Jaeger LeCoultre Quartz 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?

Two U.S. Navy SEALs continue to wear Master Compressor Diving Alarm Navy SEALs during deployant The National Navy UDT-SEAL Museum hosted its 24th annual Veterans Day Ceremony ("Muster") on November 7th and 8th in Fort Pierce, Florida. Members of the Jaeger-LeCoultre North American team were on hand to witness and participate in the activities, including a 5K race, a live auction, and a live capabilities demonstration preformed by US Navy SEALs. The Veterans Day ceremony honored several guests including Adm. Eric Olson, commander, U.S. Special Operations Command, and guest speaker Capt. Richard Phillips, former captain of the Maersk Alabama, who was held captive by pirates off the coast of Somalia before being rescued by the Navy SEALs. "I am honored to stand here today in the midst of the true heroes of the Naval Special Warfare, " Phillips said. "Without their training and dedication, I can honestly say that I would not be standing here today." "The muster is a great way to get both the frogmen and the public together to honor the legacy of Naval Special Warfare," McSween said. "The Museum is located on the original training grounds of the Navy's Naval Combat Demolition Units (NCDUs), which are the precursors to the modern-day SEALs. I can't think of a more appropriate location to bring the men of Naval Special Warfare together: this is their birthplace. It is great to witness SEALs revisit such an important place in their history". Among the SEALs performing the capabilities demonstration, including fastroping, a sniper demonstration, and a hostage rescue, were two individuals who are currently testing and evaluating the newest addition to the Jaeger-LeCoultre diving line: the Master Compressor Diving Alarm Navy SEALs. As part of this program, these US Navy SEALs will be wearing the watch during their deployants and operations around the world. In addition to gathering performance information about the watch in an operational environment, they have visually documented it as well.
