Am I right?   Jimh Junior Member Username: Jimh Post Number: 46 Registered: 06-2007 Rating: N/A Votes: 0 (Vote!) Posted on Monday, September 08, 2008 - 08:31 am:    Are you right? Not really. There is a JLC caliber 164. Was it exclusively designed/manufactured by JLC? Well, this movement was a joint development of Doxa, Eberhard, Favre-Leuba, Girard-Perregaux, and Zodiac and is based on an AS caliber. Your example probably dates to around 1975. This movement runs at 36,000 BPH with day/date and has a Triovis regulator.
