Care and Maintenance
Being a automatic winding watch, the Jaeger-LeCoultre Master Control Chronograph Calendar does not require daily winding but still there are some basic points to look for to keep your watch at its best and reduce any kind of defects.
Maintenance Advice
- Keep the watch away from moisture.
- 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 ( Applicable only for Manual Winding Watches)
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.
