====== Jaeger-LeCoultre AMVOX ======

{{wst>author|[[Foskett, Stephen|Stephen Foskett]] ([[https://grail-watch.com/|Grail Watch]])}}

**AMVOX** is a series of watches created as a collaboration between [[Jaeger-LeCoultre]] and the auto maker Aston Martin from [[2004]] until [[2016]].

===== Overview =====
The design for the overall AMVOX line was credited to [[Magali Métrailler]], Jaeger-LeCoultre's first female designer.

The name is a portmanteau of the "AM" initials of Aston Martin and the "VOX" of the historic [[Jaeger-LeCoultre Memovox]] [[alarm]] watch series, though only the original [[Jaeger-LeCoultre AMVOX1 Alarm|AMVOX1 Alarm]] features an alarm. Both the [[Jaeger-LeCoultre AMVOX2 Chronograph|AMVOX2]] and [[Jaeger-LeCoultre AMVOX7 Chronograph|AMVOX7]] feature a unique "vertical" [[chronograph]] mechanism, where the crystal is pressed at the top and bottom to start and stop the chronograph mechanism rather than using standard push pieces. The [[Jaeger-LeCoultre AMVOX5 World Chronograph|AMVOX5 World Chronograph]] features standard chronograph buttons along with a [[world time]] mechanism. The [[Jaeger-LeCoultre AMVOX3 Tourbillon GMT|AMVOX3 Tourbillon GMT]] features both a [[tourbillon]] and [[GMT]] function. There was no AMVOX4 because the number 4 is considered unlucky in the Chinese culture, and AMVOX6 was skipped as well.

Jaeger-LeCoultre also produced a non-AMVOX-branded partnership with Aston Martin at this time. The [[Jaeger-LeCoultre Reverso Grande Automatique|Reverso Grande Auto Vantage]], Ref. Q303847A, features the "wings" logo and front fascia of the car in the day/night indicator, a red "8" for the Vantage 8 convertible, and a profile outline of the car with the text "Vantage Reverso" on the back. It is otherwise similar to the [[Jaeger-LeCoultre Reverso Grande Automatique|Reverso Grande Automatique, Ref. 303]].

The Jaeger-LeCoultre partnership with Aston Martin was dissolved in [[2016]], with the automaker announcing a similar partnership with [[Richard Mille]] on March 2. This never came to fruition, however, and it was not until [[2018]] that [[TAG Heuer Aston Martin|a new partnership]] with [[TAG Heuer]] truly succeeded the AMVOX line.
