In a partnership with Aston Martin, jaeger-LeCoultre has fired the first salvo of launching the Aston Martin-Vox 1, a beautiful Alarm watch with stunning retro looking alarm watch without the aged look!
The watch was launch in conjunction with the Aston Martin Vanquish-S, and in the words of Aston Martin CEO, the ultimate Aston Martin - The event is also planned in conjunction with the Paris Motor Show, where both the Vox1 and Vanquish S will be exhibited.
If there is a single designer responsible for the more successful contemporary JLC transformation, Magali Metrailer, together with the forward looking JLC top management must be given the full credit. And I am glad Magali has in my opinion, "DONE IT AGAIN!".
Launched in Stainless Steel model and the limited edition of Titanium (750 pieces) the Steel version looks stunningly sporty and the Titanium looks understatedly "machine" like!
Jaeger counter instruments were used in 75% of cars and 95% of Sport Cars in Britain at one time and were used in Aston Martins as early as the twenties, furthermore, 2005 was the 40th anniversary of both the Jaeger-LeCoultre Memovox Diver watches (what the American called the Polaris - note that Jaeger-LeCoultre factory has never termed the model as Polaris) and the Aston martin DB5. (edited by TM to correct for typo - originally incorrectly typed as 60th anniversary.)
Certainly I will report more on the launch event and the story behind the Vox1 in details at a later date, meanwhile, enjoy these photos!
(The real Vox1, the final production will have a few very minor changes and a completely antireflective sapphire crystals -notice there is no bezel)

And based on early scramble by retailers to get more allocation, I must advice those who are alreadyinterested to book the Titanium piece early with your retailers!..
The watch will be delivered only in 2005
