you can't go wrong with this one (also love the black)

I got a watch winder from the JLC boutique so I just use that (in some cases you might get it as a gift!). In alternative going ahead is very easy just you can't easily go back if you go ahead too many days so I suggest a winder. I have too many watches b...

No, i have no Portugeser perpetual calendar. This watch remembers me about the IWC. Sure, the watches are not similar at many points. Is this some kind of family bands? Richemont, or any other reasons the looks are in the same design language? Not rare in...
umh may be ! but all the IWC I have

have certainly a larger and thicker DNA I don't think the movement are shared wither but then again there might be some similarities. A lot of perpetual calendar do look similar (e.g. Montblanc) perhaps the moon phase?
A bit teasing

Do not take it to seriously. I tease a bit.
I think the complication must be related to IWC

Dead giveaway is seeing the identical locations of moon, date, month and day of week; the clincher is 4 digit year indication in the same place. That’s not a coincidence. It could easily be licensed, adapted and thinned. Much easier than reinvented. Cazal...
well spotted!!

for me the bigger give away is the full year on the Botton left. I think that IWC used some JLC movements in the past. In this particular watch I think it is a perpetual calendar module over an automatic movement but I will leave it to the experts to say ...
It’s an IWC movement
By: Lanteanflux : September 22nd, 2020-02:49
This is an IWC kurt klaus movement that JLC used. They updated it recently with their blue enamel series so expect it to go into regular production one day and replace your model , notably it moved the offputting off centre year window inside. ...
I agree
By: cazalea : September 22nd, 2020-09:39
and I agree. This is a different implementation of the perpetual calendar. The positions are rotated around 180 degrees and the year shuffled over into the center in two bits. Cazalea
how ?
By: christianch : September 22nd, 2020-04:32
The IWC movement for the perpetual is based on an ETA and bigger watchbase.com the perpetual calendar module is a similar technology but is certainly not the same movement watchbase.com
sorry for the misunderstanding..I was replying to lanteanflux
By: christianch : September 22nd, 2020-09:59
that wrote " It’s an IWC movement "it is certainly not a movement but possibly the same module. I am not an expert but after buying the watch I learned that it was a module on the top of the JLC caliber. Not that it matters that much but there are some di...
Myistery solved!

is a JLC base caliber with the IWC module www.watchprosite.com and other sources online confirm this. Thanks for pointing this out
