… To grow and flourish, as did the advancement of the timepiece with each new AMVOX release. 




The AMVOX II represented a major step forward, not just in the partnership between these two innovative companies, but in watchmaking itself. The AMVOX II was an all-new chronograph whose functions are activated not by buttons protruding on the side of the case, but by pushing on the crystal.  To Start/Stop the chronograph, the wearer presses on the crystal at 12:00.  Pressing on the crystal at 6:00 resets the chronograph counters.

There are many variations of the AMVOX II release in a variety of metals.  

The 50th Anniversary Racing Edition was released in 2010 in a limited run of 100 in titanium (w/open-face white dial-ref 192.T.430) and 100 in PVD titanium (w/open-face black dial-ref 192.T.400) as shown.





Note the seconds indicator just above 6:00 with the Aston Martin logo.

Here’s an example in platinum, reference 192.6.25:





And one in steel, reference 192.T.25:





And one in rose gold, reference 192.2.25:




Of course, Jaeger LeCoultre is never one to rest on its laurels, so Le Grande Maison released another AMVOX II, but this one has a transponder allowing the wearer to lock and unlock their Aston vehicle simply by pressing on the crystal at 9:00 and 3:00:




Reference 192.H.47


In a previous post I mentioned how cool these watches are.  Having a mechanical watch that can lock and unlock your car?  It gets no cooler than that. I'll leave you with the DB 11, one of the most beautiful cars I have ever seen.  This one will suck the air right out of your body.



Have a great weekend, everyone.
