Jaeger-leCoultre AMVOX2 DBS Transponder User manual

Brand: Jaeger-leCoultre

Model: AMVOX2 DBS Transponder

Type: User manual

Introduction

Congratulations on the purchase of your Jaeger‑

LeCoultre watch, and thank you for your conﬁdence.

A fruit of this shared philosophy, the AMVOX2 DBS

Transponder model manufactured by Jaeger‑LeCoultre is ex‑

clusively aimed at owners of an Aston Martin DBS. They will

be able to activate and deactivate their car’s door locking

system by pressing on the watch’s sapphire crystal, as well as

use the vertical‑trigger chronograph functions.

Please check out the operating instructions for your

Jaeger‑LeCoultre timekeeper: we hope that you will be very

happy with it.

Jaeger‑LeCoultre & Aston Martin

There is no chance involved, just a meeting of minds. Jaeger‑

LeCoultre, a benchmar k icon of ﬁne watchmaking, and Aston Mar tin,

a legendary brand and symbol par excellence of ﬁne car engineer‑

ing, were made for each other. No other ﬁeld than car “engineer‑

ing” could so effectively illustrate the sacred union dear to Jaeger‑

LeCoultre: tradition and pioneering. And this compelling need to

gain the approval of ﬁne watchmaking and ﬁne engineering could

only be achieved with another legendary brand: Aston Martin.

On the strength of a shared history and parallel assets, their

coming together was founded on respect for values and a

constant quest for technical and aesthetic perfection. Each

watch and each car are crafted with special care, in accord‑

ance with traditional rules, while using the most modern tech‑

nologies. It is the passion and taste for precision that make

these two such different worlds so similar, and remain at the

cutting edge of technology, while exhibiting the highest level

of integrity. These two brands were destined to come togeth‑

er under the same passion: meeting challenges.

Accuracy

Manual or automatic winding mechanical models

The accuracy of the mechanical movement watch models

is determined by the balance. The latter performs 21,600 or

28,800 vibrations per hour, depending on the model (see tech‑

nical speciﬁcations applicable to each model).

Despite all the care with which the Manufacture Jaeger‑Le‑

Coultre master watchmakers have made and assembled your

watch, its accuracy is subject to the inﬂuence of gravity, mag‑

netic ﬁelds, impacts and ageing of the oils. Watch accuracy is

measured by rate regularity in a variety of positions.

The nature of your constitution or lifestyle may lead to slight

irregularities. If you observe irregular running of your watch,

you are advised to take it to an authorised Jaeger‑LeCoultre

retailer, who will make any necessary adjustments.

Water‑resistance

Jaeger‑LeCoultre AMVOX2 DBS Transponder watches are

water‑resistant to 5 bar/atm. The water‑resistance of your

watch can be identiﬁed by the symbol engraved on

the back. This means that you can use your watch during short

swims or when diving in from the edge, but not from a diving

board. Nor should it be used for undersea diving or for sports

where there are signiﬁcant risks of hard knocks, such as wind‑

surﬁng and water‑skiing. Please also note that leather straps

are not suited to water sports.

Furthermore, it is essential to have your watch’s water‑resistance

checked by an authorised Jaeger‑LeCoultre retailer at least

once every 2 years, and deﬁnitely before any period in which it

will undergo prolonged and/or regular immersion.

«1000 Hours Control» test

by Jaeger‑LeCoultre

Jaeger‑LeCoultre subjects each of its watches to the rigourous

“1000 Hours Control” test programme. Unique in its kind,

this programme consists of 1000 hours of comprehensive,

stringent checks.

The “1000 Hours Control” seal or marking afﬁxed or engraved

on the back of your watch certiﬁes that it has undergone

this observation programme in our laboratories and has

passed all the tests, relating to rate regularity, temperature

and atmospheric pressure, resistance to impacts and magnetic

ﬁelds, as well as water‑resistance. Your watch is therefore

capable of withstanding the trials awaiting it in everyday life

when you wear it on your wrist.

The criteria of the “1000 Hours Control” programme go far

beyond the ofﬁcial timekeeping test standards, which concern

only part of the movement Jaeger‑LeCoultre tests not only the

movement before casing it within the watch, but also the watch

as a whole.

Built‑in transponder for the DBS car

The AMVOX2 DBS Transponder has a built‑in transmitter micro‑

system for activating and deactivating the door‑locking system

of the Aston Martin DBS sports car, which has been expressly

connected to it by an authorised Aston Martin dealership.

Pressing on the watch crystal’s OPEN position (between

8 and 9 o’clock) will activate the door opening system, while

the same action on the CLOSE position between 3 and

4 o’clock will lock the doors of the connected vehicle.

Security

The watch transponder serves a transmission function

only. This means that the code transmitted by the watch

microsystem can only be read by a vehicle with the

appropriate reading protocol, which has been expressly

enabled to use this protocol by an authorised Aston Martin

dealership.

On delivery, AMVOX2 DBS Transponder watches produced

by Jaeger‑LeCoultre come with a secured coding protocol,

but at this stage it cannot work since it is not connected

to any system or any car. The watch’s owner has the choice

and responsibility to visit the nearest Aston Martin dealership

to have the connection between the watch and the car

activated. Only Aston Martin dealerships are authorised to

enable or disenable this pairing.

Should the watch be lost or the owner decide to stop using

the watch’s locking/unlocking function, the transponder may

be immediately locked by the Aston Martin dealership at the

owner’s request, and at their sole responsibility.

