..I was not invited by JLC but by the winner of this edition but I wandered a lot around Aston Martin paddock !

you  have spent such good days !!! and this AMVOX is great !! perhaps my future JLC ?

 

My kingdom for a JLC cap and for a JLC-Aston Martin shirt !! impossible to buy them in a store, my only disappointment for these gorgeous  days. If JLC reads me... [but my kingdom is very small.. ]

Agree with you on the Amvox II...

A technical, young, and original watch, nicely designed, at least, to me.

As for the shirt and cap, ask for them when you get the A II!...

you lucky dogs....  I AM SO JEALOUS !!!!!!         

Thanks for the amazing report Nico.

...I was able to feel the vibrations of the cars and hear their roar as they raced around the track.
A very good mixture of words and photographs, thank you Nicolas. If I may make a request,
please report next on a JLC "outing" to a South Pacific paradise complete with the sounds
and sights of a tropical beach surrounding our beloved dive watches.

Will try to do it again...

But with Diving watches, next time!



I'm very happy you felt my post this way, because this was my 1st purpose, indeed.

Thanks, Neil.

Nicolas

I can imagine you had a great time!

Amazing post Nicolas, Thank you for the pics

For once I'm the one to post interesting pics, Maestro!



Best,

Nicolas

Thank you for taking us along with your tremendous experience!

Hey Nicolas,

Maybe all those JLC badges were bad luck on Rolex grounds. For the Aston Martin cars that is! I'm sorry, I am just extremely jealous at you. I follow Le Mans racing for probably all my life and it is a must thing for me to go there some day. Even if I don't get there by helicopter and can't stay in a castle with pool! You sure had some great fun there. Well, I sure hope the AM cars have better luck next year. And about this diesel stuff; just give me those good old howling and crying V12, V10 and V8 petrol engines. What the hell is next over there; electric cars making no sound at all!? Trust me I sure care about the environment but if we all try our best to save our planet we can still see (and hear) those marvelous cars racing. Thanks a lot for the post. Not to sure about the new Amvox. I'm still more into the Amvox I with its clean dial which counts the same for the Amvox II IMO. These new watches seem a bit too busy for me.  But it's all a matter of taste isn't it.

Best,

Starman

I love the crying V 8, 10 or 12 Petrol engines, much more demonstrative than the diesels...

It's a bit sad, indeed.

BUT for AM, all was not good, but excellent, as they were the first Petrol Cars!

So, THe Rolex malediction didn't hurt AM!



As for the Amvoxes, these are watches to be seen in the flesh, my friend.

I easily understand youtr love for the clean simple and maginficient Amvox I Dial, but I can tell you that the A II is a dangerous charming watch!



Thanks for your input, my friend.

Best,

Nicolas

Nico, do you have any idea of when the AD will be able to deliver the 1st models ? any idea of the price ?

In October.

List price: 13 500 Euros, for the Titanium or the PVD.

Best,

Nicolas

Nicolas, despite this being one of the maddest posts on this forum (it is totally sublime !!!!!) i have some serious remarks. First :In the chopper you look a bit anxious, héhé ... Second: You told us you supported the Aston Martin team but it seems like a little less (see pic) ....

Third: On the last pic i have the evidence you're drinking beer again .... ... Well Nicolas, you can consider yourself a lucky B having such a tough life ... i must admit i envie you .. All the best mon ami ... El Bim

So, so, so ...

1/ Wasn't anxious at all, I love Helicopters... THe Air Hostess, even if a bit hairy, was giving us a perfect ervice!



2/ Damn, I've been mistaken!

3/ It is not beer, it is apple juice!

But I must agree on one point: I'm an inglorious B...O!



Best,

Nicolas

Glad to see some familiar faces ! Jerome and you seemed to really enjoy the event !

Congrats for the pics and report !

Fr.Xavier

Ask him what happened to a certain bottle...

…and the beginning of the race last Saturday.

 

I’m no specialist on Le Mans but assume the big straight on the upper part of the circuit diagram is the legendary Mulsanne straight, mutilated by two d@#% chicanes. How I wish some mad guy took over the circuit management and ‘tractorize’ that ugly things to allow the torpedoes cross the 400 km/h barrier in Le Mans again!!!

 

Regarding the castle, the barbecue, the booze, the watches, the chopper, the cars, the nice company… What can I say? I ENVY YOU NICOLAS

 

By the way, you’re right about the silent diesel engines– that’s a HUGE downside for a sports car 

 

Thanks so much for the report, my friend – extraordinary!!!
