JLC which model? Stunning.

[JOETHETOE]

Does anyone have anymore info on this watch, looks like a Tourbillon so out of my reach for now but absolutely love the look of it as well as the JLC brand so interested to find out more.

Is this the correct one?:-)

Not a tourb but some cool functions, the chronograph is set by pressing the Sapphire crystal at 12 o'clock and reset by pressing the glass at 6, neat!

I adore this watch.

That could well be an Aston Martin tie up that they have.

Nice.

Edit: oops - should have looked at the linky first - I think that's it.

I thoughts so too but it looks as though some of the dials are different etc? may just be because of the photo etc

Its an AMVOX Chronograph DBS.

"Limited" Edition of 999 in titanium at CHF17,400 or 300 in pink gold at CHF 29,900.

Prices from the '08 catalogue/price list.

Cheers Tertius, not for me pricewise but a "dreamwatch"

Silly question but CHF??? (CHF 17,400)

Yup.

Sorry got the catalogue in Zurich hence a Swiss price list.

I make that about 10k sterling so still to dear at the moment.

Got my eye on a Master Comp Chrono Extreme, second hand within 18 months. FINGERS CROSSED

I'm currently saving like mad to get an AMVOX! This post isn't helping my craving!!

These really are superb watches, a great manufacturer but with a contemporary aesthetic (although the AMVOX is abased on a 60's Memovox Polaris body): a good mix.

The AMVOX1 is gorgeous, more understated than the DBS. The gong for the alarm is beautiful - feels like a true 'old type' of watch (I think I mean it feels hand made and really special).

Certainly makes you re-asses the watch hierarchy when you experience watches such as JLC.

I have just seen the JLC AMVOX2 DBS Transponder.

After the chunky enormousness of my new-ish PO, I've gone all wibbly for the JLC Master Control Ultrathin.
