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
Manually-wound or automatic mechanical watches
Accuracy is ensured by the balance, which completes 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 irregulari-
ties. 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
while practicing sports which may involve impacts or abrupt actions, such as golf
or tennis for example.
Water-resistance
Jaeger-LeCoultre watches are water-resistant from 3 to 10 bar/atm, depending
on the model (see technical specifications). This property can be identified by
the
symbol engraved on the case-back. This means that your time-
piece has been tested at an immersion pressure corresponding to between
30 and 100 metres, according to the number of bar appearing next to the above-
mentioned symbol (1 bar = approx. 10 metres).
In accordance with the ISO 22810/NIHS 92-20 standards, in order to guar-
antee the durability of the watch’s characteristics over time and as the water-
resistant sealant may be affected by certain activities, it is recommended that
the user :
- have the water-resistance of the watch checked by an approved Jaeger-
LeCoultre dealer, in accordance with the recommendations of the Jaeger-
