Jaeger LeCoultre Master Compressor Dualmatic Watches

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?

This watch brand is as sleek-looking as it sounds. The Jaeger-LeCoultre Master Memovox watch will make a comeback in 2010 and those who are familiar with the Memovox watch will find that exciting.The watch gets inspiration from the original Memovox watch which is known for being the first wrist watch that comes with an alarm function and an automatic movement. The Memovox, which was powered by a Jaeger-LeCoultre Caliber 489 movement, was first released in the market in 1950 and was produced until 1968.Since that time, the Memovox has become like the dinosaurs��extinct. However, the brand is set to release the Jaeger-LeCoultre Master Memovox watch next year and it will be powered by a Jaeger-LeCoultre caliber 956 movement with a 45 hour power reserve.The Jaeger-LeCoultre Master Memovox watch comes in a stainless steel or rose gold case measuring 40 mm in diameter. It comes with a silver dial with gold Arabic numerals at 6. 9 and 12 o'clock. There is a date display window at 3 o'clock.
