Upon reflection, my favorite of the series.
While I leaned towards the cool platinum and ceramic model, this variant has the color and the character that such a special model truly deserves. The fact that orange accenting was chosen is both audacious and successful. If the standard ceramic/rose Amvox III is a refined and reserved DB9, and the ceramic/platinum model is a patrician Rapide, the Paris boutique Amvox III is the raucous last-of-the-line 2007 Vanquish S with a Works Service custom six-speed.
I'm an Aston fan, so the branding does not bother me; if anything, it's more an acknowledgement of shared 70-year history rather than a shotgun marriage of brands. Both before the Amvox series and after, Jaeger gauges in Aston Martin cars were a fact and a fixture of motoring, and while the Amvox series has ended, both Aston/Jaeger gauges and Jaeger-LeCoultre/Aston watches keep plying the miles and the minding time.
Best,
Tim

The last of the three Amvox III, launched in 2011, wa maybe the most consistent, with its titanium / ceramic case. Limited to 35 pieces, while the two others were made in a limited edition of 300 pieces each, this sporty version had and still has its char...
beautiful one...
i like the RED tourbillion bridge...nice touch ! btw, how longer can a 'must have' watch list can be ?! - just wondering...keeps growing longer each day ;-) Best, mahesh.,
With the AM bezel and logo, I think TAG may have done a mildly better job...( I'm NOT saying it's a better watch, just slightly better AM branding)
Though IMO, neither of these pieces are as unique as I would expect a piece carrying the AM logo. The Amvox is really impressive!
I like this red bridge ...
But I still love my Amvox 3 with a more discrete look. Cheers, Nilo

Yes, it is the most daring offer, and the one I prefer, but what is funny to say is... That it ended to be my preferred. While I first preferred the platinum.
Most daring... Isn't that we miss, lately? Best, Nicolas
I do not recall this one
Very nice! And only 35 examples, super rare. Thanks for sharing this nugget Nicolas!
