Nelson,

I agree that Patek make their own movements, but in many models made by
Audemars Piguet, which is one of the very rare family owned watchmakers, you
can find an ebauche which comes from Jaeger-LeCoultre. The same for IWC. JLC
is a real manufacture, 100% inhouse made movements sans exception. See
http://www.jaeger-lecoultre.com/
I am not affiliated with JLC, I have visited their manufacture (among
others).
