Is this really an in-house caliber or another rebadged / slightly modified Seiko?

Tag has already said they would be using parts supplied by Seiko for the 1887, so not sure this one would be any different...

Apologies- I created a second topic.

No, no Seiko (or anything else) in this design.

The Seiko part in the 1887 is the hairspring/ assortment- in some movements. Some 1887s use Seiko, some use Atokalpa (part of Parmigiani Fleurier).

The Calibre 1969 will only use hairsprings/ assortments from Atokalpa

That's good. Not that Seiko is bad, but it's great that TAG is making it's own in-house caliber.
