As a matter of fact, many vintage Jaeger Lecoultre Atmos clocks have hands with those 'burnt looking' black tips. They are 100% original and authentic. I always thought the black tips are supposed to increase the readability as many parts of the dial and movement have the same color as the hands.
I also own an old Atmos clock (5800) with these hands.
