I’m down with just about any gadget that could make me feel like James Bond, and nothing would get people’s attention more than an elegant watch that also happens to unlock your Aston Martin.

“The renowned Swiss watch maker, Jaeger-LeCoultre has designed the perfect Bond watch for the owners of the AstonMartin DBS which besides keeping its basic function of tracking time can also control access to your luxury car.The AMVOX2 DBS Transponder watch has been designed as a technological partner for the V12-engined DBS. The watch-maker upstaged all the advances with this unique timepiece which is a fusion of traditional watch-making expertise and high-tech engineering. The chronograph integrates the transponder circuit into its bod serving to lock and unlock the luxury sports car, while maintaining the functions of its famous vertical-trigger mechanism. As the driver nears the car, all he need to do is press the OPEN position on the watch glass (between 8 and 9 o’clock) in order to activate the door opening system, whereas doing the same thing on the CLOSE position between 3 and 4 o’clock will close the vehicle.”

I can’t wait to see what they come up with next…
