The first AMVOX to combine the chronograph and a world time clock…be sure to check the video…

Aston Martin and Jaeger-LeCoultre chose the Le Mans Series championship race on the Paul Ricard circuit to present their partnership’s latest creation. The new AMVOX5 World Chronograph combines the power of style and innovation with refinement and performance, in a testimony to the core values shared by the two companies since the commencement of their partnership in 2004.

Jaeger Le-Coultre AMVOX5 World Chronograph

200 pieces in ceramic + 18 carat pink gold case (44mm diamter)

and…

300 pieces with a ceramic and titanium case

In a nod to the watch’s automobile lineage, London is replaced by the town of Gaydon in Warwickshire, where Aston Martin’s headquarters and factory are located.   Look closely and you can see “Gaydon” near the 6 o’clock position.   Oh — almost forgot — lest you ever think a car radiator can not be inspiring, Jaeger-LeCoultre did note note in its press release that the partially open dial bears markings “inspired by the radiator grille of a sports car.”  Uhh….okay. Yay for the radiator! LOL.  The time elapsed on the chronograph function is read on the central second hand and on the two 30-minute and 12-hour counters.

Much more enticing to me are the two racing models which will be made in ceramic and titanium, with a black or white dial (100 of each).  Inspired by the performance of the meteoric LMP1 Aston Martin Racing prototype (pictured), these timepieces feature chronographic counters executed in carbon fibre, punctuated with a flash of orange on the world time disc, orange chronographic second hand and orange overstitching on the calfskin leather strap:

Finally, here’s a cool video compilation of the Amvox Series, as compiled by Jaeger-LeCoultre:
