for what I have seen MJLC delivers also (mainly?) finished and assembled movements for their main customers.
They also deliver to Van Cleef et Arpels, and it seems that they deliver Piaget too (just for one watch).
I know that Lemania delivers also some assembled Chronograph calibers.

Congratulations on the new Master Compressor Dualmatic. That is one of my favorite watches & contains a brand new movement design from JLC. You can be confident that JLC produces extremely high quality movements. There is a long history within the Swiss w...

I have done some compilation of movements supply to th industiw my own for some years. In the history of jlc, it was more than ebauch supplies. Many famous pieces were in fact made for other famous brands. Will post when i am home. Jaw posted via nokia n7...
I'm particularly thinking of AP and VC

Seems that many VCs I look at have characteristic signs of JLC movements! For example, isn't the Toledo based on the same movement as the JLC MM? Then there's the AP Millenary Maserati two time-zone watch whose sub-dial placement is suspiciously like that...

Not sure of ebauches delivery vs. completed movements.
By: Aalok : November 16th, 2005-04:04
I don't know the details of companies which used complete movements vs. those which used ebauches for their watches. I'd like to learn more about JLC's role as a movement supplier, so I would welcome any information on this topic. Here is a very brief lis...

JLC - AP
By: Felix : November 16th, 2005-07:07
Probably worth noting AP had an equity stake in JLC, A stake they sold to Richemont and partly used to finance the America's cup initiative. Regards

the rights and tools of caliber 2120, if I understood well (please Thomas correct if I'm wrong)! If so 2120 would be a real 100% manufacture caliber for AP now.

I enjoy looking into the historical connections in the Swiss watch industry, especially regarding JLC & F. Piguet. These topics can often be misinterpreted and serve as the foundation for making value judgements on the various companies involved. This is ...
and Breguet
By: ei8htohms : November 16th, 2005-04:16
Hi Guys, In addition to the JLC based Breguet calibers already listed in this thread (Cal. 549 and 530), Breguet also used the JLC Cal. 839 ultrathin, calling it Breguet Cal. 509 (or possibly 503, I can't remember which, the other one is the Breguet versi...
