Jaeger LeCoultre AMVOX 3 Tourbillon GMT watch for Aston Martin

Just like money follows the money, big brands tend to get attracted to each other.

Especially if these brands belong to different markets or even different industries. No wonder that Jaeger LeCoultre, one of the biggest players on the fine watches market, and Aston Martin, the company that produces the best exclusive cars for everyday driving pleasure, have teamed together to create this wonderful watch. Well, teamed again, since it is the third installment of the super limited AMVOX series.

The Jaeger LeCoultre AMVOX 3 Tourbillon GMT Aston Martin watch (Ref. 193 C4 50), as the company is reporting in its press release, features a large 44mm case made of ceramics and 18Kt rose gold. Its light-weight automatic JLC in-house caliber 988C with 35 jewels and a power reserve of 48 hours is protected from the outside world with a pair of sapphire crystals. Unlike the previous iterations, the AMVOX3 features such elaborate complications as a tourbillon, which is equipped with a variable-inertia balance oscillating at a cadence of 28,800 vibrations per hour, and dual time zone indicated by an additional hour hand and complemented by the ever useful AM/PM indication at 12 o’clock.

The main hour hand can be adjusted in one-hour backward or forward increments by rotating the crown, which is really convenient, especially for those who have to cross multiple time-zones during the day.
