patinga Posted February 5, 2009 Report Posted February 5, 2009 Aston Martin Jaeger-LeCoultre AMVOX2 DBS Transponder Watch James Bond might drive an Aston Martin, but he wears an Omega. Too bad for 007. Anybody who has $37,900 to spare and wants to use a timepiece to access his or her car can order up a Jaeger-LeCoultre watch that will unlock the doors of his or her DBS. You do, however, still need to insert the sapphire key to start the car.
phaedo Posted February 5, 2009 Report Posted February 5, 2009 That gives me an idea. If I disassemble the remote for my car, I could put it in a watch case... oh, and it would need lazers and stuff too!
b16a2 Posted February 5, 2009 Report Posted February 5, 2009 For 37k I would want something that looks a little less like a Chinese fantasy rep
Ztech Posted February 5, 2009 Report Posted February 5, 2009 For $37k I'd just hire some guy to follow me around and open my doors.
RLudlowe Posted February 5, 2009 Report Posted February 5, 2009 And what if you don't want to wear the same watch every day? Do you have to drive a different car?
jonthebhoy Posted February 5, 2009 Report Posted February 5, 2009 How about one that unlocks the wife's purse? JTB
patinga Posted February 5, 2009 Author Report Posted February 5, 2009 Or one that LOCKS the wife's purse?
maxman Posted February 5, 2009 Report Posted February 5, 2009 I would rather invest that money into some very nice reps. Let see, decent rep about 250. Sheeeeeeeeeeet I could have about 145 nice reps. That would be a good start to a very nice collection Mike
Fidestro Posted February 5, 2009 Report Posted February 5, 2009 I believe Toyota also did this for their Crown auto in Japan, I am sure it did not cost this much. Price aside, if I had the money for the car I would buy the watch in a heartbeat.
fakemaster Posted February 6, 2009 Report Posted February 6, 2009 If I went in my ife's purse I'd get my ass kicked.
tazzman Posted February 6, 2009 Report Posted February 6, 2009 why? I have advanced key to my A5 .. it unlocks the door when I touch the door-handle .. dont need 37K for that.. audi charged like 800 also.. i dont need to insert any key..just press the start-button .. Audi - vorsprung durch technic =) btw ..got money over for a 350z also =) tazz
Toadtorrent Posted February 6, 2009 Report Posted February 6, 2009 That's not too practical for me...like Tazz said. However...if they had one that could unlock this...I'll be heading to my AD... HAH HAH HAH...
b16a2 Posted February 6, 2009 Report Posted February 6, 2009 Oh Toadtorrent they do, Jetmid had one made specially for him and his private jet collection.
Toadtorrent Posted February 6, 2009 Report Posted February 6, 2009 Oh Toadtorrent they do, Jetmid had one made specially for him and his private jet collection. ...or was it the other way around: he had Gulfstream make him a jet based on the watch he wanted??
iceberg1459 Posted February 6, 2009 Report Posted February 6, 2009 this one is much cooler and you dont need an AM DBS JLC AMVOX a mechanical watch you can start,stop,reset the chrono by touching the crystal
Corgi Posted February 6, 2009 Report Posted February 6, 2009 Maybe if it opened any car then maybe...
fakemaster Posted February 7, 2009 Report Posted February 7, 2009 It is amazing how lazt we have gotten as a society. I mean comon. You're too lazy to insert an ignition key?
relox Posted February 7, 2009 Report Posted February 7, 2009 I think we should open a new thread on this forum and offer a rep of the car and one of that watch. What do you think? I will contact our dealers. The only problem is PT and Eurotimez and Narika, which are EU based, will make the car with the driving wheel on the right... And I live in the continental Europe!!! Not to forget reps are reps and Chinese producers may forget to place the airbags, or may make the seatbelts a bit shorter than usual... You know what I mean, don
GrantR Posted February 7, 2009 Report Posted February 7, 2009 And what if you don't want to wear the same watch every day? Do you have to drive a different car? stupid thing about this watch is you still have to take your "emotional control unit" (as in a metal-case-with-a-bit-of-crystal-on-the-end styled key) and stick it in the dashboard to start the thing, the watch wont even start the car! waste of money imo, if your going to do it do it right!
Bossart Posted February 7, 2009 Report Posted February 7, 2009 I've got this amazing gadget that I always carry when using the car. It's about 2" long by 1" across and has 3 buttons on it. I press one and the car doors unlock. It also automatically sets the steering wheel, seats, mirrors etc. to my personal settings. I get in and stick this plastic unit into the dash and start the car - amazing. I stop the car, remove the unit and as I walk away I press another button and the car doors lock. I can even press the third button and the boot (trunk) opens and lifts automatically (without unlocking the doors). And I can do all this whilst wearing ANY damned watch! A pair of them come as standard equipment with the car ... :D
