The fruit of pioneering research bridging innovative watch and high technologyThe miniaturization of the transponder module, Corum 285-190-20-F171-FM50 Men's watch housed on the base, its wiring and its transmitter antenna have been completely redesigned from a watch perspective, combining technical inventiveness with a subtle and elegant integration within the overall design. The research and development required over 18 months of dedicated work by Jaeger-LeCoultre's engineers, as well as intense collaboration from Aston Martin.
While it is relatively easy to understand how to operate the AMVOX2 Rapide Transponder, actuallyit represents a daunting challenge in both technical and design terms. In a first phase, the engineers focused on miniaturizing each part of the transponder in order to reduce it to a size that could fit inside a watch case featuring a Corum 285-181-20-F732-TIGR Men's watch thickness and diameter ensuring optimal user-friendliness and comfort - while also meeting the technical and security specifications inherent to the car itself. The end result is a module weighing just a few grams and less than half the size of the same system inside the Rapide key.
Nonetheless, miniaturization was just one of the stages in a global process that led researchers to entirely rethink the geometry and the wiring from a Corum 285-181-20-F701-SHRK Men's watch watchmaker's perspective - a high-tech feat that called for 18 months of meticulous engineering work. Developers also had to take account of a major technical constraint. A mechanical watch acts like a Faraday's cage that protects the movements from the influences of electrical fields that may adversely affect the rating precision.
