Jaeger-LeCoultre and Aston Martin started their partnership about ten years ago and the two brands continue to share the same dedication to excellence and innovation. La Grande Maison was founded in 1833 while the British car maker was founded in 1913 so year 2013 is an important anniversary for both: 180 years for Jaeger-LeCoultre and 100 years for Aston Martin. To celebrate, Jaeger-LeCoultre presented the new Master Hometime Aston Martin and two other timepieces.

The Master Hometime Aston Martin (ref. Q162847N) stands out for the structured sunburst black dial which emphasises the sporty nature of the watch just like the satin-finish middle strip of the 40 mm case.

The crimson-tipped openworked hand displays the time zone of the place of residence and it is combined with a 24-hour counter at 12 o'clock. The small seconds sub-dial is symmetrically positioned at 6 o'clock.

The time indications are adjusted in one-hour increments, either forwards or backwards, in order to display local time immediately upon reaching a given destination.

When you don't need the display of a second time-zone, the two hour hands can be brought back to the superimposed position so that you will only see the main hour hand.

The beautiful classic case houses the automatic Jaeger-LeCoultre Calibre 975H, crafted, assembled and decorated by hand and offering a 48-hour power reserve. The Master Hometime Aston Martin is water resistant to 50 mt.

As written above, Jaeger-LeCoultre presented two other timepieces to celebrate the partnership:
