance wheel begins to oscillate slowly. If the balance wheel remains motionless: - Check the level setting.

If, after about one month’s opera- tion (one month is still needed to ensure that the balance wheel is completely stabilised), you observe that it is gaining or losing time slightly, you can correct this using the adjusting lever which is located at the top of the movement.
