Actor Robert Downey Jr., who plays Tony Stark in the Iron Man franchise, attends Paramount Pictures & Marvel Entertainment's movie premiere of "Iron Man 2" at the Four Seasons Hotel on April 23, 2010 in Los Angeles, California in Jaegar-LeCoultre's AMVOX3 Tourbillon GMT - the wrist armor of choice.
AMVOX3 Tourbillon GMT: horology meets high technology
Above and beyond the specific codes that immediately establish the Aston Martin-related identity of this unparalleled watchmaking creation, the third model in the line AMVOX, the AMVOX3 Tourbillon GMT, immediately stakes its claim within the most exclusive fine watchmaking segment.
The extraordinary Jaeger-LeCoultre 988 movement combines the precision of the tourbillon with two complementary functions: a dual time-zone display and a date indicated by a hand that makes a big leap between the 31st of the month and the 1st of the following month, in order to avoid spoiling the view of the constantly spinning tourbillon. The open worked dial provides a clear view of the bridges and main plate, clothed in titanium in harmony with the finest watchmaking traditions. Nonetheless, Jaeger-LeCoultre and Aston Martin are never content with “mere” excellence if it does not also comprise an innovative touch –which is why the case of the AMVOX3 Tourbillon GMT will go down in history as the first ceramic case ever made by the Manufacture.
