  Here we go again. Another timepiece by yet another automaker. Remember the AMVOX2 Chronograph revealed in 2009? If you do and never had the chance to buy one (it was limited to only 24 units), you’ll be happy to known that Aston Martin and Jaeger-LeCoultre will reveal the AMVOX5 Chronograph at the Le Mans Series championship race on the Paul Ricard circuit. This new and exclusive chronograph is limited to 300 units in ceramic and titanium and 200 in ceramic and pink gold. The chronograph features a winding mechanism on lubricant-free ceramic ball bearings, a large variable inertia balance and laser-welded balance spring, all of which ensure its reliability. This all-terrain caliber is inserted in a case made of high-tech ceramic combined with titanium and 18 carat pink gold. Made by compacting yttrium oxides mixed with a binder and a small proportion of zirconium oxide under high pressure, the compound is then subjected to a temperature of 2,000°C. After fluoroscopic testing for homogeneity, the ceramic block is then shaped using special diamond-tipped tools. The intensely black case weighs much less than steel, yet is twice as hard, giving the AMVOX5 World Chronograph its infallible resistance. Did you get all of that? Okay, keep reading. Jaeger-LeCoultre will also offer two Racing models made in ceramic and titanium, with a black or white dial, each in a limited series of 100. Inspired by the performance of the meteoric LMP1 Aston Martin Racing prototype, these timepieces feature chronographic counters executed in carbon fiber, punctuated with a flash of orange on the world time disc, the chronographic second hand and the overstitching on the calfskin leather strap. Press release after the jump. Press release Aston Martin and Jaeger-LeCoultre chose the Le Mans Series championship race on the Paul Ricard circuit to present their partnership’s latest creation. The new AMVOX5 World Chronograph combines the power of style and innovation with refinement and performance, in a testimony to the core values shared by the two companies. 5 comments: Jaeger-LeCoultre AMVOX5 World Chronograph With all the watches that I have seen in the car watches section, I have to say that this one doesn’t look so stunning! Its more of a ordinary compass type watch for me! I think this one is perfect for a school boy!
 Am inspired from the performance of the meteoric LMP1 Aston Martin Racing prototype (pictured), these timepieces feature chronographic counters executed in carbon fiber, punctuated with a flash of orange on the world time disc, orange chronographic second hand and orange overstitching on the calfskin leather strap, which makes it so cool.
 What a lovely watch! So simple yet elegant this is a perfect gift for your special someone isn’t it?
