Hi all This is a great forum, there is not all that much info on vintage JLC. I have a JLC dress watch with caliber K886, Case number 21007. I know its from 1967-1970, and don't really care about value. But am most interested to know about the movement itself. Base on what other movements? related to what family of movements? I know the 885 and 886 are almost identical, except the date. Is there any relation to the 881/882 automatics? Any info on this family of movements will be welcome since I cant find anything online. | ||

11 1/2 dial 30.5mm Kif shock protection. No seconds hack. Power reserve about 2 days. | ||

All I can think of it is that it is based off of the Caliber 831, which is 11 1/2 ligne, which is the larger version of the caliber 830/820/819/818 series which is itself based on the 480 all of these are 10 1/2 L. | ||

Ok, Thank you for your time. as far as I could find out, 881/2/3/5/6 are all 11.5 ligne with 19800bph, and 56 lift angle. What lead me to think that the 885/6 are the base on which the automatics are built on. Or the bare movement once the auto module is taken off. | ||

Possible too, since I don't have a photo of the 885/6 anything I am saying is speculation. | ||

Looks a lot like the 480, but larger and more modern construction. It does not look like an 881 w/o auto. http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-wZdB3ujvqWc/Tk9x0yDT3eI/AAAAAAAALCE/OsUAIdA0KLc/s1600/ DSC_0006.JPG | ||
