Atmos is a technology that uses atmospheric changes and pressure in the air to power the movement of the clock, and is invented in 1927 by a swiss engineer name Jean-Leon Reutter.
The Atmos Marqueterie "Quatre Saisons" shares the same mechanism as the rest of the Atmos. However the reason, which makes this specific Atmos more noteworthy than the other Atmos is because of its attention in the design. The cabinet of this clock is created by Jerome Boutteçon a marquetry artisan based in Sainte-Croix and nominated French "craftsman of the year" in 1994. To create the cabinet it requires using over 100 types of wood and, more than 2000 parts were delicately fashioned to create a faithful reproduction of the 4 motifs of the seasons. Eventually the process of completing the 25 Atmos Marqueterie "Quatre Saisons" took Boutteçon more than two years time.
