Jaeger LeCoultre Watch - remote for your Aston Martin DBS
For $367,000 You Can Be Like James Bond
It's a high price to pay to fulfill a fantasy, but if you've got it, why not spend it? Luxury automaker Aston Martin is now offering a Bond-worthy limited edition Jaeger LeCoultre wristwatch for their new DBS vehicle that will not only unlock the car, but also start it.
The watch, which carries a $35,000 price tag, is only available to those who purchase the Aston Martin DBS vehicle, which itself costs $332,000.
For that kind of cash, purchasers will be getting not only one of the world's hottest cars, but also one of the most complexes timepieces in the world. The watch has over 200 parts used just for the casing, and an additional 200 parts for the watch movement itself. They also managed to shrink the electronics inside the DBS transponder so it would fit inside the watch.
With the new watch and the car to go along with it, you'll be able to ditch the keys for good. Jaeger boss Jerome Lambert has also hinted that there's an even more expensive model in the works.
For now, however, buyers are limited to choosing between the grade 5 titanium model watch, or the more exclusive rose-gold edition.

BlancPain Watch - Tourbillon "Fifty Fathoms"
This is a real beauty! Out of all the watches that we've seen this would be on our top list!
BlancPain Tourbillon "Fifty Fathoms", SPORT, power-reserve indicator, black dial, unidirectional bezel, self-winding
Blancpain has perfected and miniaturised this masterpiece of the watchmaking art. Its power reserve eliminates the necessity of daily winding and guarantees optimum precision due to the slower more regular detent of its barrel spring.
Today, as in 1801, the Tourbillon represents one of traditional watchmaking’s masterpieces. Paying tribute to this exceptional invention, Blancpain presents Tourbillon watches water-resistant to 30-100 meters.

German Physiks Loreley MK II speakers radiate full-range frequencies in a full 360 degrees
THE LORELEY MK II
The Loreley employs four DDD bending wave drivers per side mounted in a similar line source array, but lacking the motorized positioning feature.Two large bass enclosures per side incorporates four 12" inverted dome drivers, with a 3" maximum excursion per driver, the low frequency output of this system is prodigious, exceeding 110 dB at 18 Hz. These sub bass drivers are the largest domes ever constructed. Distortion levels are typically a tenth as much as those of conventional 18" subwoofers at comparable outputs, and acceleration and transient response are far superior due to the immense magnetic forces generated by our massive rare earth magnets, and the very high stiffness of the dome diaphragms.
Bi-amplification is mandatory, and the German Physiks electronic crossover ist standard. Power compression, the reduction in dynamic range attendant upon heating of the voice coil, is much reduced over conventional woofer cones due to the ultrawide underhung voice coil and triple magnet structure used in our low frequency drivers. Power handling is correspondingly greatly increased over that of conventional designs. Simply put, the Loreley bass system cannot be overdriven by conventional amplifiers regardless of power rating.Cabinet finish is entirely comparable to that of The Gaudi, and performance approximates the larger system up to quite high listening levels. In smaller listening spaces, The Loreley will more than hold its own against any speaker system at any price. With optional Electronic Crossover. Pricing: $165,995 with venner finish $179,995 with high-polish veneer finish $199,995 with carbon finish |
