Watch Start for Aston Martin owners

For those sick and tired of living vicariously through James Bond, Aston Martin is giving buyers of the ?240,000 ($330,864) DBS coupe the chance to add on a svelte wristwatch that will actually lock, unlock and start their new vehicle. The limited edition Jaeger LeCoultre AMVOX2 chronograph not only boasts "over 200 parts to its casing and an equal number in the watch movement itself," but it will include a miniaturized form of the "DBS transponder electronics" within the base. Owners of the timepiece will be able to leave the key at home in a vault and crank their new ride up with the touch of a watch, but the convenience will cost you a stiff ?25,000 ($34,465) on top of the car's purchase price.

You're my age.  We're getting old.  Plus, now that you're married, your life expectancy has gone way down, since you're more likely to be poisoned by your wife.

I have a faint memory of Tomorrow Never Dies that Bond could drive the car from his phone. Was it a Nokia Communicator?

FAINT? FAINT?!

Utter worthless scumbags we have on this forum. Let me send you my James Bond box collection. Spend 3-4 days watching every single one and then get back to us.  :lol:

The only Bond movies I haven't seen at least 3 times are GoldenEye and Tomorrow Never Dies

Did you read my post clearly? I said that those are the only ones I HAVEN'T enjoyed. My favorites are "The Man With The Golden Gun", "Octopussy", "Casino Royale", and "Dr. No".

Sean Connery is the only true Bond.

Tomorrow never fies is a great bond flick. Quite a pricey watch

If you are such a Bond buff you should know exactly how Bond drives the car! It's probably the best scene in the entire movie.  :rolleyes:

Damn, $35k will buy you an insane motorcycle and a decent used car!

The car that he drives from his phone is the 7 series, no?

I wonder why no one else has thought of that? It does not have to be a Jaeger LeCoultre  watch a "cheap" Breitling would suffice. It is a cool way to start the vehicle and convinient to. You no longer have to carry the key or transponder around.

Now, this is a fine idea. It's brilliantly pointless, but the very definition of awesome.

brilliant.

now add some more stuff to the watch! like a laser beam!

And so you touch this limit, something happens and you suddenly can go a little bit further. With your mind power, your determination, your instinct, and the experience as well, you can fly very high." - Ayrton Senna
