Jaeger LeCoultre have created a limited edition of their Atmos Clock for British fashion house Dunhill.

Jaeger-LeCoultre’s Atmos Clocks are powered by slight changes in temperature needing no winding, electricity or batteries. A temperature change of one degree Celsius powers the clock for 48 hours. The clock’s spring oscillates only twice a minute instead of the average 300 times typical for a traditional wristwatch meaning the Atmos Clock uses 250 times less energy than a classic wristwatch.

This limited edition clock stands in a black varnished casing with a clear glass front; the casing is set on a black shelf with a tinted glass background that features art deco designs inspired by Dunhill’s iconic 1930s lighters and cigarette cases. The front of the shelf is inlaid with black stingray leather, a reference to Dunhill’s heritage in luxury leather. Inspired by regulators of former times; the Atmos Regulator displays hours and minutes on two separate dials. The movement, a Jaeger-LeCoultre caliber 582 appears to be suspended in mid-air.

Only twenty eight of the Jaeger LeCoultre – Atmos Regulator for Alfred Dunhill will be made and will be available exclusively from Jaeger LeCoultre stores priced at $70,600.
