====== JLC 814 ====== **Calibre 814** was a [[manual winding]] [[alarm]] [[movement]] from [[Jaeger-LeCoultre]]. Introduced in [[1953]], Calibre 814 joined [[JLC 489|Calibres 489 and 601]] in the [[Jaeger-LeCoultre Memovox]] range. Essentially an improved version of Calibre 489, Cal. 814 would be produced until [[1964]], when it was replaced by the popular [[JLC 910|Calibres 910 and 911]]. In [[1956]], Jaeger-LeCoultre also introduced an automatic version of the Memovox, using [[JLC 815|Calibres 815 and 825]]. Calibre 814 was also available with [[Parachoc]] [[shock protection]] as **Calibre P814** and with [[Kif]] shock protection as **Calibre K814**. As in Cal. 489, the alarm hammer struck a protuberance on the back plate, making a distinctive buzzing sound. Even if the alarm was not wound, the hammer rattled freely against the protuberance. ===== Specifications ===== * 12.5 [[ligne]]s in diameter, 5.2 mm thick * [[Glucydur]] balance, automatically compensating flat [[hairspring]] * 18,000 A/h * [[Double barrel]] (time and alarm) * Direct sweep seconds * 17 [[jewel]]s * Alarm hammer inside case back {{wst>template_jaeger-lecoultre_alarm_calibres}} ===== External Links ===== * [[http://omegaforums.net/threads/a-little-potted-history-of-the-memovox-my-recently-acquired-cal-911.4480/|A Little Potted History Of The Memovox & My Recently Acquired Cal 911]] * [[http://www.adamvintage.com/jaeger-lecoultre-memovox.html|Three Cheers for Memovox!]] {{tag>Movements Manual_winding_movements Jaeger-LeCoultre_calibres Jaeger-LeCoultre_Memovox_calibres Alarm_movements}}
