Gaydon, Le Sentier, 10 March 2009. Jaeger-LeCoultre, the reference in fine watch making, is extending its relationship with Aston Martin by becoming the official Watch Partner of Aston Martin Racing. The three year technical partnership will see Jaeger-LeCoultre produce a special limited series of Aston Martin Racing watches, details of which will be announced in June, at the Le Mans 24 hour race.

Aston Martin and Jaeger LeCoultre most recently worked together on the AMVOX2 DBS Transponder, the first watch developed with the ability to control access into a luxury sports car, a fusion of traditional watch making expertise and high-tech engineering.

There is no doubt that the new LMP1 car will showcase the highest level of daring performance, a value shared by both companies, leading to exciting achievements.
