Introduction

We would like to thank you for the confidence you have placed in Jaeger- LeCoultre. Our Maison has applied all its expertise and exacting standards to the creation of this model. We invite you to consult the operating instructions and hope your Jaeger-LeCoultre timepiece brings you great joy.

Accuracy and precautions for use

MANUALLY-WOUND OR AUTOMATIC MECHANICAL WATCHES
The accuracy of watch models with mechanical movements is determined by the balance wheel. This oscillates at a rate of 28,800 vibrations per hour. Despite all the care that the master watchmakers of the Jaeger-LeCoultre Manufacture have lavished on building and assembling your watch, its accuracy is subject to the influence of gravity, magnetic fields, acci- dental impacts, and the ageing of the oils. The accuracy of a watch is measured by its regular- ity of rate in various positions. 19
Your individual activities could be the cause of slight irregularities in the working of your timepiece. If you observe a discrepancy in the way your watch runs, we advise you to entrust it to an authorised Jaeger-LeCoultre retailer who will make the necessary adjustments. Watches with mechanical movements must not be used for sports involving significant risk of impact or abrupt actions, such as golf or tennis.

Water resistance

Your Jaeger-LeCoultre watch is water resistant up to 3 bar. Its water resistance can be identified by the symbol and/or the engraving: “3 bar” on the case-back. This means that your model has been tested at an overpressure of 3 bar, corresponding to an immersion pressure of 30 metres (1 bar = ±10 metres). In accordance with the ISO 22810/NIHS 92-20 standard, in order to guarantee the durability of the watch’s characteristics over time, and as water resistance may be affected by certain activities, it is recommended that you:

• have the watch’s water resistance checked by an authorised Jaeger-LeCoultre retailer at least once every two years. It is essential to have such a check carried out each time your watch is opened, and before any period in which it is liable to undergo prolonged and/ or regular immersions.
• check when making the purchase that the bracelet is suitable for the intended use.
• avoid subjecting the watch to excessively abrupt temperature changes. –
• protect the watch from being dropped or suffering other accidental impacts, and have the water resistance checked after any severe impact.
• avoid using the controls, push-piece, or time-setting crown while under water, or outside the water, if the watch is not yet dry after immersion.
• restore the time-setting crown and the push-pieces to their normal positions, or where applicable, close the compression keys, after every manipulation.
• rinse the watch with fresh water after use in sea water. You may use your watch while swimming as long as you do not exceed the immersion pressure and do not engage in any water sports that could cause impacts. This watch is not a piece of diving equipment and should not be used as such. Also, note that leather straps are not suited for aquatic activities.

“1000 Hours Control” test

The Jaeger-LeCoultre Manufacture pays close attention to the quality and to the final checks of its watches. The 1000 Hours Control is a series of internal qualification tests for each of the models in our collection, as well as internal tests on the pro- duction of your watch, which go beyond official timing tests. These tests include checks of the movement before and after being cased up in the watch and cover the whole watch once it has been assembled, in the conditions closest to daily wear.
The “1000 Hours Control” legend, or the “ ” seal engraved on the back of the watch certifies that each of the models from our collection has successfully undergone all of the qualification tests, and that your watch has successfully undergone all of the production tests. These ensure regularity of rate, resistance to variations in temperature and atmospheric pressure, ability to withstand shocks and magnetic fields, as well as water resistance.

Use
WINDING
Crown in position 0. A few clockwise turns of the crown are enough to set the watch running. It is then automatically wound when you wear it. Please note that the crown does not lock when winding, even when the watch is fully wound.

TIME AND DAY/NIGHT SETTING

Pull the crown out to position 1. This locks the movement. Move the hands clockwise until the desired time is reached, taking account of the day/night indication, which also  oves during the operation. At midnight, a half-moon is displayed. At midday, a sun is displayed. Then push the crown back to position 0. The watch starts running again.

Jaeger-LeCoultre Customer Service

A Jaeger-LeCoultre timepiece is a high- precision instrument that operates 24 hours a day, or 8,760 hours a year. Therefore, it is essential to have it serviced regularly in order to guarantee its good working order and its durability. If significant variations occur in the settings, it may be necessary to have the movement serviced. It is also necessary to have the water resistance of the watch checked once every two years, or prior to any period during which it will be subjected to prolonged and/or regular immersion. Maintenance and repair work must be entrusted to an authorised Jaeger-LeCoultre retailer, a Jaeger-LeCoultre Boutique, or authorised Jaeger- LeCoultre Service Centre. The list of our points of sale and service centres is available on our website: www.jaeger-lecoultre.com. You will also find this information at the end of this document, under the heading “Where to en- trust my timepiece for maintenance?”Our authorised Service Centres are staffed by watchmakers trained at the Jaeger-LeCoultre Manufacture, and have the workshops, tools, and parts required for the repair and maintenance of Jaeger-LeCoultre watches and clocks. In certain cases, especially for operations requiring special tools and parts, the Service Centres will send your watch to the Jaeger- LeCoultre Manufacture in Switzerland to have the necessary work carried out.
