Cool watch,really
but I usually get lost on the Amvox saga,this A7 adds more confusion to tell you the truth even if its a cool watch.
My fav remains the first with the alarm,you have a pt version right?
Maybe we could have expected a bit more from a "Novelty".
Thans for the report Nico

Jaeger-Lecoultre 2012 Collection: Amvox 7 Chronograph.
Amvox 7... That may be a good surprise for all the Amvox Fans. But under a new denomination, you will discover a light evolution of the Amvox II, in fact. Let's keep in mind that from 2006 to 2010, JLC produced not less than 3772 Amvox II, which received ...

No, my Amvox One ( Alarm ) has a titanium case. LE of 1000 pieces.
This is my Amvox II which has the platinum case. Best, Mo. Nicolas
colored watch
Christmas is in the starting block ;-)) Always prefer Amvox1 in design and more discreet. The red upper crown with double power reserve indicators !!! should be with LED LOL For each its love, not mine. As you said we could expect a real novelty and not a...
Cool watch ...
Love the evolution, contrary to the revolution. I like the mechanical complexities that abound on this one. Only complain is the size. Way too big for me. Thank you for the presentation. Brilliant, as usual. Cheers, Nilo
Well the size of the case doesn't change: 44 mm.
Strangely it looks less big in the real.... Best, and thanks for your input,, Nilo. Nicolas
Well ... Slowly I'm wearing bigger and bigger ...
Of course the case diameter is only a parameter. The lugs and the case back design are the determinant factor. Cheers, Nilo
Love the power reserve and the new position of date window ...
but the subdial loss its former glory. I mush prefer the half circle display on the AMVOX II and this new dial seem a tad busier than it should to call it balance. I wasn't a fun of the original AMVOX II but I can see if there is an AMVOX 8 (hopefully not...
The " ears " shaped counters were a big part of the originality of the Amvox II, I agree.
As for the Extrem Lab II, I agree. ;) Best, Nicolas
My 2 cents
I'm not too excited by the amvox 7. Adding a power reserve in a amvox 2 design feels like a minor tweak. No WOW factor. I don't want to compare this to the ROO but somehow the amvox 7 feels like that kinda concept. A bit harsh but this comes from a jlc lo...
I tend to agree with you.
Like you, I am a big fan of the first Amvox II... So, I won't trade mine for this one. Best, Patrick. Nicolas
Well, it is always NEWS when we have a new AMVOX
As much as I had not been a fan of the proliferation of versions of the AMVOX2 and the total production numbers, I am still always excited about any AMVOX news. I can't help it, it's a delightful weakness for me. First, I am disappointed that the Madrid A...
The Amvox II had the advantage to be a TRUE novelty.
I even think that it can be considered as a Concept Watch. The Amvox 7 looks like being a cool watch, but less exciting than the Amvox 2, I think. When I knew that JLC was on to release a new Amvox, I was very excited, to tell the truth. And to tell the t...
I like it so far
Hi Nicolas, I had been really tempted by the original Amvox 2 that was the closest to perfection for me. That's the problem with great designs, once you change them it's rarely better! The following iterations had slightly altered my interest and eacg tim...
You saw it at the SIHH, my friend.... You were with me. :)))
To say all, I expected more, for the Amvox 7.... An alarm associated to the Chrono? A GMT coupled to the Chrono? A double pivoting case, one for the Chrono, another one for the extra complication? Madness and audacity don't have any limits. ;) Best, Nicol...
Hi Nico
It's nice to see a new iteration of this iconic chronograph. I just wish it had the 'Polaris' minute hand of the Amvox I and II. (same goes for the'68 TTP as far as I am concerned, the other shame with that watch is the lack of lume on most of them) regar...
Looks good
but is much too large for my taste and wrist. I also wonder sometimes if non-Aston Marin owners ever buy AMVOX watches, even ones that do not unlock the car.
I don't have an Aston ( sadly ), but I own 2 Amvoxes... :)
And I tjiink we are many in this case.... Best, Nicolas
You're not the only one Amanico, don't worry
But I am stronger than you: got an Amvox2 DBS and... no driving licence :-) All the best, Nico
Like many Amvox,
it's a watch I really have to see in the metal to make my opinion. Amvoxes are usually very "sport" looking and need to see the materials' light to judge it fairly. From the first sight, it seems very nice. I also noticed the crown's notches are very deep...
My pleasure, Mark. Have a look at it in the flesh, and tell us!
I can also show you my Amvox II, when we meet, for you to have a good idea of these 2. Best, Nicolas
It will be a pleasure. I have another question Nicolas:
As I was having another look on the pictures I noticed that the Aston emblem was hidden when the PR was full (all red) and that it appeared when it <100%. Am I wrong? It could be interesting to know how it works maybe we'll have detailed info later on ...
And the video:
which shows another emblem (no Aston Martin written underneath). On the pictures the emblem is underlined with the name. Maybe proto modifications.
How do you read the elapsed time?
amanico, Thanks for the chronological review. Amvox SEVEN? Wow, it seems like yesterday it was only Amvox 2 or 1. We cannot see Amvox 1 as the photo disappeared. Keeping the discussion to the Amvox 7, I tried to figure out how to read the diffeent functio...
So, so, so, Melvyn ....
At 3 o clock, you have a 30 minutes subdial. The Red Triangle is the " hand ", in fact a repere. The subdial is in fact a disc. Same for the 12 hours " subdial " at 9 o clock. In fact I should have written " counter instead of subdial. ;) Best, Melvyn! Ni...
Well it may not be a groundbreaker but
the new design is the best ever for this series, I love it! And I have never even liked the previous models, except 'kinda'. I love the way this brings some of the EL2 elements in! I still don't like the Aston logo on the dial or frankly, the association ...
It is difficullt to discuss " Aesthetics ". Some will like, others won't.
Nobody is wrong, here. ;) About the date, I think it doess less break the balance of the dial where it is located on this new Amvox, but I can't help thinking that it would be even better without... Here again, it is a matter of preference... Thanks for y...
I'm not sure I have ever identified my favorite Amvox II.
Many nice variants. Probably the DBS Racing. But I think I could pick a few that I would choose over this 7, at least at first glance. Interesting note about the Spanish Boutique piece not being produced.
Still in love with my Amvox II first generation, to say all.
I am not a fan of the power reserve, but I have to admit that for once, this one is well thought, with this racing " clin d'oeil ". Thanks for sharing your thoughts, my friend. Best, Nicolas
fuzzy dial
I like bi-direction red band for power reserve. It's look better than the one in Extreme Lab. But the dial is too fuzzy and not easy for reading.
Thumbs up!
The design has been streamlined and colors are better than in previous models.
