The Green Atmos

One of my all-time favorite films is The Red Violin.  If you have not seen it - I BEG YOU - treat yourself! It is a visually breathtaking movie, and the story is one that will appeal to any true watch collector.  The story follows - yes - a red violin, one that was made by an Italian master instrument maker hundreds of years ago, and the journey that this violin takes through space and time.

I would like to introduce you to the Green Atmos -

As is often the case, I stumbled upon this treasure at Ali's place.  Ali, sadly, has moved from Santa Barbara to a new home around two hours north.  But I stopped by after work for a coffee, and one thing led to another.

As near as I can tell, Wendy and I are now at least the third owners of this beautiful time-machine.  We have seen a bit of the service history as it has been recorded on the underside of the packing box lid.

It may still need a service - early days yet, but all things being equal I can live with that.

And as to why I have dubbed it the "Green" Atmos -

I am not sure if this is the original box or one that somehow joined the box over time.
Ours is a Jaeger-LeCoultre, and the box is labeled "Le Coultre".  Better, brighter pictures
in the morning!
