WELCOME TO J.BOVIER

J.Bovier Made
The name J.BOVIER guarantees a quality watch movement of the greatest precision. Developed
from advanced technology, the movement is manufactured from the best quality component s and
powered by the long life battery.
The Mechanical J.Bovier Watch
The mechanical JBovier Watch with an automatic movement does not need to be wound by hand.
The motion of your wrist makes the rotor (oscillating weight or mass) turn, thereby winding up the
main spring of the watch movement. The everyday activity of life is sufficient in itself to wind up an
automatic Jaguar watch and it will run continually, even if it is removed at night. However, if not
worn for approximately 40 hours, it will stop. To male the watch work again, turn the crown
clockwise about 20 times. Now set the time and if possible the date etc.
Incidentally, in an automatic watch with a glass back you can see the self-rotating oscillating weight.
Water Resistance of J.Bovier Watches
J.Bovier watches have a water resistant function as engraved on the case back. They are tested and
guaranteed water resistant up to 100 meter or 330 feet of certain professional models. J.Bvoier
watches are suitable for swimming, sailing, sail boarding, surfing and shallow diving.
Sapphire Crystal
J.Bovier watches glasses are fitted with a scratchproof sapphire crystal that is distinguished by its
scratch proofness and reflection free.

Stainless Steel Bracelet

J.Bovier uses only metal bracelets made from first-class stainless steel. These are very robust and
durable, as well as meeting the most stringent dermatological requirements for the prevention of
nickel allergies.
Battery for Quartz Watches
Your quartz operated J.Bovier watch is equipped with a battery. Depending on the model the battery
will last for approximate 1- 2 years. A low battery must be changed as quickly as possible by the a
J.Bovier dealer.
