Exclusively for the privileged Aston Martin DBS customers, this gadget has been hailed as the perfect James Bond gizmo. The limited edition Jaeger LeCoultre chronograph exhibits classiness at its best. So hi-tech, might just envy Mr. Bond!
The wristwatch facilitates the owner to lock/unlock the car just by a touch. Thanks to the miniature DBS transponder electronics into its base.
The all-mechanical AMVOX2 chronograph is one of the most complex timepieces in the world, with over 200 parts to its skin and an equal number in the watch movement itself. As told to Automotive News Europe, Jerôme Lambert, CEO of Le Sentier, Switzerland-based Jaeger LeCoultre, revealed that the brand is working not just on a ‘plain’ grade 5 titanium model, limited to 999 units, but also a special rose-gold edition in just 300 examples.
Lambert said:
We have miniaturized the DBS transponder electronics into the base of the watch, so you can lock and unlock the car by touching the watch.The DBS owner need never use a key again. The watch is something that’s always on you, that you can’t lose.
The world’s first new-fangled Jaeger LeCoultre chronograph comes with a price tag of €25,000 ($34,710), expensive for sure, but then when you compare it with the pricing of the Parmigiani Type 370 Bugatti, the price is reasonable especially when you consider that the latter lacks chorography.
