Friends,
Just thought to share some pics, about the Easter Season,
and a watch which more recently had arrived in my stables.

Easter ( for those who celebrate it), in Central Europe, is
around the Spring Equinox, and marks the farewell of winter,
and gradual arrival of warmer days;

- also as a symbol of re-starting of nature, time of blossoming flowers,
of a fresh new beginning,

I would like to chip in some pics of a JLC classic sportswatch,
sharing DNA with the Polaris ( case, size), and first of a series
of LGM watches, as hommage of a collaboration between JLC
& Aston Martin, the Amvox Series.

It had happened, that at the time, when this Amvox I Memovox
was released, I in part had missed it and in part
wasn't that much convinced yet;

- But meanwhile, after seeing it on some friends and also here,
its strong, no- nonsense, almost bold design had been growing
in me, and I specifically was after a special color scheme of it:

My target was the one in Ti, with the dial main color in green,
( hommage to British Racing Green, probably), a black
" waffle type" center and yellow color accents of the inner
Minuterie and the outer seconds/ minute scale.

Here now some seasonal shots of one of my Easter
strolls through my home-city:

Amvox I: statement of sportiness



Strong, but charming appeal






Sending green/yellow Easter greetings !






Have a great Springtime all !

Cheers & Best,

Now you need to find the car which will go with it. Bravo, my dear friend. Nicolas

Not seen a BRG one live yet but seems like a great version - sure you will enjoy it for a long time! As for the car, the first or second generation V8 Vantage would work wonderfully with it, even if they predate the watch

And in the Austrian context it has the advantage of not requiring ruinous running costs (tax & insurance mainly)...

As a funny coincidence it was in your hometown that I saw my first Amvox at all. It was a Ti-Amvox with a dark grey dial in a little second hand watch shop. Never saw your version before but I like it a lot with the green dial and its yellow accents. Very refreshing design. Wishing you happy Easter days, Martin
