• Couronne: Located at the 3 o'clock position, used for setting time and date.
• Pousseur supérieur : Located at the 2 o'clock position, used to start and stop the chronograph.
• Poussoir inférieur : Located at the 4 o'clock position, used to reset the chronograph.
• Période de référence : Displays the current date, located between the 4 and 5 o'clock positions.
• Sous-cadrans : Three subdials for chronograph minutes (9 o'clock), running seconds (6 o'clock), and 24-hour indicator (3 o'clock).

Installation

Your JACQUES LEMANS 1-1117.1WR watch is equipped with a quartz movement, offering precise timekeeping and chronograph functions. Before first use, or after a period of inactivity, you may need to set the time and date.

1. Réglage de l'heure

1. Pull the crown (located at the 3 o'clock position) out to position 2 (the furthest click). The small second hand in the subdial at 6 o'clock will stop.
2. Turn the crown clockwise or counter-clockwise to set the hour and minute hands to the desired time. Observe the 24-hour subdial (at 3 o'clock) to ensure correct AM/PM alignment if applicable, though this subdial primarily serves as a 24-hour reference.
3. Once the time is set, push the crown back into position 1 (fully pushed in) to restart the watch.

2. Fixer la date

1. Pull the crown out to position 1 (the first click). The watch will continue to run.
2. Turn the crown counter-clockwise to adjust the date in the date window (located between 4 and 5 o'clock). Avoid setting the date between 9 PM and 3 AM, as this can interfere with the automatic date change mechanism.
3. Once the correct date is displayed, push the crown back into its original, fully pushed-in position.

3. Initial Chronograph Setup (if hands are misaligned)

If the chronograph hands (large central second hand, subdial hands) do not reset precisely to their zero positions, consult the 'Troubleshooting' section for calibration instructions.

Opérationnel

1. Principes de base de la gestion du temps

The watch displays hours and minutes with the main hands. The subdial at 6 o'clock indicates the running seconds for the main time. The subdial at 3 o'clock provides a 24-hour indication, synchronized with the main hour hand.

2. Utilisation du chronographe

La fonction chronographe vous permet de mesurer le temps écoulé indépendamment de l'affichage principal de l'heure.

• Commencer: Press the upper pusher (at 2 o'clock) to start the chronograph. The large central second hand will begin to move, and the subdial at 9 o'clock will track elapsed minutes.
• Stop: Press the upper pusher again to stop the chronograph. The elapsed time can then be read from the central second hand and the 9 o'clock subdial (up to 30 minutes).
• Remise à zéro: While the chronograph is stopped, press the lower pusher (at 4 o'clock) to reset all chronograph hands to their zero positions.

3. Directives relatives à la résistance à l'eau

This watch is water-resistant to 20 ATM (200 meters), making it suitable for swimming, snorkeling, and recreational diving. To maintain water resistance:

• Assurez-vous toujours que la couronne est complètement enfoncée avant d'exposer la montre à l'eau.
• Do not operate the crown or pushers while the watch is wet or submerged, as this can compromise the internal seals.
• Après exposition à l'eau salée, rincez la montre à l'eau douce et séchez-la soigneusement.

Entretien

Proper care will ensure the longevity and performance of your JACQUES LEMANS watch.

1. Nettoyage

Wipe the watch case and crystal with a soft, dry, lint-free cloth. For water-resistant models, a slightly damp cloth can be used, followed by immediate drying. Avoid using harsh chemicals, solvents, or abrasive materials, as these can damage the watch's finish or seals.

2. Remplacement de la batterie

When the watch stops running or the small second hand begins to jump in 2-second intervals (an End-of-Life indicator), the battery needs replacement. This procedure should be performed by a qualified watchmaker or an authorized service center to ensure proper battery type, sealing, and to maintain the watch's water resistance.

3. Entretien du bracelet en cuir

Avoid prolonged exposure of the leather strap to water, direct sunlight, or extreme temperatures, as these can cause discoloration, drying, or damage. Clean the strap with a soft, damp cloth and allow it to air dry naturally. Do not use chemical cleaners on the leather.

4. Water Resistance Check

It is recommended to have the watch's water resistance checked annually by an authorized service center, especially if the watch is frequently exposed to water or if the case back has been opened for battery replacement.

Dépannage

Si vous rencontrez des problèmes avec votre montre, consultez les solutions courantes suivantes :

• Montre non fonctionnelle :
  Ensure the crown is fully pushed into position 1. If the watch still does not run, the battery may need replacement.
• La date ne change pas correctement :
  Check if the time is set correctly, particularly if the date changes at noon instead of midnight. If so, advance the hour hand by 12 hours. Avoid manually setting the date between 9 PM and 3 AM, as this can interfere with the automatic date change mechanism.
• Aiguilles du chronographe ne se remettant pas à zéro :
  If the chronograph hands (central second hand, subdial hands) do not return to their 12 o'clock (zero) position when the lower pusher is pressed, they may need calibration. This typically involves pulling the crown out to position 2 and using the pushers (often the upper pusher for the central second hand, and the lower pusher for subdial hands) to advance the chronograph hands to their correct zero positions. Refer to specific movement instructions if available, or consult a professional watchmaker.
