Have you ever wished you could unlock your car with your wrist watch? After 18 months of research and engineering in collaboration with Swiss watchmakers
Jaeger-LeCoultre,
Aston Martin has finally introduced that option to their new (approx. $233,000) Rapide 4-door sports car by providing a watch that not only tells the time but can also lock or unlock the car. By pressing “Open” between the 8 and 9 hour mark, the
AMVOX2 Rapide Transponder key timepiece unlocks the Aston Martin Rapide, while touching “Close” between the 3 and 4 does the opposite and locks the car. This luxury watch also includes an added feature “Find Me”, which turns the head lamps on for better identification when you press both “Open” and “Close” at the same time. The “James Bond like” AMVOX2 Rapide Transponder watch can be yours after you satisfy the (approx. $33,800) price tag, but don’t forget, first you have to buy the car.
