The original Vendome is one of the many styles produced based on the caliber 526. The first Vendome was catalogued in 1962, with variations in 1969 and 1972. A second series of Vendome's based on the caliber 540 was produced in the 1990s. Atmos Vendome caliber 540 with marble base and fluted columns. White ring dial with Roman numerals. Breguet hands. Both the dial and the generally architectural design of this clock are reminiscent of classicism. This is why it became famous under the names "Style", "Empire" or "Directoire". The partial greenish lacquer finish is reminiscent of oxidized bronze. The Atmos Vendome was produced in different variations and with different movement calibres. It appeared with a gold-plated base or with a marble base. The first Vendome was produced in 1962.
