Care and Maintenance
The Jaeger-LeCoultre Polaris Mariner Memovox is a automatic winding watch, so it does not require daily winding unlike other Jaeger-LeCoultre collection. But it still requires some maintenance and care to keep it at its best. Being a custom made luxury watch, proper maintenance might help retain its values and most of the time appreciate it.
Maintenance Advice
- Keep it clean.
- Have it serviced by a professional.
- Avoid exposure to extreme temperatures.
- Wear it regularly or store in a watch winder.
- Don’t drop it.
- Don’t place near strong magnets or electronics.
Magnetism
A strong magnetic field may also hamper the movement of the watch making it completely stop or have disturbance in the movement. Worry not as the disturbance will only last while the watch is in the influence of the magnetic field.
Manual Winding
Being a manual-winding watch, it is recommended to wind your luxury watch every day in order to supply the movement with the power it required to run effectively over the following 24 hours. It is advised to do so even if you are not wearing it every day.
Only wind your Jeager-LeCoultre until you feel the resistance and do not try to wind it beyond the point of resistance as it might cause the motor spring to snap.
Conclusion
The Jaeger-LeCoultre Reverso Tribute Chronograph is a mastery of fine watchmaking to be admired as much for its mechanical complexity as for its exceptional finishes. The watch truly embodies the essence of the Jaeger-LeCoultre heritage and bestows the best complications in a classical style.
