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
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 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 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 neces-
sary adjustments.
Water resistance
Your Jaeger-LeCoultre watch is water-resistant to 5 bar. The water resistance of
your watch is identifi able by a symbol
engraved on the back. This means
that your timepiece has been tested at an immersion pressure corresponding to
50 metres, according to the number of atmospheres appearing next to the above-
mentioned symbol (1 bar = approx. 10 metres).
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 signifi cant risk of impact, such as windsurfi 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.
