| Master Compressor, Master Hometime, AMVOX5 World Chrono. |
With the shared values of technical innovation, the Manufacture Jaeger-LeCoultre and car maker Aston Martin entered into a partnership almost a decade ago. For the 180th birthday of the Grande Maison and the Centennial of Aston Martin, Jaeger-LeCoultre has created three new and very exclusive watches.
This alarm watch is equipped with a universal hour display that lets you read the time at a glance in any time zone in the world. Powered by the Calibre 912, an automatic movement developed in the brand's workshops, the Master Compressor Extreme W-Alarm Aston Martin is a perfect combination of watchmaking expertise and sporty style, highlighted by the compression keys on the patented Jaeger-LeCoultre case. The black dial, with its alternating red and white indicators, is reminiscent of the vents on Aston Martin cars.
Master Hometime Aston Martin
Designed for globetrotters, the Hometime concept is now available in an Aston Martin special edition series. With its sleek, classic design, now reading two time zones is simple, thanks to the skeletonised hand indicating the reference time. Fitted with a 975H movement, the Master Hometime Aston Martin watch epitomizes the values shared by the two brands: innovation, reliability and performance.

AMVOX5 World Chronograph Cermet
The ideal function for any racing driver, the iconic chronograph function joins forces on this watch with the simultaneous display of 24 time zones. The central chronograph hand is accompanied by two counters either side of the vertical axis to record the minutes and hours since the timing started. Extremely lightweight, the reinforced cermet case houses the Calibre 752, a Jaeger-LeCoultre automatic movement. (ref: www.jaeger-lecoultre.com ).

The AMVOX2 DB9 Transponder heralds the third generation of the revolutionary creation that sealed the ties between Aston Martin and the Swiss watchmaker Jaeger-LeCoultre.
Released two years ago, the DBS Transponder watch was the first mechanical watch developed with the ability to control access to a luxury sports car by means of a built-in micro transmitter system serving to lock and unlock the Aston Martin DBS.
As the driver nears the car, all he need do is press the OPEN position on the watch glass (between eight and nine o’clock) in order to unlock the car, whereas doing the same thing on the CLOSE position between three and four o’clock will lock the vehicle.
By pressing simultaneously on the "OPEN" and "CLOSE" rectangles, the watch emits a signal recognised by the car as a "FIND ME" function: the headlamps light up for several seconds, without unlocking the car, so as to enable the owner to find the car at a glance.
By integrating the transponder circuit into the body of the watch, Jaeger-LeCoultre has created a timepiece that is entirely functional yet discreet, a masterpiece of miniaturisation and engineering that not only functions as a chronograph but as a key, making it the ultimate accessory for the ultimate sports car.
In-cased in grade five titanium, the black dial of the AMVOX2 DB9 Transponder is adorned with a grille-type motif and bears rhodium-plated metallic numerals coated in the centre with a luminescent black substance. The DB9 logo, which is gilded as are the hands and hour-markers, appears to be floating in the center in a window revealing the ruthenium mainplate and bridges of the exquisitely refined movement.
The AMVOX2 DB9 Transponder watch is available to order now from the Aston Martin dealership network priced at: UK: £12,426, EU: €15,833, US: $24,400 exclusive of local taxes and customs & duties charges.
About the DB9
As the most successful Aston Martin of all-time (an honor it shares with the V8 Vantage) the DB9 has established itself as the definitive grand tourer, thanks to an enduring combination of understated elegance, sporting character and genuine luxury. The Aston Martin DB9 is a 2+2 sports GT available as either Coupe or Volante (convertible) with rear mid-mounted six-speed manual gearbox as standard or optional ‘Touchtronic 2’ six-speed automatic transmission.
