====== JLC 889/2 ====== The **calibre 889** was a very popular thin automatic movement, produced for many years and used by many companies, including maker [[Jaeger-LeCoultre]], [[Vacheron Constantin]], and [[IWC]]. IWC used the 889 as an ebauche for their [[IWC 3254|calibre 3254]] and [[Audemars Piguet]] paired it with a [[Dubois-Depraz]] chronograph module as their [[AP 2326|Cal. 2326]]. It appeared in many ultra-thin dress watches throughout the 1990's and 2000's and remains in production today in its third revision, the 889/2. The JLC 889 is closely related to the [[JLC 899]]. The 889 includes a ball bearing [[central rotor]], held in place by a jewel-mounted rocking bar and reduction gear. It operates at 28,800 A/h, 36 [[jewels]], indirect [[central seconds]], [[Glucydur]] [[balance wheel]], and Kif [[shock protection]]. [[Manufacture]] movement of the top class, used in many watches, including the [[Jaeger-LeCoultre Master Grande Taille]] or [[IWC Ingenieur]]. ===== Ebauche Variants ===== * [[Audemars Piguet]] * AP 2124 * AP 2326 with [[Dubois-Depraz]] chronograph module * [[Vacheron Constantin]] * VC 1126 * [[IWC]] * [[IWC 3254]] * [[IWC 884]] ===== Calibre 889/440/2 ===== Jaeger-LeCoultre paired Calibre 889/2 with a [[perpetual calendar]] module to create **Calibre 889/440/2**. The perpetual calendar module was developed by [[IWC]] but produced in-house by Jaeger-LeCoultre. This was used in the [[Jaeger-LeCoultre Master Perpetual Calendar]] from [[1996]] through the introduction of the new [[JLC 868|Calibre 868]] and [[Jaeger-LeCoultre Master Ultra Thin Perpetual]] in [[2013]]. **Manufacturer:** * [[Jaeger-LeCoultre]] **Description:** * [[Self-winding]] movement, bi-directional winding * [[Escapement]] Stone lever * [[Yoke winding system]] * [[Flat hairspring]] with Spirofin [[fine regulation]] * [[Shock protection]] Kif-Ultraflex * [[Glucydur]] [[balance wheel]] * 202 components * Jaeger-LeCoultre 1000 hours Test **Functions:** * Indirect [[central seconds]] * [[Hacking seconds]] * [[Quickset date]] * Optional [[perpetual calendar]] **Data:** * 11½ [[ligne]]s * D 25.6 mm, H 3.25 mm * 36 [[jewels]] * 28,800 A/h * Power reserve 38h **Production period:** * 1970's-1990's {{tag>Movements Jaeger-LeCoultre_calibres Perpetual_calendar_movements Ultra-thin_movements}}
