“1000 HOURS CONTROL” TEST The Jaeger-LeCoultre Manufacture pays close attention to the quality and to the final checks of its watches. The 1000 Hours Control is a series of in- ternal qualification tests for each of the models in our collection, as well as inter- nal tests on the production of your watch, which go beyond official timing tests.

FUNCTIONS AND DISPLAYS The watch offers the following functions: - Hours - Minutes - Seconds - Date - Day - Month - Year - Moon phases - Perpetual Calendar - Security zone indication The perpetual calendar has a mechanism that takes into account the length of the current month (28, 30 or 31 days), and counts a 29th February every leap year.

mechanically, without the slightest need for readjustment until 1 March 2100. All these are interlinked by the ingenious mechanism of a genuine, entirely mecha- nical programme: merely changing the initial date thus effects the appropriate changes in all other functions. Our time measurement is based on the Gregorian calendar, i.e.
Page 12
(centuries divisible by 4), which are both regular leap years. It is therefore only in the year 2100 that the programming of your perpetual calendar will need to be correc- ted. Until that date, your watch will count days, months, and decades. On 1 March 2100, the calendar will indicate Monday, 29th February, whereas in fact it will be Monday, 1st March.
WINDING Your Master Ultra Thin Perpetual Calendar watch is equipped with a 38-hour power reserve, during which time it can operate without any additional winding. Crown in position 0. A few clockwise turns of the crown are enough to set the watch running. It will then automatically wind up when you wear it.
