Jaeger-LeCoultre just informed me that they will be releasing a new book called "Extreme Watches for an Extreme World" dedicated to the lovers of fine watch***. It was produced in cooperation with Stephan Ciejka, editor-in-chief of Revue des Montres. Here is what J��r?me Lambert, CEO, Jaeger-LeCoultre has to say about the upcoming book: "Everything always begins with an adventure. The desire to discover, to overcome, to attain. How about setting off for a far-distant destination?... Wouldn't it be great to climb right to the top of that mountain?... Why not descend to the very depths of the ocean?... But adventure is not only about geography or sportsmanship. It can also be about inventing something truly novel, about creating, imagining, innovating. This book is dedicated to all adventurers, explorers and other conquerors of the impossible. It tells the story of challenges, efforts and triumphs. It also tells of a key element in many such feats: time."Read the full PDF Press Release here.Source: Jaeger-LeCoultre

With digital time readouts appearing on just about everything these days, you need a darn good reason to wear a wristwatch. Style is reason enough if you ask us, but Jaeger-LeCoultre figures the wealthy could use a bit more functionality. Hence the AMVOX2 Transponder watch.Hidden inside the timepiece is a micro-transmitter that can lock, unlock and locate your car. The watch has already been released for Aston Martin’s DBS and Rapide models, and is now joined by the DB9 model. Simply touch where it says “open” on the watch face to unlock the doors, “close” to lock it again or hit both to activate the headlights to help you locate it. Of course you’ll need an Aston Martin for it to work with, and another nearly $25,000 for the watch itself. But can you really put a price on feeling like James Bond when you’re already driving his car?
