Please, does anyone know if JLC provided Vacheron with the raw auto movement for the cal 1019/1?
Thank you.

It doesn't look like it to me, what do you think?

Sadly, I'm not versed with JLC automatic movements...
In attempting to direct and to some degree control my watch 'addiction;' to collect 'the best' of pre- quartz Cal development, I've concluded I must look outside JLC, to AP and perhaps Vach for JLC's best work...
I have the stellar JLC auto Cal920 w/ Gyromax balance in its AP Cal 2120 iteration... I almost had the manual Cal 1002/2 also with Gyromax, but sent it back as it was damaged...

I think the manual wind versions used in the old Vach watches, to me at least, are far more attractive than the autos.

Yes, I agree.
