Jaeger-LeCoultre AMVOX2 Chronograph Racing Watch: Unreasonabe Limited Edition

Jaeger-LeCoultre is going to launch a chronograph that is limited to only 24 pieces soon. Such rare timepiece is called Jaeger-LeCoultre AMVOX2 Chronograph Racing watch.

I just can’t understand what’s the point of producing such a limited number of watches. 24 pieces around the world? Even Bill Gates may not get such watch if he do not get to Paris early where the watch will be sold, should Bill shows interest to such watch.

But I guess Bill would not show interest to such a watch should he has a good taste on watches. Actually the Jaeger-LeCoultre AMVOX Chronograph is not very expensive when compared to other prestigious watchmakers, given such few watches are produced. It is estimated to be sold at 20,000 dollars.

And it has not much special features that justify why JLC would limited its production number. It does has some innovative feature that you may not find on other watch brands. According to JLC, the AMVOX chronograph features a patented vertical-trigger mechanism, which enable the wear to activate and inactivate the chronograph function by simply pressing the sapphire crystal. But such pushpiece-free system has already been applied in JLC’s previous AMVOX models, so the new limited edition actually has nothing breakthrough except for its unreasonable production number.


I think the pictures above are of different models, but I found none description about the limited edition Jaeger-LeCoultre AMVOX Chronograph at JLC’s lousy official website. I think they really should keep a archive for every their model even if they had been sold out. I think they really did not take the responsibility of being the official news source of their watches. I guess this is why it is wiser to spend your money on replica watches. The authentic watches just doesn’t justify our hard-earned money.
