One of my target, this year, was the Amvox III, as an Happy owner of the A I and II... So, ok, on the pics, the A III is a nice watch, but the question was...Does this watch speak to me? The answer is defintely...YES. The 1st evident thing is the big and very pleasant contrast between the black cera
your nice pics and report are great as usual. For me, I was really looking forward to seeing pics of this beast when I got the call from my AD prior to SIHH. He said pretty much that this is a MUST buy. He is familiar with what I look for in a watch and had thought that this would be a no brainer purchase for me. Having seen pretty much all the pics that I could find on this piece, I am a bit let down. I LOVE the ceramic case, the sporty strap, the inclusion of a tourbillon to the Amvox line. Ho
I really think that JLC have strayed away from the association with Aston Martin on the A-III. IMHO, the closest association in the Amvox line is the A-II, with the exposed red to represent the brake calipers and the other aesthetics such as the 270 degree dial to represent the dashboard dials. You mention the grid pattern on the dial of the A-III, which does not feature on an Aston Martin cars (the radiator grill is horizontal bars). Other than the same 270 degree dial as on the other Amvox pie
is not appealing watch for me somehow too chaotic and not so beautiful yes the strap is very nice but that is about it for me :0) it feels like they wanted to do something that will be worth the greatnest of AI & II appearance and charisma but in all that effort they burned it out Sorry to say but this is for me the greatest dissapointment from JLC after a while and yes I hoped that JLC will not succumd that Tourbillon everywhere and anyway fashion Best This message has been edited by Ares501 on
I'm not for this kind of esthetic...The sober is the nicer for me, a bit like you. But, on the pics, I found this piece quite appealing, I just wqanted to reserve my final comment after seeing it in the flesh, as the truth of the reality is much more strong, and sure too. The Red crown matches not only the tourbi bridge, but also the hands, so you have an harmonious contrast in Black and Red... The red touches are subtle, not massive. The design is appealing, as I said, strong but also elegant.
I have a different opinion, here... The front gril of an AM Car is designed not only with horizontal bars...I checked. Therefore, the philosophy of the Amvox watches is still here, luxury, sport, originality... I remember very well how people in general welcomed, with a lot of scepticism, the Amvox II. For them, the design was not appealing, they wondered where JLC wanted to go, etc, etc... But at the end, the Amvox II, some months later, was more than warmly welcomed, by not all the JLC fans, b
Always great to have all kind of reactions, here, as we can feed the discussion. Your point is strong, firm ,and defiinitive... In all the JLC watches, we can't love all, and this is more evident when you have to see how prolific is this brand. The nice point is that I'm sure that even if you don't like this A III, you'll find this year some watches that will speak strongly to you, as the number of new JLC watches is impressive, and the variety too. Stay tuned, my friend, we need a bit of additi
