====== JLC 476 ======
The **Calibre 476** was the first [[automatic]] movement from [[Jaeger-LeCoultre]].

Introduced in [[1946]], the Calibre 476 came 20 years after [[John Harwood]] and [[Blancpain]] presented the first automatic wristwatch and 15 years after the [[Rolex]] "[[Perpetual]]" went into production. It was a [[bumper]] movement, not a 360º rotor as in today's watches, but it boasted a respectable 40 hour power reserve and was accurate enough to be certified a [[chronometer]] in later years. It ran at 18,000 vph.

The 476 was the basis for the [[1948]] [[JLC 481]], the first from the company with a [[power reserve]] indicator.

Note that Cal. 476 is often stamped "**12A**", leading to confusion about the naming of this movement.
