Special: Jaeger-LeCoultre AMVOX

This week in the special topic the Jaeger-LeCoultre AMVOX.
The legendary & luxurious carbrand Aston Martin collaborate with a leader in the watchmaking industry named Jaeger-LeCoultre. This is an combination where people only can dream about. This dream came true in 2005.  Four years later the AMVOX collection is well known on the market. The collection has three nice models: Amvox3 Tourbillon GMT (limited to 300 pieces), Amvox2 Chronograph and the Amvox2 Chronograph DBS. Unique is the pushpiece-free chronograph. The functions are operated simply by pressing the sapphire crystal, at 12 o'clock for the start and stop functions, and at 6 o'clock to reset to zero. This system is called the vertical-trigger chronograph system.

The Amvox2 Chronograph DBS is a unique piece on his own. By integrating the transponder circuit into the body of the watch, Jaeger-LeCoultre has created a timepiece and a carkey in one. You can open and close you car with this unique timepiece. Only Aston Martin DBS owners can buy this watch.


After the vertical-trigger chronograph system, Jaeger-LeCoultre creates a groundbreaking step: the first mechanical watch to control the locking mechanism on a luxury car.

Jerome Lambert, Chief Executive Officer of Jaeger-LeCoultre said: "This is one of the most exciting projects our team has developed in the area of functional innovation in watchmaking. The collaboration with all levels of the Aston Martin organisation has been deep and exhilarating, and no doubt this transpires in the breakthrough nature and design of the AMVOX2 DBS Transponder itself."
