GWIS's post revisits a pivotal era for Jaeger-LeCoultre, marked by the brand's dynamic partnership with Aston Martin and the distinctive AMVOX 2 Racing Chronograph. This article delves into the community's reflections on Jerome Lambert's return, exploring how his previous tenure shaped JLC's identity and the collector experiences that defined it. It offers a valuable look back at the brand's strategic direction and the watches that captured the spirit of that time.






With the exciting news of Jerome Lambert returning to JLC, I was reminded of two of my favourite posts ever on the Purists, namely two related posts from 2009 by Dje about the tale of his and Nico’s trip to Le Mans, courtesy of JLC. A lavish trip involving a stay in a chateau, a helicopter ride to the Le Mans race circuit, hanging out with Aston Martin during the race and lots of wonderful cars. Oh, and few nice watches too, in particular the white and black dial versions of the Amvox 2 Racing Chronograph, launched to celebrate Aston Martin’s racing at Le Mans.

I’m a particular fan of this watch, which, for me, sums up that exciting era of JLC - it’s fun, interesting and has a horological twist in its chronograph function. Great times. Let’s hope they come back under Jerome Lambert - the sequel!

All the best,
Jon

When we are in the moment we don't realize how lucky we are and in my case took it for granted, its only later you realize how lucky we were, thank you for reminding us of these good times, HAGWE

Am I getting 15 years younger instantly? That was a great time. And there could be fun ahead. Thanks for reminding us that past.
