To celebrate eight years together, Aston Martin and Jaeger-LeCoultre have introduced the AMVOX7. It is the first vertical-trigger chronograph to include a power-reserve display, and the design borrows heavily from Aston’s newest cars. Case is titanium, grade 5, 44 mm wide and a chunky 15.6 mm tall. Polished here, brushed there. Both logos engraved on the caseback, so the watch does the name-dropping for you.
Inside is the Calibre 756, running at 28,800 vph with 65 hours of reserve. Nearly three days off the wrist, which anyone rotating a collection will tell you is the number that actually matters.
It lands December 2012 or January 2013 at $26,000. Money aside, that crystal trigger alone is worth a trip to the boutique.
