====== Venus 230 ======
Calibre **230** (and the similar calibres **231** and **232**) is an [[alarm movement]] from [[Venus]] produced from [[1954]] through [[1966]].

Cal. 230 was the first alarm movement from [[Venus]], offering several novel features 

  * An aperture in the dial showed whether the alarm was engaged or not
  * The alarm and time-keeping functions run from the same [[barrel]], unlike most other alarm movements
  * A second crown at 4 00 must be pulled to enable the alarm, rather than pulled to silence it as on the [[Jaeger-LeCoultre]] [[Jaeger-LeCoultre Memovox|Memovox]]

Cal. 230 lasted in production from [[1954]] through [[1966]]. About 1,000 larger 12 [[ligne]] **Cal. 231** movements were produced between [[1956]] and [[1958]]. A third variant, **Cal. 232**, added a date display and parking meter function and was produced from [[1959]] through [[1966]].
