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 performing maintenance, your offi cial Jaeger-LeCoultre Service Centre or your author- ised Jaeger-LeCoultre retailer will recover such components and ensure they are disposed of in accordance with the standards in force.
Furthermore, it is vital to have the water resistance of your watch checked by an authorised Jaeger-LeCoultre retailer at least once every two years, and at any event before any period during which it is liable to undergo prolonged and/or regular immersions.
The criteria of the “1000 Hours Control” programme considerably exceed the standards of offi 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.
You can adjust your steel bracelet yourself. However, if you have a gold model, we advise you to entrust it to the nearest approved Jaeger-LeCoultre retailer, or to contact one of our offi cial Service Centres listed at the end of the guarantee or warranty document.
