The fonts for the subdials are new and the date has been placed at the 6 position enhancing aesthetics and readability.

Nice variation.

When seconds count in the four corners of the globe! The new AMVOX5 World Chronograph LMP1

[A watch based on and for the Aston Martin Racing team: the AMVOX LMP1] Back in 2004 when Jaeger LeCoultre started the AMVOX line as a co-branding arrangement with Aston Martin Racing, the watches have concentrated on the relationship with the road cars: ...  

Top report, Andrew. Less fan of the watch...

Even if it was somewhat logical to see an Amvox 5 Racing, after the same iteration on the I, II and III. I loved a lot the I, adored the II, appreciated the III, but was a bit deceived by the 5. The combination of a Chrono and a WT is cool, this is the ki... 

All good points and I agree. That said, the drivers racing there

that day really did take to the watch. Not sure the pusher mechanism that involves then looking the crystal is more complex than good old fashioned pushers? Thanks for reading and hope all is well. Wish I could have made the Paris GTG. Cheers Andrew H

Well, I kind of feel the same way

For me, the AMVOX V is the EWC in AMVOX clothing. To use your words, this one definitely deceived me, even though I think it is an attractive watch. respo

Chrono + WT ? Give me the GP (not Grand Prix but Girard Perregaux...)

Honestly, I don't get the point of this one. I find its readability very poor and the dial too busy. Anyway, it gave us the opportunity of a great report! Thanks Andrew. Fx

Aesthetically, I totally agree, FX.

Now, mechanically speaking, I would love to see a bigger movement on the WW TC. It is totally lost in such a big case. Best, Nicolas.

One of my favourite AMVOX 5.

Chief... Gorgeous! BUT!!!!!!... my only beef...

Why can JLC make a REAL world time watch that take into the DST in some of the regions in the world?? This is my major beef with this watch or any worldtime watch dont take the DST into account in their design. Is it too difficult to put the same type of ... 

Good point Bruce.

The Geographique movement is very different from this one, it is not a Chrono, its conception is not the same. But yes,n you have a point. If you are interested with such a WT, have an eye on the Parmigiani Kalpa Hemisphere. It is an excellent one. Best, ...
