INTRODUCTION
With its know-how and long tradition
of inventiveness, the Jaeger-LeCoultre
Manufacture has shown exceptional
creativity since 1833, resulting in a level
of technical expertise that has led to
the design of some of the most sig-
nificant complications of the early 21st
century.
With an exceptional mastery of watch-
making, Jaeger-LeCoultre seeks to con-
stantly push the limits of the imagination
with each new creation, thus blending
aesthetic appearance, technical perfor-
mance, and unique functions.
With the Master Hybris Mechanica
Calibre 184 model, the Grande Maison
of the Vallée de Joux has once again
produced an exceptional creation that
combines elegance, the best of watch-
making tradition, and the very latest in
innovation.
With an overall thickness of only 14.08
mm, the watch is a prime example of in-
novative design, drawing on 12 dierent

32
patents. The entire process of develop-
ing this new model has been guided by
the twin bywords of ingenuity and per-
formance.
The Master Hybris Mechanica Calibre
184 features the signature Jaeger-
LeCoultre 5th generation Gyrotourbillon,
a Perpetual Calendar, and a new Minute
Repeater with a Westminster chime.
ACCURACY AND
PRECAUTIONS
FOR USE
MANUALLY WOUND
MECHANICAL MODELS
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

ENGLISH
33
is subject to the influence of gravity,
magnetic fields, 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 activities could be the
cause of slight irregularities in the work-
ing of your timepiece. If you observe a
discrepancy in the way your watch runs,
we advise you to entrust it to an au-
thorised 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 ac-
tions, such as golf or tennis.
WATER RESISTANCE
Your Jaeger-LeCoultre watch is water-
resistant to 5 bar. Its water resistance
can be identified by the symbol
and/or the engraving: “5 bar” on the
case-back. This means that your model
has been tested at an overpressure of

34
5 bar, corresponding to an immersion
pressure of 50 metres (1 bar = ±10 me-
tres).
In accordance with the ISO 22810/
NIHS 92-20 standard, in order to guar-
antee the durability of the watch’s
characteristics over time, and as water
resistance may be aected 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 peri-
od in which it is liable to undergo pro-
longed and/or regular immersions.
- check when making the purchase that
the bracelet is suitable for the intended
use.
- avoid subjecting the watch to exces-
sively abrupt temperature changes.
- protect the watch from being dropped
or suering other accidental impacts,

ENGLISH
35
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 posi-
tions, (or where applicable, close the
compression keys) after every manip-
ulation.
- rinse the watch with fresh water after
use in sea water.
You may use your watch while swim-
ming as long as you do not exceed the
immersion pressure and do not engage
in any water sports that could cause im-
pacts. This watch is not a piece of div-
ing 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
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 production of your
watch, which go beyond ocial 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 assem-
bled, 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 mod-
els 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, resist-
ance to variations in temperature and
