LE COULTRE BABY ATMOS 15 JEWEL 1954 PERPETUAL MOTION CLOCK 526-5 box BLUE SCREWS

HAS THE DESIRABLE "BLUED SCREWS". WE ARE QUITE SURE THIS IS THE "BABY" MODEL.

BE SURE TO CHECK OUT THE VIDEO: WE SHOW THE CLOCK AS IT WORKS! WHEN WE ACQUIRED THE CLOCK, THE WHEEL WAS PROPERLY LOCKED. WHEN WE RELEASED THE LOCK, THE CLOCK BEGAN KEEPING TIME, THE WHEEEL MOVING LEFT-TO-RGHT AND THEN RETURNING FROM RIGHT-TO-LEFT.

WE WILL WATCH THE CLOCK FOR 5 DAYS AND ADD ANY INFO WE DISCOVER AS FAR AS THE ITEM KEEPING PROPER TIME. WE BELIEVE THIS TO BE THE "BABY" MODEL AS THESE ARE THE DIMENSIONS OF THE CLOCK AS IT SITS ON THE SHELF: 8 3/4" TALL X 6 1/2" WIDE X 4 7/8 DEEP.

"SWITZERLAND UNADJUSTED" IS INCISED INTO THE METAL. THE ITEM IS A "15 JEWEL" CLOCK. AGAIN, THE SERIAL NUMBER IS 76335.

THIS CLOCK APPEARS TO HAVE BEEN WONDERFULLY PRESERVED ALL OF THESE DECADES IN THE ORIGINAL BOX. IN MY READING, I HAVE DISCOVERED THAT THE ITEM WILL RUN PERPETUALLY FOR 20 YEARS OR MORE WITHOUT SERVICING.

HOWEVER, THE CLOCK SHOULD BE SERVICED EVERY 20 YEARS. WE RECENTLY ACQUIRED THIS ITEM AT AN ESTATE SALE IN PALOS VERDES, CALIFORNIA. CONDITION: ON THE UNDERSIDE, WE SEE PORTIONS OF A GASKET. THE GASKET MATERIAL HAS HARDENED OVER TIME AND SHOULD BE REPLACED, WE ARE QUITE SURE.

ALSO, THE UNDERSIDE OF THE CLOCK COULD USE SOME CLEANING. NOT SURE HOW MUCH OF THE STAINING, ETC. THE GOLD-COLORED METAL CASE SHOWS SOME SLIGHT RUB, THE WORST OF IT IN THE LAST PHOTO ON THE TOP RIGHT CORNER WHEN VIEWING THE ITEM FROM THE FRONT - SEE THE LAST PHOTO. THE CLOCK, IN BOX, WEIGHS 8 POUNDS, 8 OUNCES.
