Historical Significance – Caliber 916

Introduced in 1969, the Caliber 916 was Jaeger-LeCoultre’s groundbreaking high-frequency automatic movement. Beating at 28,800 vibrations per hour, it offered enhanced accuracy and reliability, putting JLC ahead of many competitors at the dawn of the quartz era. The 916 was also one of the earliest JLC calibers to feature a date function, making it both practical and innovative. 

The 875E, powered by this movement, stands as a perfect expression of 1970s design and technical ambition—a rare combination in vintage collecting.

This piece isn’t just a timekeeper—it’s a mechanical milestone, a collector's treasure, and a statement of timeless style.
