Greetings and welcome to the world of Jaeger-LeCoultre. Today I'll be your guide to the proper usage, care and maintenance of your Jaeger-LeCoultre Master Ultra Thin in white gold.
Now this is an automatic winding timepiece that can nevertheless be manually wound should it run down by taking the crown in the first position flush to the case and turning it 20 to 30 times in a clockwise direction. You'll know the watch is operating because the seconds hand will begin to advance. Now at this point you can simply set the moon phase, set the date, set the time, put it on the wrist and the natural course of kinetic action on the wrist with the case back winding mass will ensure that the watch gradually winds itself completely. But should you wish to wind the automatic caliber to its maximum 43-hour power reserve, simply continue turning in a clockwise direction. Due to the bridle style mainspring which slips to relieve excess tension, you cannot accidentally overwind this timepiece. Rather listen for the click or tick of the bridle slipping as your cue that the watch is fully wound.
Now the watch has a number of refinements that allow for more precise setting of its indications the first of which is stop seconds. Stop seconds is the outermost position of the crown. It's also known has hacking. It stops the beat of the balance on the case back halting the balance wheel and arresting the seconds hand as well as hours and minutes.
Now there are two other indications that can be set using quick set functions. The moon phase at 6:00 and the radial date. The pusher correctors on the flanks of the case 4:00 controlling the radial date, 8:00 controlling the moon phase can be actuated using the quick change tool included in the boxed accessory set for your watch. Now there are some handling restrictions. You don't want to set these indications during the changeover periods. So always take note.
The date changeover period is between 8:30 p.m. and 3:30 a.m. so don't change the date using the pusher corrector from 8:30 p.m. to 3:30 a.m. as this can cause damage to the movement while it is changing over its own indication. When it's changing itself, don't manually change it. The date and the moon phase should generally be set in sync by advancing the watch through the changeover of the date at midnight out of the danger zone and to 6a.m. At 6 a.m. you can without any crisis of conscience or hazard to the movement use the quick set for the date and the quick set for the moon phase.
To set the moon phase precisely because it does have very small increments over its 29 1/2-day lifespan, it's best to center the moon visually between the two flanks of the moon phase display so you have a full moon. Then go to a reference online that shows the current lunar phase and look at the number of days past the full moon and then precisely actuate the pusher adjuster at 8:00 to account for that number of pushes or that number of days. This way you can precisely sync your moon phase rather than attempting to do it visually which can be difficult.
Now water resistance is also not a static feature of your watch. The farther it goes from a service or original factory manufacture, the more seals will age and lubricants will dry reducing the hermeticity of the watch. Therefore Jaeger-LeCoultre recommends minimally every 12 months having the watch water tested at an authorized service center to ensure that factory rated hermeticity is intact.
And finally, this watch like all Jaeger-LeCoultre timepieces features an engraved case back indication of its water resistance level here 5 bar or 50 meter static test. So that's sufficient for splashing, rain exposure and surface exposure to water but not for more intensive diving activities. This watch is principally for water contact at the surface or above the surface.
Magnetism is a threat to a watch because it is an insidious threat. It is hidden but ubiquitous. Its effect is to magnetize the fairest metal hairspring at the center of your balance. The heartbeat of your watch.
Shock and concussion however present more permanent threats to your watch and sufficient shock or concussion can damage the movement such that it no longer advances. Jaeger-LeCoultre recommends minimally every 2 to 2 1/2 years having your watch serviced. This will involve cosmetic restoration of the case, restoration of the water tight integrity of your watch as well as cleaning, oiling and re-regulation of the movement.

If someone owns a Furutech destat III for their stereo system, can that be used to eliminate any magnetism?
hahaha
T Masso from watch box
It is designed to pass more time at the service than at the wrist of the owner.
service every 2 to 3 years? OMG. how much does it cost? :D
So glad I watched this as I was just about to pull the trigger on a JLC MUT Date.
Can’t drown it, can’t shake it vigorously, unrealistic maintenance schedule, is this a mechanical object or a human child? I’ll stick with my Omega & Rolex’!
ubertoby wait what? This is supposed to be my wedding watch....hmmm...might rethink that...

And why are you compare dive watches that are designed to withstand water pressure and shock to a dress watch?
@@whatsup4616 The watch or the wedding?
Non of it is actuall a thing…
You can easily go into Water. That leather doesnt like Water is obvious…
Never mind. Bye to this watch.
The date numerals are far too small to be read effortlessly. Two and a half years service intervals = money pit. Beautiful piece nonetheless, but not beautiful enough, ha!
Jesus christ.. service every 2-2½ years
That's par for the course of high-end horology. If you're not prepared to protect the investment, don't make the investment.
I’ve got one of these and I’ve got no intention of having it serviced anything like that frequently. Probably every 5 years I guess. I’ve got a crappy Seiko automatic from the early 70s that has NEVER been serviced and that still ticks away just fine. Service intervals are a neat little scam for these guys.
@@PopBubbleWrappable This watch is not an investment of any sort.
@@PopBubbleWrappable lmao
@@PopBubbleWrappable protect ??? watches should be like soviet era watches .. wear it for 20 years and then just change a few little parts that are worn out .. not stracthing the hour hands and the case very 5 years
Beautiful watch but I will never buy one. I want to wear my watch. not stare at it in a box.
I wear mine every single day.
@@TheRausing1 I admire that. It’s a beautiful piece of art. Wear it and enjoy it everyday. Too many people collect for the sake of collecting and not actually using the piece.
@@kevinn1158 cheers man. The key is to just embrace the scratches. Unless you’re buying for pure investment, but like you, that’s really not my thing.
@@TheRausing1 same. Can polish off micro scratches if I really need but it looks so great either way.
As there is a lot of polishing on this watch, it's pretty easy to remove scratches with some Cape Cod abrasive cloth.
Another channel that mispronounces Jaeger
Agreed - even if the guy was a frenchman - still a german name!
He is pronouncing it correctly.
You should check out the dunning-krugger effect. You suffer from it.
He does pronouce it perfectly fine.
Not good than sbga211 or sbga407
