Fascinating side-shots of the JLC automatic movement cal. 920, which debuted in 1967, built into (from above to below).....

- the Audemars Piguet 5402 to become the AP cal. 2121

- the Vacheron Constantin 222 to become the VC cal. 1121

- the Patek Philippe Nautilus 3700 to become the PP cal. 28-255

Cheers, HSTE




A great and thin automatic movement. One of the thinnest, if my memory serves me well. [nt]

Too bad JLC has not its “Genta style watch” (not the case of the VC however) with its own caliber inside

Genta Style. Not Genta watch. Ref 24000-42, Cal 906, Chronometer.



Well played. This one is probably the best example of what a JLC “Genta style” could have been

Perfect period and, in addition, a very rare timepiece. Maybe a little bit more “macho look” would have been interesting but that’s not the main point here.

Best wishes

I will try to find other examples. [nt]

How much real change is there or is it more cosmetic. [nt]

Thanks Nicolas for providing this. I actually never opened one of those three for - I guess - obvious reasons.

Amazing trilogy!

 
 By: JToddH : February 8th, 2018-09:33
Though I really like AP implementation the best (of the three).  Regardless, extraordinary results for all of them.

Thanks Todd. I tend to be in the same camp, i.e. AP

Very cool!

From the time when JLC was the "watchmakers watchmaker"!

Indeed, quite a special situation: producing a top notch movement without using it for the own watch line.
