I knew IWC used JLC movement in some of its watches in the past. I am interested to know what kind of IWC used JLC movement?

Thanks,

Felix

Best Regards,

Felix

Off the top of my head, the Mark XII (although the later ones had an IWC-modified ETA movement, I think).

I'm sure there were others.

The classic Ingenieur had it -IWC modified the movement and even put a platinum tip on the rotor. Without checking, I think it was Ref. 3521. Also the small Portuguese used a JLC movement, as did the mecaquartz chronos.

As Mike pointed out, the Small Portuguese (ref 3531) had a JLC automatic movement. Here are some pictures of the watches and the movement.

I think the IWC GST Alarm used a JLC movement too. You can search the archives for details on that.

The Novecento ref. 3546 had a base movement from JLC where the IWC perpetual calendar module was added.

Also,
1. Novecento small seconds, ref 2550 = cal 822
2. Novecento Automatc, ref 3226 = cal 960
3. Venezia, ref 2553 = cal (1)822
4. Novecento PC, ref 3546 = cal 96061
5. Da Vinci chronograph (meca-quartz) ref 3728 = cal 961 (same as Inge, less alarm cal 633)
6. Portofino chronograph, ref 3731 = cal 631
7. Romain demi-plat automatic, ref 3209 = cal 889/1
8. Romain demi-plat manual, ref 2009 = cal 849
9. Portofino extra-plat, ref 2010 = cal 849
10. Da Vinci for ladies, ref 3735 = cal 630 (meca-quartz, chrono+moonphase)
11. GST chronograph, ref 3727 = cal 631 (meca-quartz)
12. Deep One, ref 3527 = cal 891(14)

Indeed, the IWC GST Alarm used the Cal 917

See a write up of it here.

Thanks all for the prompt reply. There are quite a lot of watches were using JLC movements. Most of the names are the first time for me to hear. Thanks for the information.

Hi Stz, whichwatch, thanks for sharing the photos. This is my first time to see the 3521, 3546. They are very elegant watches. Thanks for sharing.... The all look very thin, especially the 3546, from a PPC prespective

Best Regards,

Felix

You can add also Ingenieur 3521/ 9239 with JLC 887/2 and by the way here you can get the info about all watches before year 2001 with indication of movements:
