====== JLC 633 ====== **Calibre 633** was a [[quartz]] watch movement with a mechanical [[chronograph]] developed by [[Jaeger-LeCoultre]] and also used by [[IWC]]. Calibre 633 was a member of the [[Jaeger-LeCoultre Mechaquartz]] family. It was the most complicated movement in the family, with 27 jewels and an alarm function. There are two motors in the calibre * One powers the main timekeeping hands at a frequency of 1 Hz * A second powers the mechanical chronograph at 4 Hz Since the chronograph is mechanical, it has the same feel as a conventional chronograph movement, including mechanical zero reset. Yet the Mechaquartz was much more compact than a conventional automatic chronograph movement. Calibre 633 differed from Calibre 630 and 631 in that it included an [[alarm]] function. Note There is conflicting information on the quartz frequency, with some sources claiming dual 1 KHz and 4 KHz crystals and others claiming 32 KHz. ===== Applications ===== Calibre 633 was used in chronograph watches in the 1980's and 1990's, though not as widely as [[JLC 631|Calibre 631]] * [[Jaeger-LeCoultre Heraion Chronograph Reveil]] * [[IWC Ingenieur Chronograph Alarm]] ===== External Links ===== * [[http://www.qahill.com/tz/mq/mq.html|Mechaquartz Chronographs]] **Manufacturer:** * [[Jaeger-LeCoultre]] **Description:** * [[Quartz]] movement with mechanical [[chronograph]] **Functions:** * Hour, minute hands * Small seconds at 6 00 * Alarm * Chronograph with 30 minute and 12 hour subdials at 9 00 and 3 00, respectively **Data:** * H 3.8 mm * D 23.3 mm * 27 jewels * Frequency 32 KHz **Production period:** * 1980's {{tag>Movements Quartz_movements Jaeger-LeCoultre_calibres Jaeger-LeCoultre_quartz_calibres Jaeger-LeCoultre_Mechaquartz_calibres}}
