Introduction
We congratulate you on the acquisition of your Jaeger-LeCoultre watch, and
thank you for your confi dence in us.
We invite you to consult the operating instructions and hope your Jaeger-
LeCoultre timepiece brings you great enjoyment.
Accuracy and precautions for use
Manually-wound or automatic mechanical watches
The accuracy of watch models with mechanical movements is determined by the
balance. This oscillates at a rate of 21,600 or 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 infl uence of gravity, magnetic fi elds, accidental impacts and the ageing of
the oils. The accuracy of a watch is measured by its regularity of rate in various
positions.
Your individual temperament and your activities could be the cause of slight ir-
regularities. If you observe a discrepancy in the running of your watch, we advise
you to entrust it to an authorised Jaeger-LeCoultre retailer who will perform the
necessary adjustments. Watches with mechanical movements must not be used
for sports involving signifi cant risk of impact 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
maintenance, your offi cial Jaeger-LeCoultre Service Centre or your author-
ised Jaeger-LeCoultre retailer will recover such components and ensure
they are disposed of in accordance with the standards in force.
Water resistance
Your Jaeger-LeCoultre watch is water-resistant to 10 bar/atm. The water resist-
ance 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).
