Stepping up in Jaeger-LeCoultre's range
The AMVOX2 DBS emerged from Jaeger-LeCoultre's partnership with Aston Martin as something genuinely unusual: a chronograph with no pushers. Instead, the sapphire crystal itself moves — pressing the upper portion starts the mechanism, the lower stops and resets it, the crystal travelling four degrees laterally through a lever system that runs on miniature ball bearings carrying seven steel balls each 0.1mm across. That was a patented world premiere when the DBS variant arrived, and this titanium edition was limited to 999 pieces. The tie to the car goes further than aesthetics: the watch contains the transponder system that locks and unlocks the Aston Martin DBS V12. The dial reads like a tachometer face pulled from the DBS dashboard, with a dark arc interrupted between four and eight o'clock specifically to expose the lever mechanism beneath — it is a working exhibition as much as a design choice. At six o'clock, a small seconds disc carries the AM roundel. The 65-hour power reserve in the 751E means a weekend away from the wrist loses nothing, and titanium at 44mm sits lighter than the dimensions suggest.

Learn more about Jaeger-LeCoultre
Antoine LeCoultre opened a workshop in Le Sentier in 1833 and set about solving a problem nobody else had: precise measurement. His Millionomètre of 1844 was the first instrument capable of measuring to a micron, and it let the Vallée de Joux move from skilled approximation to genuine precision.
The house became the movement supplier to the industry. Patek Philippe, Vacheron Constantin, Cartier, and Audemars Piguet all built watches on LeCoultre ébauches, and the manufacture has produced well over a thousand distinct calibres — an output no other house approaches. The partnership with the Parisian retailer Edmond Jaeger, formalised in the company name in 1937, gave it the Jaeger-LeCoultre it still carries.
Two products define it in the public mind. The Reverso of 1931 was designed so British Army officers in India could flip the case and protect the crystal during polo; the reversible case became one of the few genuinely original watch designs of the century. The Atmos clock, developed from 1928, runs on atmospheric temperature variation and needs no winding at all.
The Duoplan and the calibre 101 — still the smallest mechanical movement in series production, introduced in 1929 — sit alongside the gyrotourbillons and minute repeaters that keep the manufacture at the technical front.
Richemont has owned the house since 2000.

Frequently asked questions, and things you should know about this watch
Can I swim with it?
Showering yes, swimming no. 50m covers splashes and brief immersion, but a swimming stroke generates well above the pressure that figure describes.
Will the glass scratch?
Unlikely. Sapphire is second only to diamond in hardness and shrugs off everyday marking.
Does it need a battery?
No. It is automatic — the motion of your wrist winds it, and there is no cell to replace.
Is it a men's or women's watch?
Listed as men's.
