Jaeger Lecoultre Amvox III, the three versions.
Apr 22, 2017,01:24 AM
In 2009, Jaeger Lecoultre unveiled the Amvox III. A jump in the family, since till then, the Amvox watches were relatively affordable.
Let's remind that the Amvox III displays Tourbillon, a GMT and a Date. So, indeed, due to the presence of the Tourbillon, the price was not the same.
A sporty Tourbillon, which is something odd, as sports and tourbillons are not naturally evident to associate.
But it worked quite well, in this watch.
A kind of sub Extreme Lab One. And as we are mentioning this last one, the Amvox III borrowed its rotor.
2009: Amvox III Ceramic / Rose Gold:
2010: Amvox III Ceramic / Platinum.
2011: Amvox III Ceramic / Titanium.
The two first were produced in a limited edition of 300 pieces, the last one in 35 pieces.
44 mm case for all of them.
Like for the Master Tourbillon, the date jumps from 5 to 7 o' clock.
Which one do you prefer?
The warmth of the ceramic / rose gold? The discretion of the ceramic / platinum, or the sporty look of the ceramic / titanium?
Personally, I'd go for the Ceramic / Titanium, which is more consistent with the purpose of the watch. And it was the most " affordable " version, too, with a retail, at that time, which was circa 35 000 Euros.
You?
Best,
