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!
