Caliber 896, great performance!!!
Hello everybody...
I downloaded an application called WatchDrift (for Mac) to get more information about my watches performance. I have measured my three JLCs for a week and I am surprised about my Master Ultra Thin performance (Caliber 896).
This watch has had a variation of 1.3 seconds (of increment) per day (approximately)!!! My other two watches owns caliber 899 and caliber 751a/1 and both has daily variations of more than 7 seconds.
Do you know if caliber 896 has been used for another important manufacture? What can you tell about caliber 896? Please, share your knowledge...
Note: I know this application it's not comparable with the specialized tools used by the watchmakers, but gives more information besides my perception.
Thank you.

There are a few differences between the 896 and the 889/ 899.
The 896 has a small seconds and no date, while the 889 / 899 has a central second and a date. Despite these differences, the 896 and the 899 are very close, technically. There is no reason the 896 is better than the 899, and vice versa. JLC preconises to ...
So...the 899 must perform very similar.
Thanks Nicolas, I will send my two other watches to the JLC Boutique... Thanks also for the beautiful picture you posted, now I have a new wallpaper... Regards,
