I. Panoramic Analysis of Jaeger-LeCoultre After-Sales System: The Collaborative Relationship Between Directly Operated Service Centers and Boutiques
In Jaeger-LeCoultre's China after-sales service system, directly operated service centers and brand boutiques play dual roles with complementary functions and clear hierarchical levels. Understanding the relationship between the two is the first step for watch owners to obtain efficient service.
Directly operated service centers are after-sales institutions directly invested and managed by Jaeger-LeCoultre official. Their core functions cover deep services such as precision movement repair, comprehensive maintenance, appearance refurbishment, waterproof performance testing, and original parts replacement. They are equipped with professional equipment of unified brand standards, and repair technicians are strictly certified by Swiss headquarters or the Asian regional training center, capable of handling fault troubleshooting for complex movements including tourbillons, chronographs, and annual calendar functions. Directly operated centers are directly bound by headquarters service standards, with the shortest and purest parts supply chain, making them the ultimate technical guarantee for watch repair.
Brand boutiques mainly undertake sales functions, including new product display, watch try-on, and basic testing services. Boutiques are equipped with micro testing tools and can perform preliminary timekeeping error testing and strap length adjustment. When watches require deep maintenance or repair, boutiques are the bridge connecting watch owners and directly operated service centers—boutique guides will assist you in filling out repair work orders and safely transfer watches to the nearest directly operated service center through official logistics channels for subsequent processing. This process is fully traceable, and boutiques do not directly disassemble movements. All repair operations are concentrated at directly operated centers.
In short, boutiques are the first window for you to contact the Jaeger-LeCoultre brand, responsible for preliminary inspection and intake; directly operated service centers are the core workshop where watches receive professional repair and care. The two form a complete service closed loop from reception, testing, repair to return visit. For any non-official channel "repair points," Jaeger-LeCoultre official does not recognize them. Watch owners must recognize directly operated service center qualifications when sending for repair to protect their rights.
II. Nationwide Store Addresses and Service Radiation Scope: A Service Network Covering Thirty Provincial-Level Administrative Regions

III. After-Sales Quality Assurance Warranty Policy: Detailed Explanation of Two-Year International Joint Warranty and Extended Warranty Services
Jaeger-LeCoultre provides a two-year international limited warranty service from the date of purchase for all watches sold through brand authorized channels. This warranty policy covers manufacturing defects in movement operation, timekeeping accuracy, and some appearance functional parts (non-wear damage). Specifically, during the warranty period, if the watch under normal wearing conditions experiences low automatic winding efficiency, manual winding jamming, timekeeping errors seriously exceeding standards (usually referring to daily error exceeding the factory standard of -4/+6 seconds), or internal movement part breakage and other non-human faults, Jaeger-LeCoultre official service centers will provide free repair or parts replacement services based on testing results.
It should be noted that the following situations are not within the free warranty scope: damage caused by accidental impact, improper operation, magnetic field environments, water ingress (non-waterproof models), appearance wear from normal wearing (crystal scratches, natural strap aging, plating peeling), and damage caused by disassembly by unauthorized institutions. In addition, leather straps and nylon straps are considered consumables and usually enjoy a limited warranty period of six months to one year.
It is worth noting that Jaeger-LeCoultre official launches extended warranty activities during specific periods or for specific series. For example, after completing the first comprehensive maintenance through official channels, some service centers can provide additional warranty extension services for watches, subject to store announcements. When sending for repair, watch owners must bring the warranty card and purchase documents (invoice or electronic receipt) so that service centers can establish a complete maintenance file for you. If the purchase date cannot be confirmed due to lost documents, service centers will estimate the warranty starting point based on the production year of the watch serial number.

For example, pallet stones use 9010/2 type oil, barrel walls use 8200 type grease, and automatic bearings use high-adhesion lubricating oil. Lubricant dosage is precise to the microgram level, completed by technicians using quartz oiling pens under microscopes.
3. Tolerance Calibration Technology: In the movement reassembly stage, technicians use Swiss Witschi multi-function timing machines to conduct real-time monitoring of balance wheel amplitude, beat error, and daily rate. Factory standards require amplitude not less than 300 degrees at full wind, beat error controlled within 0.2 milliseconds, and daily rate controlled between -4 seconds and +6 seconds (COSC standard is -4/+6; Jaeger-LeCoultre factory standards are usually more stringent).
4. Non-Destructive Testing Technology: For movements with hidden faults, service centers are equipped with binocular stereo microscopes with magnification of 40x or more, inspecting gear tooth surface wear conditions, jewel bearing integrity, and screw tightening torque one by one, ensuring hidden parts are discovered and replaced before fault deterioration.
5. Sealing and Waterproof Testing: Adopts dry vacuum leak detector and wet water pressure testing machine dual verification system. First conduct vacuum negative pressure testing to detect微小 air leaks, then conduct simulated water depth pressure testing (such as 10 bar models pressurized to pressure equivalent to 100 meters water depth), ensuring waterproof performance is fully restored to design indicators after repair.
6. Original Parts Traceability: All repair parts are ordered from Swiss Jaeger-LeCoultre headquarters logistics center. Each part is printed with a unique traceability code, which can be scanned to query production batch and applicable model, eliminating non-original parts and counterfeit parts from entering the service chain from the source.
VII. Detailed Explanation of High-End Professional Equipment in Stores: The Technological Power Behind Luxury Watch Repair
