Of all the collaborations between watchmakers and automakers, the partnership between Jaeger-LeCoultre and Aston Martin yields some of our favorite results. The Swiss timekeepers and the British purveyor and racer of GTs have together given birth to four wristwatches in the AMVOX range, including tourbillons, GMTs, alarms, chronographs and even transponders capable of unlocking an Aston’s doors. Now they’ve released their fifth: the AMVOX5 World Chronograph.

Inspired by Aston’s all-conquering race cars, the AMVOX5 is driven by JLC’s own Calibre 752 movement, with a column wheel, vertical clutch chronograph and lubricant-free ceramic ball-bearing mechanism. The movement is encased in either ceramic and titanium or 18-karat rose gold, and can instantly display the time in any zone around the world. They even replaced London on the bezel with Gaydon, home to Aston’s headquarters. How’s that for attention to detail?

Only 300 and 200 examples will be made in ceramic/titanium and gold, respectively, with an additional two 100-example racing versions to be launched in the near future. If you like what you see, have a closer look in the gallery below and in the press release after the jump.
