Jaeger-LeCoultre has been associated once more with Aston Martin for the presentation of the Rapide four-door sports car at the Frankfurt Motorshow on September 2009, by launching the AMVOX2 Transponder Rapide. This patented chronograph will offer future owners of the latest Aston Martin the privilege of locking or unlocking their car by simply pressing on the sapphire Jaeger-LeCoultre watch crystal.
The AMVOX2 Rapide Transponder heralds the second generation of the revolutionary creation that sealed the ties between the Grande Maison from the Vallée de Joux and the legendary British luxury sports car manufacturer.
Released several months ago, it is the first mechanical Jaeger-LeCoultre luxury watch developed with the ability to control access into a luxury sports car by means of a built-in micro transmitter system serves to lock and unlock the Aston Martin DBS car, while maintaining the key functions of the famous vertical-trigger mechanism equipping the pushpiece-free chronograph.
The AMVOX2 Rapide Transponder is issued in a version equipped with a vertical-trigger device that appears for the first time in a two-tone edition: the base including the lugs and crown is entirely made of satin-brushed 18-carat pink gold, while the pivoting case is crafted in brushed grade 5 titanium.
