Introduction
We congratulate you on the acquisition of your Jaeger-LeCoultre watch, and
thank you for your confi dence.
We invite you to consult the operating instructions and hope your Jaeger-
LeCoultre timepiece brings you great enjoyment.
Accuracy and precautions for use
Mechanical manually-wound or automatic watches
The precision of watch models with mechanical movements is determined by
the balance. The latter oscillates at a rate of 21,600 or 28,800 vibrations per
hour. Despite all the care that the master-watchmakers of the Manufacture
Jaeger-LeCoultre have lavished on building and assembling your watch, its
accuracy is subject to the infl uence of gravity, magnetic fi elds, impacts, as well
as ageing of the oils. The precision of a watch is measured by its regularity of
rate in various positions.
Your individual temperament and your activities may result in slight irregularities.
If you were to observe a discrepancy in the running of your watch, we advise
you to entrust it to an authorised Jaeger-LeCoultre retailers who will perform the
necessary adjustments. Watches with mechanical movements must not be used
while practicing sports which may involve impacts or abrupt actions, such as golf
or tennis for example.
Quartz models
Quartz models are accurate to within 2 to 3 minutes a year. Jaeger-LeCoultre
quartz watches contain a battery and electronic elements. When performing
a maintenance service, your Jaeger-LeCoultre authorised Technical
Assistance Centre or your authorised Jaeger-LeCoultre retailer will
recover such components and ensure they are eliminated in accord-
ance with the prevailing standards.
Water-resistance
Your Jaeger-LeCoultre watch is water-resistant to 10 bar/atm. The water-resistance of
your watch is identifi able by the
symbol engraved on the back. This means
that your timepiece has been tested at an overpressure of 10 bar, corresponding to
an immersion pressure of 100 metres (1 bar/atm = approx. 10 metres).
