Page 7: Water Resistance
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. - Page 8 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 affected by certain activities, it is recommended that you: - have the watch's water resistance...
- Page 9 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-...

- Page 14 year. The date, day of the week, month and year are therefore indicated me- chanically, without the slightest need for readjustment until 1 March 2100. All these are interlinked by an ingenious mechanism: a genuine, entirely mechan- ical programme. Thus merely changing the initial date effects the appropriate changes in all other functions.
- Page 15 perpetual calendar will need to be cor- rected. Until that date, your watch will count days, months and decades. On March 2100, the calendar will indi- cate the 29 February even though the actual date will be Monday 1 March, as such a watchmaker will need to adjust your watch.
- Page 16 This Minute Repeater chimes thanks to 4 Trebuchet hammers (2 on both sides, each with a specific function) which strike the Crystal gongs. The bottom left hammer chimes the min- utes, the bottom right hammer chimes the hours, and the 4 hammers together create a melody to chime the quarter- hours that replicates the famous sound of Big Ben in London.

Page 18: Use
Corrector Crown: -Position 0: winding -Position 1: time-setting Quick corrector between the lugs at 12 o’clock to move the Perpetual Calen- dar one day forward. The watch is wound by turning the crown clockwise. The movement is fully wound when the crown is locked. Do not attempt to wind a manually wound watch beyond the locking point. - Page 19 To ensure good operating accuracy, it is advisable to wind your watch regularly. WINDING Crown in position 0 The watch is wound by turning the crown clockwise. The movement is fully wound when the crown is locked. Do not attempt to wind a manually wound watch beyond the locking point.
- Page 20 NB: If the watch has stopped, the min- ute hand may be slightly offset from the hour-marker. When the movement is wound, it will immediately reposition it- self in front of the correct hour-marker. Be careful not to change the time when the minute repeater is activated.
- Page 21 We remind you that you should not: - Perform this calendar correction be- tween 10 pm and 6 am, as this will not lead to any change in the calendar (it will already have entered the phase where it automatically adjusts itself). - If you have adjusted the date and gone too far by one or more days, the unique mechanism of this Perpetual...

- Page 23 ACTIVATING THE MINUTE REPEATER FUNCTION The Master Hybris Mechanica Calibre 184 watch indicates the time by a strik- ing mechanism when its retractable push-piece is pressed. NB: Be careful not to change the time when the minute repeater is activated If the watch has stopped, the minute repeater function may not be guaran- teed.
- Page 24 Sliding down the unlocking trigger on the side of the watch-case at 9 o’clock will instantly make the time- piece’s retractable push-piece appear at 8 o’clock. Pressing the push-piece will then wind the independent bar- rel-spring so as to trigger the Minute Repeater function.
- Page 25 the watch is composed of 4 Trebuchet hammers. Two on the left: one posi- tioned at the top to chime the minutes (E) and one at the bottom that only chimes the quarter-hours (D). Two on the right: one at the top to chime the hours (G) and one at the bottom that only chimes the quarter-hours (C) (Figure 1).
- Page 26 note, while the quarter-hours play a different melody depending on which quarter-hour it is (i.e. 1 to 4 bars, from the first quarter hour up to the full hour). When the watch chimes the first quar- ter-hour (between 15 and 29 minutes), it will chime the first bar of 4 notes.
- Page 27 e s t m i n s t e r h i m e s 5 bars of 4 notes First quarter-hour Second quarter-hour Third quarter-hour Fourth quarter-hour Figure 2 Let’s take the example of the watch chiming at 14 minutes past 12 o’clock (Figure 3).
