Jaeger-LeCoultre AMVOX 5 World Chronograph LMP1 (Ref. Q193J480)

Earlier today Jaeger-LeCoultre announced the new, limited edition AMVOX 5 World Chronograph LMP1. This watch is meant to commemorate the seventh year of the partnership established between Jaeger-LeCoultre and Aston Martin Racing (maker of the LMP1 supercar). Counting this one, there have been 9 AMVOX models produced Ive written about a few of them here, here & here (more at JLC). The color motif and dial styling on this piece is absolutely killer the dial colors are inspired by the Aston Martin LMP1 racing car. The case is great, too ceramic/titanium. Id guess the price to be somewhere around $20,000.

    Sommelier Of The Year, Sponsored by Piper Heidsieck.

    Image
    Sommelier, its a wonderful word and so much better than wine taster, theres something rather grand and majestic about it. And why shouldnt there be a professional term for this wonderful craft? Where would we be in a sea of perplexing Pinots and baffling Burgundies? Wed be risking fine dining faux-pas, marrying the wrong vintage to the wrong dish, wasting our money and disappointing our palettes. This is precisely why Piper Heidsieck , sponsor the UK Sommelier of the Year Awards, working alongside the Academy of Food and Wine ensure that talented sommeliers are given they recognition they deserve.

    U.S. Marshalls Service on November 13th held an auction at the Sheraton New York Hotel & Towers, where Ruth Madoff’s 10.5 carat diamond ring brought in the big bucks. This was actually an auction of the belongings of Ponzi schemer Bernie Maddof. Mrs. Maddof’s diamond ring was sold for 550,000, while her diamond earrings went for over 100,000. Apart from these two jewels, other items belonging to Ruth Maddof were also sold, and they brought in a total of $2million. Bernie Maddof’s Rolex “Moon Phase” also went under the hammer for $67,500. A Steinway & Sons grand piano also brought in $42,000. The couple’s king-sized bed went for $2,250. Who bought the bed?

    Jaeger-LeCoultre Master Eight Days Perpetual 16124SQ Watch Available On James List

    Image
    Back in 2007 Jaeger-LeCoultre expelled this Master Eight Days Perpetual calendar (ref. 16124SQ) watch - as well as it still looks beautiful today. With an original cost of about $100,000 , there have been (relative) deals to be found today. The skeletonized black 'frosted' transformation is amazing to demeanour at, but you'll have to forgive the pattern for creation we hunt the bit for all the report which we have available upon the dial. The transformation tone is essentially due to ruthenium, as well as there have been pure discs all over the dial. Set in the 41mm wide 18k pinkish bullion "Master" pick up case, the watch nicely mixes classical Jaeger-LeCoultre cultured with the visible seductiveness of the complicated style skeletonized movement. Legibility is maintained through use of bullion hands as well as hour markers which contrast with the gray alternative elements which have been great. Jaeger-LeCoultre knows which people wearing the watch will be primar...
