DRMW chronicles the Jaeger-LeCoultre Beverly Hills event, celebrating the unveiling of the Limited Edition AMVOX2 Chronograph Racing and the 50th anniversary of Aston Martin's Le Mans victory. The author captures the atmosphere of this exclusive gathering, setting the stage for a detailed exploration of the JLC-Aston Martin partnership.
The Amvox2 represents Jaeger LeCoultre's approach to contemporary sports timing, offered here in the Steel Black series configuration. This 44mm reference positions itself as a substantial automatic chronograph within the Amvox2 collection, distinguished by its monochromatic steel and black dial treatment.
The 44mm steel case houses an automatic movement and features a black dial beneath sapphire crystal protection. Water resistance extends to 100 meters, while a fixed bezel completes the case architecture. The steel construction and automatic movement provide the mechanical foundation for this chronograph reference.
This Steel Black series Amvox2 appeals to collectors seeking a modern Jaeger LeCoultre sports chronograph with substantial wrist presence. The 44mm case diameter and black dial configuration offer a contemporary alternative within the Amvox2 range, providing automatic chronograph functionality in a steel sports watch format. The combination of size, materials, and dial treatment positions this reference for collectors focused on modern Jaeger LeCoultre sports complications.
Jaeger LeCoultre and Aston Martin From the official JLC press release: Jaeger-LeCoultre is celebrating this event by presenting two limited editions of the AMVOX2 Chronograph Racing model, which is still the only chronograph operating without push pieces thanks to its revolutionary patented vertical-trigger system. For the first time, the AMVOX2 Chronograph Racing limited editions are distinguished by carbon fiber chronograph counters evoking several structural elements of the LOLA Aston Martin
PuristsPro.com The JLC Amvox2 Chrono Racing meets the Aston Martin DB9! Black or white dial? Excellent choice either way! Jaeger LeCoultre hand crafted, assembled, and decorated in the Vallee de Joux, Switzerland. Aston Martin, hand built in England. A perfect partnership! -MW
that the aston martin logo is green and apart from a limited editino of te AMvox1 (with a green dial, if I am not mistaken), the "british racing green" is less popular than orange. nice serie of pictures. I regret that the case is PVD titanium. A ceramic case could/would be sooooo nice.
Maybe orange color is popular as it is bright to draw the eyes more? If you look at an instrument cluster, the indicator of the speedo, rpm's,etc it is wise to use this color. I think JLC was invoking the racing partnership that they have had with Aston Martin's interior cabin timing instruments. As for PVD vs Ceramic coating, sometimes when the design team wants a certain shade of black to go with the aesthetics of the piece ceramic might not be appropriate. There are certain things where PVD i
not a ceramic coating but the massive ceramic case of the Amvox 3 which is the "new material" and finish that impressed me the most by far. JLC has invested in the equipment to produce the ceramic cases ( Amvox 3, reverso polo fields) and the equipment to machine and finish them to such high level of quality. We obviously can trust JLC to select a good PVD coating, but PVD coating tends to wear out in a couple of years. Also PVD coating makes the scratches "shine" a lot more. Good thing that JLC
The AMVOX1 R-Alarm employed a green that may have reflected the green of the AM logo, if it did not accurately duplicate the color. But my impression has been that version of the AMVOX1 was not the most popular perhpas due to the colr or perhaps to the size of the watch or some other reason...In any case, the R-Alarm may have warned JLC off from doing much with the color in future watches. Just speculation on my part, however. The green can be a difficult color to wear, and particularly the way
