Historical Context
Engineering an Atmosphere
Introduced as one of the most decorative interpretations of the celebrated Atmos clock, the Marina series reflects Jaeger-LeCoultre's ability to combine extraordinary mechanical innovation with elegant mid-century design. Produced in Switzerland during the 1960s and 1970s, these distinctive clocks paired the remarkable Atmos movement with beautifully decorated Lucite panels inspired by nature and marine life
Decorative Interpretation
The Underwater Marina
The black Lucite panel is decorated with an elegant underwater scene featuring tropical fish gliding through graceful aquatic plants beneath a secluded island. Executed in finely applied gilt decoration, the composition creates remarkable depth while framing the dial with exceptional balance and refinement.
