Hi Erica,

Thank you for contacting Mearto with your appraisal inquiry.

The Atmos VIII Heritage features a classic design with a matt brushed gold-plated case and polished stands. Its beige dial showcases raised black Roman numerals at the 3, 6, 9, and 12 o'clock positions, complemented by black indexes for the remaining hours. The rotating pendulum is adorned with vertical milled stripes, adding to its elegant aesthetic. This model was produced under reference number 5909 between 1962 and 1984; if you can locate the serial number on it I can pinpoint more specifically when it was made.

Thousands of these clocks have been made and, at any given time, there are several for sale through a variety of venues, including online and brick-and-mortar auctions, clock and watch dealers and private sellers.

When offered at auction, most Atmos VIII Heritage clocks of this model sell between $200 and $400.
