Beverly Hills, California Jaeger LeCoultre Beverly Hills Boutique Team PuristSPro was invited to the unveiling of the Limited Edition Amvox2 Chronograph Racing and the celebration of the 50th anniversary of the Aston Martin 24 Hours of Le Mans racing vict...  

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 ...  

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 pe...  

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 ... 

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 M... 

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... 

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 si... 

Is the British Green Racing... Another link to the wrold of super cars... Best, Nicolas

Nothing could be more impressive than pulling up to the JLC Beverly Hills Boutique in a Aston Martin DB9. The roar of the V12's 470 hp had everyone's attention. Ms. Francesca Smith, PR Manager for AM North America arrives in style! Cool watch...check! Coo...  

The DB9 is my Dream Car.... Fantastic pics, Ming! Thanks for sharing this pure moment of Beauty. Best, Nicolas

Coming soon in Part5.... -MW This message has been edited by DRMW on 2009-08-03 02:05:24...  

For some reason they make me very happy. Thanks for posting so many great photos of sme lovely watches. Ming, was that your Rossi Chrono in one of those shots? Nice!!!! Did you try on the AMVOX3? respo

Hello respo! Thanks for the compliments and glad you are happily enjoying the photos! You have sharp eyes, I was wearing my favorite JLC that day...my MC Chrono 46! I was fortunate enough to spend some wrist time with all three watches and could have star... 

I am a little heavy on black dial watches at the moment, so a white dial appeals to me more. I am also not a big fan of black cases in general, with some exceptions. You can't go wrong with either of these racing editions, though, can you? respo

Can't go wrong either way! -MW

you cannot go wrong with any of the models Cheers

if I am getting another one or not.... I agree though on the white dial I am thinking....... Maybe its a bit too much to have two........ Cheers

So yes, it may be a bit too much... It wouldn't have been the seam if you had the First Amvox II... Although, even in this case... Best, Nicolas

even so....... The Amvox is such a great watch Cheers

The Racing is so different in its aesthetics... Ouch! Best, Nicolas

I hesitate a lot between the white and the black dial...With a very light preference for the white... As it looks a bit like a modern reinterpretation of the Paul Newman Chrono... But I will come back to spea about these 2 models in some weeks. Best, Nico... 

Hi MW, You have all the aspect well covered,thanks. BHK9

Thanks for looking! What do you think of these Amvox2 variants? Black Dial or White? -MW

Hi MW, Hmmm..... If you ask me to choose from the two,i would prefer the black to the white ones. Black with the two case in black definately bring out the out look from far and the dial's combi are far more masculine and have this racing-hot blood flows ... 

The DB9 would be my choice out of the current Aston lineup. Looks like a fun event. Great cars, great watches, all in sunny Beverly Hills. It's a hard job, MW, but somebody's got to do it, right? You lucky, fella! Thanks for the great pictures and informa...

weeks ago, we attended these Amvox and and Aston Martin lauch in Singapore. it is wonderful idea of using watch to control the car. of course the Amvox is great of itself. stefan

Did you like the Black or White dial better? -MW

I find myself very drawn to the white dial. It has a very special aura about it. The tractor beam has been activated...

I know what you feel! Best, Nicolas

I have handled some of the other Amvox chronos and they are all nice. A co-worker owns and frequently wears the RG LE version. It is stunning. But these new iterations have a very unique look to my eye.

I think it's the partial open dial and carbon counter discs that makes this particular version so appealing. -MW

"It has a very special aura about it. The tractor beam has been activated... " Michael you cannot resist! I see a white dial JLC in your future! What are your opinions of the strap? I felt that it was a great sporty match to the Aston Martin racing elemen... 

i initially didnt like the look of it, but these pics have changed my mind. the pics of the beautiful women in positions of responsibility within AM and JLC are also lovely to see. there's nothing more exciting than a beautiful woman with Power(not Margar... 

Hello Graham! You are correct on the tranny is located in the back to accomplish the near 50/50 ratio that everyone strives for. I mentioned the carbon fiber drive shaft and the engine placement but forgot to tie it in with the gearbox. Thanks for remindi...  

Clearly we see automotive cues in its design as well. Is the color behind the holes a light blue? It looks great IMO. It looks pliable and comfortable. Any other shots showing the clasp too?

The strap perforation are white, I think my camera white balance setting/difusser makes it look that way. The deployant clasp is the JLC double deployant. I will have video up shortly of the watches. -MW

Fantastic pictures, thanks a lot. Here's what i think on 2 new Amvox Racing: - i love the strap. The orange is fantastic with the black, and overall the racing aspect is perfectly conveyed - If i had to choose between the two, with no hesitation, the whit... 

Hello Xavier! Thank you for looking and sharing your opinions! Any other JLC's on your must have list? -MW This message has been edited by DRMW on 2009-08-03 14:28:44

I had a EWC Rossi i traded off a couple of weeks ago because i found RG was too heavy for me and as i viewed the EWC as an everyday tool watch, it kind of defeated the purpose of having the heavy rose gold version. I had a 'basic' EWC that i got rid of la... 

I feel the exact same way about the SS EWC. I hope you get it back soon. Good luck. respo

As you, I didn't like a lot the idea to see a new Amvox II... I'm an happy owner of the first version of the Amvox II, and it is still honeymoon. But the more I see this new one, the more I like it... I had the same reserves about the hour / minute hands,... 

You ordered one already???? White dial, I assume? Excellent, my friend! After all, your other AMVOX2 might be lonely. LOL. Looking forward to your promised post on the racing AMVOXi. Best, respo

Can't tell you more for the moment... Best, Nicolas

...can't wait to see it. ;-)

did you order? and I thought that I was nuts wanting two Amvox 2 DBS....... Cheers

Will tell you in a few weeks... Best, Nicolas

...but that is what the AMVOX2 does to otherwise, nearly sane people. ;-) respo

Which one do you prefer? White or Black dial for the Amvox2 Chrono Racing, regular titanium or black PVD? -MW

My question would be, which would scratch more easily?! PVD vs. Tit!?!? Thanks, Matrix.

PVD coated titanium, Matrix. One of my friends has one for 2 years, now and wears it very often. No problems on his. Best, Nicolas

I thought MW's question was "regular tit or black PVD"!? Thanks for the clarification... B well my friend, Matrix.

been lurking along thepurist sites for like 6 months...and I have always enjoyed your work... ever contemplated work as a photo journalist? THANKS AGAIN for a great writeup and photos...

These vids take time to edit. As they are in HD I'm looking at the best options to post as I don't want it compressed too much. Hope everyone is enjoying the pics! -MW...
