If James Bond was in line for the new Aston Martin DBS then you can be sure that he’d plump for the special, limited edition Jaeger LeCoultre wristwatch on offer to those that buy the top of the line 510bhp model.
After all, this is no normal watch. While it doesn’t have a laser beam for cutting through sheet metal or an in-built garrotte attached to the winder, it will unlock and start your new £150,000 Aston Martin for you. How Bond is that? The engineers actually shrank the electronics inside the DBS transponder to fit in the watch. The casing and the innards are comprised of over 200 tiny parts each and it comes in titanium or rose-gold.
Oh yeah, Aston Martin are not throwing it in as a freebie for buying the car. It will set you back a cool, £17,500. Still, if you’re paying £150,000 on a car…..-Martin Lynch

I suppose it would be really anoraky to say that JB wears Omega watches...
Ker-ching!
(apologies to Mark Kermode)
"it will unlock and start your new £150,000 Aston Martin for you"
Never before have people been so worried about losing their watch (or having it stolen)!!
Get JB's Aston Martin Car here, and enjoy...., the only issue is, you won't get any beautiful women ;-)
You all know I've been a great fan of Ian Fleming all these years. My Aston and Old Bently run like "clockwork". Amen. I'll try the watch..see if if it keeps time to the Rolex. By Pals. You always must keep up with the times. Otherwise......
By the way: Watch for the new book: DOOMWATCH, by David Kagan, author of SUNSTROKE, it is some what in the News; Google David Kagan , SUNSTROKE
