The majority of the chronos are made by Universal Geneve and a few by Valjoux. They are not JLC brand-specific.

The caliber P478 or any of the caliber 450 based family is quite nice too and can be found at a much lower price point than the Geo and Mk 11.

Thank you so much, Zaf!

The movement found in the vintage Geopysic (P478/BWSBr) and the Mark 11 (488 Sbr) are probably the best.
Also, were these movements used in other references / models aside form the Geophysic and Mark 11? Thanks!

Recommended Vintage JLC Movements

Hi all,

I was wondering what vintage pre-1970s JLC movements (manual, automatic, chrono) would you guys consider among the best? Thanks!

JLC Chrono

Hi Zaf!

I would like to know more about this JLC chrono I saw online (sadly, it has no movement pic). I've never seen a JLC like this before. Seller claims it has a Val 23 movement. Thanks!
