Can anyone tell me anything about the Atmos clock model no 220.001.0? I believe it was produced in a limited run perhaps in the mid-80s. I inherited it last year. It was going but I decided to get it serviced (I don't think it ever had been)and it is now with Nick Hacko, the Atmos specialist in Sydney. He's replaced one or two parts I believe and has it all back together but is having a bit of difficulty in getting it to keep good time. Any info on the model etc would be appreciated. |

Hello, according to the Jean Lebet book it is a Prestige model with the cal. 551. It was in the catalog from 1981 to 1988. The Prestige was the successor to the 1979 Jubile model which was limited to 1.500 pieces. |

The name is "Von der Luft Leben - Die Geschichte der Pendeluhr Atmos" which means "to live on air - the history of...". It is in German and I don�t know if there is an English translation available. |
