Jaeger-leCoultre Master Ultra Thin, Master Control User Manual

Introduction

We congratulate you on the purchase of your
Jaeger-LeCoultre watch and thank you for your confi dence.

With its 1.85 mm thick movement, the Master Ultra Thin
eloquently testifi es that even the greatest technique and
sophistication may be easily accommodated within diminutive
dimensions. The watch features a sapphire case-back for those
eager to explore the mysteries of this minimalist grand classic.

We invite you to consult the operating instructions and we
wish you great pleasure with your Jaeger-LeCoultre timepiece.

Accuracy

Mechanical models with manual or automatic
winding

The precision of the mechanical models is determined by the
balance. The latter performs 21,600 or 28,800 vibrations per
hour depending on the model (see technical specifications
applicable to each model).

Despite all the care that the Jaeger-LeCoultre master­watchmakers have lavished on making and assembling your
watch, its accuracy is subject to the influence of gravity,
magnetic fields, shocks, as well as ageing of the oils. Watch
accuracy is measured by rate regularity in a variety of positions.

The nature of your temperament and of your daily activities
may cause slight variations in timekeeping. If you were to
notice that your watch is running slow or fast, we advise you
to take it to an approved Jaeger-LeCoultre retailer, who will

make any necessary adjustments.

Quar tz models

The quartz models are accurate to within 2 to 3 minutes
per year. Jaeger-LeCoultre quartz watches contain a
battery and electronic components. When performing
maintenance, your official Jaeger-LeCoultre Service

Centre or your authorised Jaeger-LeCoultre retailer will
take charge of their recovery and disposal in accordance with
the standards in force.

Water resistance

Jaeger-LeCoultre Master Control watches are water-resistant
to 5 bar/atm. The water-resistance of your watch can be
identified by the

symbol engraved on the case-back.
This means that you can use your watch for short swims, and
when diving from the poolside, but not from a diving board. It
must not be used either for scuba diving or for sports where
there are significant risks of hard knocks, such as windsurfing
and waterskiing. Please also note that leather straps are not
suitable for aquatic activities.

It is also essential to have the water resistance of your watch
regularly checked by an authorised Jaeger-LeCoultre retailer
at least once every 2 years, and definitely before any period
in which it will undergo prolonged and / or regular immersion.

The «1000 Hours Control» test
by Jaeger-LeCoultre

Jaeger-LeCoultre subjects its watches to the rigorous
«1000 Hours Control» test programme. Unique in its kind,
this test consists of 1000 hours of comprehensive, stringent
checks.

The «1000 Hour s Control» seal or marking, affixed or
engraved on the back of your watch, cer tifies that it has
undergone this obser vation programme in our laboratories
and has successfully passed all tests. The latter include rate
regularity checks, reactions to changes in temperature and
barometric pressure, resistance to shocks and magnetic fields,
as well as water-resistance tests. Your watch is therefore capa­ble of withstanding the trials of ever yday life when you wear
it on your wrist.

The criteria of the «1000 Hours Control» programme go far
beyond the official timekeeping test standards, which concern
only part of the movement. Jaeger-Lecoultre tests not only
the movement before casing it in the watch, but also the fully

assembled watch.

Technical characteristics

- Manually-wound mechanical movement, ultra-thin,
Calibre 849.

- 21,600 vibrations/hour.

- Power reserve : approximately 35 hours.

Movement

Use

Winding

Winding is performed by turning the crown clockwise. The
watch is fully wound when the crown locks.

Do not attempt to wind a manually-wound watch beyond
the locking point.

To ensure good operating accuracy, it is advisable to wind
your watch regularly, at least once a day.

Time setting

Pull the crown out to position 2.

Move the hands clockwise until the desired time is displayed.

When the operation is completed, push the crown back to
position 1.
