Introduction
We congratulate you on the acquisition of your Jaeger-LeCoultre watch, and
thank you for your condence.
We invite you to consult the operating instructions and hope your Jaeger-
LeCoultre timepiece brings you great enjoyment.
Accuracy
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 inuence of gravity, magnetic 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 would
advise you to entrust it to an authorised Jaeger-LeCoultre retailer who will per-
form the necessary adjustments.
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 perform-
ing a maintenance service, your Jaeger-LeCoultre authorisedTechnical
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 3 atm. The water resistance of
your watch is identiable by a symbol engraved on the back.This means
that your timepiece has been tested at an immersion pressure corresponding to
30 metres, according to the number of atmospheres appearing next to the above-
mentioned symbol (1 atm = approx. 10 metres).

20
You may use your watch during short swims and when jumping in from the edge of a
swimming pool, but not from a diving board.Your watch must not be used for scuba
diving, nor for sports involving signicant risk of impact, such as windsurng or water-
skiing.Also note that leather straps are not suited to aquatic activities.
It is vital to have the water resistance of your watch checked by an authorised Jaeger-
LeCoultre retailer before any period during which it is liable to undergo prolonged
and/or regular immersions.
“1000 Hours Control” test
Jaeger-LeCoultre submits all its watches to the stringent“1000 Hours Control”, a
unique battery of comprehensive and rigorous tests lasting a full 1000 hours.
The“1000 Hours Control”seal or legend placed or engraved on the back of your
watch certies that the latter has undergone this programme of observation in
our laboratories and has successfully passed all the tests relating to regularity
of rate, temperature, atmospheric pressure, resistance to shocks and magnetic
elds, as well as water-resistance trials.Your watch is thus capable of withstanding
the daily stresses and strains that await it when worn on your wrist.
The criteria of the “1000 Hours Control” programme considerably exceed the
standards of ofcial timing tests, which deal only with part of the movement.
Jaeger-LeCoultre tests not only the movement prior to its being cased up in the
watch, but also the watch as a whole.
