Curiosities from the workshop…
Here I have gathered some – hopefully interesting – pictures of ATMOS clocks. Some show how not to do it, others simply show various calibres at different stages of dismantling. Bit by bit, I would like to add more pictures of “special cases” here for you.
Enjoy the pictures and – as always – if you have any questions, just send us an e‑mail! We look forward to hearing from you!