No starting function

Under the strict conditions stated above, the AMVOX2

DBS Transponder watch may only activate and deactivate

the door locking system of the connected car. Under no

circumstances does it incorporate a starting function for the

car’s engine. The Aston Martin ignition key accompanying the

car is needed to start the engine.

Important note

You are reminded that the AMVOX2 DBS Transponder

watch and its locking/unlocking function are placed under

your own responsibility. You are strongly advised to observe

the elementary security rules and visually check that the

doors are properly closed.

Battery

The transponder’s electronic circuit works with a battery

reference CR1616. If you observe a malfunction or failure

of the unlocking and locking functions, please entrust the

watch to a Jaeger‑LeCoultre or Aston Martin authorised

representative, according to the terms of the international

guarantee.

Operation

The transponder system comprises a microsystem housed

on the back of the watch and an antenna. The antenna is built

into the internal surface of the watch’s sapphire crystal (via a

method known as metallisation). Its shape graphically blends

in with the ring and hour‑markers between 4 and 8 o’clock,

ending at these points via vehicle locking control contact

blocks: OPEN to unlock and CLOSE to lock.

Unlike the vertical‑trigger chronograph, which is activated by

turning the case/bezel assembly, activating or deactivating the

locking system does not involve moving the watch case. It is

done by pressing the OPEN and CLOSE zones with a ﬁnger.

The transponder range is equivalent to a maximum distance

of around 10 metres between the car and the watch.

Movement

Using the time and chronograph

functions

Starting the watch

Crown in position 1

A few clockwise turns of the crown will sufﬁce to start the

watch. It will then automatically wind up when you wear it.

Please note that the crown does not lock when winding, even

when the watch is fully wound.

Setting the hour and minute

Pull the crown out to position 3.

This locks the movement. The seconds hand will also stop.

Move the hands clockwise up to the desired time and push the

crown back into position 1. The watch will then start running again.

Date setting (fast forward)

Pull the crown out to position 2.

Move the date forward by turning the crown counter‑

clockwise. Perform the required number of turns until the

desired date is displayed in the window.

NB: date correction should not be performed between 10.30

p.m. and 3.30 a.m. During this period the automatic date-

change mechanism is already in action.

When the operation is completed, push the crown back into

position 1.

Pushpiece‑free vertical‑trigger chronograph

The AMVOX2 DBS Transponder watch has created a

revolution with its vertical‑trigger chronograph, activated by

tilting the case, and patented by Jaeger‑LeCoultre.

The characteristic pushpieces of the chronograph mechanism

have disappeared. In their place, an ingenious mechanism

allows the chronograph to be started, stopped and reset

by merely pressing directly on the watch’s sapphire crystal.

Pressing the crystal tilts the case on its “chassis” mounting

and, by means of the ingenious transmission levers that form

the heart of the mechanism, activates or deactivates the

chronograph functions.

Jaeger‑LeCoultre Calibre 751E.

AMVOX2 dBs Transponder ‑ English 3/6

The chronograph is started and stopped by pressing on the

crystal at 12 o’clock, while the counters are reset by pressing

on the crystal in similar fashion, this time at 6 o’clock.

Operation of the chronograph and timing functions

The central direct‑drive seconds hand of the AMVOX2

DBS Transponder displays the chronograph seconds with an

eighth‑of‑a‑second deﬁnition. A counter at 3 o’clock times the

minutes up to 30 minutes (after 1 turn, it continues to count

another 30 minutes). Another counter at 9 o’clock times the

hours up to 12 hours (after one turn, it continues to count

another 12 hours).

‑ The chronograph function is started and stopped by press‑

ing on the crystal at 12 o’clock. Thus, by pressing once on

the crystal at 12 o’clock, the chronograph is activated. The

central direct‑drive seconds hand will turn, and the minute

and hour timing counters will run. Pressing on the crystal

again at 12 o’clock stops the chronograph and enables the

elapsed time to be read.

‑ Pressing on the crystal at 6 o’clock resets the counters

and the central direct‑drive seconds hand. When timing is

in progress, pressing it has no effect.

Note: It is possible to add up several timing results by press‑

ing again on the crystal at 12 o’clock (without resetting the

counters). Timing will restart, added on to the previously

measured time.

Locking the chronograph functions

To prevent any inadvertent use of the chronograph functions,

your AMVOX2 DBS Transponder watch is equipped with a

locking device on the left‑hand ﬂank of the case.

In its central position, you can use all the chronograph functions.

To lock all the chronograph functions (start, stop, reset), push

the locking device upward. If you then press on the crystal at 6

o’clock or 12 o’clock, since tilting movements are limited, all the

chronograph functions are locked.

To lock only the chronograph reset function, e.g. to measure

cumulative times without risking an inadvertent reset, push the

device downward. By pressing on the crystal at 12 o’clock, you

can start and stop timing. However, if you try to press on the

crystal at 6 o’clock, since the tilting movement in this position

is limited, the reset function is locked.

Using the transponder (unlocking and

locking the connected DBS car)

Please consult beforehand the terms of use and the explana‑

tions in the chapter “Built‑in transponder for the DBS” in the

introductory section.

To unlock the vehicle doors, press on the OPEN contact

zone, situated between 8 and 9 o’clock on the watch’s sap‑

phire crystal.

To lock the vehicle doors, press on the CLOSE contact zone,

situated between 3 and 4 o’clock on the watch’s sapphire

crystal.

Please note that these actions do not make any audible signal,

or cause any movement of the sapphire crystal or case.
