Jaeger-LeCoultre and Marc Newson collaborated on a series of clocks debuted at the Watches and Wonders 2026 event to incorporate some whimsical style into an otherwise ordinary product. The clocks come in three styles including the Memovox Travel Clock alongside the Atmos Designer 568 and the Atmos Hybris Artistica Tellurium.
The Memovox Travel Clock boasts a titanium casing that houses a Calibre 256 movement within that's rated to deliver up to 12 days of use per full wind. The Atmos Designer 568 modernizes the model with the ability to achieve near-perpetual motion through its movement, while the Atmos Hybris Artistica Tellurium showcases the position of the Earth, sun and moon with the ability to track 64 constellations.
The new clocks from Jaeger-LeCoultre and Marc Newson are very limited in quantity, depending on the model, to further showcase their rare nature.
