Jaeger LeCoultre - AMVOX 3 Tourbillon GMT NEW
The truism comes especially obvious when these brands belong to different markets or even different industries.
Take for example the makers of luxury watches and luxury cars. Just about any carmaker or a race team owner at least once partnered with a Swiss watchmaker to create a co-branded, “Special Edition” watch.
It is like two rock-stars that record a single together targeting each other’s loyal fans.

The Jaeger LeCoultre AMVOX 3 Tourbillon GMT Aston Martin watch (Ref. 193 C4 50), as the company is reporting in its press release, features a large 44mm case made of ceramics and 18Kt rose gold.
Its light-weight automatic JLC in-house caliber 988C with 35 jewels and a power reserve of 48 hours is protected from the outside world with a pair of sapphire crystals.

First revealed last year together with the JLC Master Compressor Extreme LAB concept watch, the movement sports lubricant-free design and is operational in a very wide range of temperatures from -40° to +60° Celsius.
Even the spring barrel, which is always greased to assure smooth operation, is now “lubricated” not with oil, but with an almost eternal graphite powder.
Unlike the previous iterations of the watch, the new AMVOX3 features such elaborate complications as a tourbillon escapement, which is clearly seen through a cut-out at 6 o’clock.

Equipped with a variable-inertia balance oscillating at a cadence of 28,800 vibrations per hour, the tourbillon is equipped with a luminous, open-worked rectangular hand and serves as a small seconds indicator.
The other complication is the second time zone display, which is indicated by an additional hour hand and complemented by the ever useful AM/PM indication at 12 o’clock.
The main hour hand can be adjusted in one-hour backward or forward increments by rotating the crown, which is really convenient, especially for those who have to cross multiple time-zones during the day.
