New watch gives drivers secret-agent status
Look out Goldfinger, James Bond is just around the corner with his Aston Martin DBS and a fancy new watch.

The watch is not from Q's lab. Jaeger-LeCoultre in Switzerland has crafted a watch that has a transponder inside that can unlock and lock the doors of an Aston Martin DBS as a key fob would.

Engineered by Jaeger-LeCoultre, the AMVOX2 DBS watch features a metallic gray DBS symbol in the middle of the face, two smaller faces and open and close buttons for control of the DBS. The outer dial ring has an opening that shows the internal mechanisms of the watch, a nod to the DBS's exposed brake calipers.

Creating the watch took more than just slapping the stuff from a key fob into a watch. Eighteen months of engineering went in to building the timepiece. The parts are a new design; watchmakers miniaturized the components, including the antenna, which had to be placed in a way that would not interfere with the watch's operation.

The user touches the sapphire crystal face near the open or close button for the transponder to work. It has no push buttons--even the stopwatch function is activated by touching the glass.
