Aston Martin’s DBS finds its match in a new timepiece by Jaeger-LeCoultre
AMVOX DBS Transponder, the chronograph watch that locks and unlocks the DBS car
Jaeger-LeCoultre and Aston Martin have taken their partnership to a whole new level, with the launch of the AMVOX2 DBS Transponder. The fruit of nearly two years of pioneering research bridging innovative watchmaking and high technology, the AMVOX2 DBS Transponder was developed and produced by Jaeger-LeCoultre exclusively for the owners of a splendid Aston Martin DBS.
Crafted in 18-carat pink gold, the watch incorporates a micro-transmitter system serving to lock and unlock the DBS car, while preserving the functions of the now famous vertical trigger mechanism, the first mechanical chronograph without pushpieces. As the driver nears the car, all he need do is press the OPEN position on the watch glass (between 8 and 9 o’clock) in order to activate the door opening system, whereas doing the same thing on the CLOSE position between 3 and 4 o’clock will close the vehicle.
The miniaturisation of the transponder module, housed on the base, its wiring and its transmitter antenna have been completely redesigned from a watchmaker’s angle, combining technical inventiveness with a subtle and elegant integration within the overall design.
This invention will doubtless serve as inspiration for new initiatives combining watchmaking expertise and automobile performance.
