Jaeger-LeCoultre's AMVOX3 Tourbillon GMT Featured in Iron Man 2 Movie and Now at King Jewelers Nashville, TN




King Jewelers is proud to offer this fall 2010 the Jaeger-LeCoultre AMVOX3 Tourbillon GMT recently worn by the character Tony Stark in the movie Iron Man 2, played by Robert Downing Jr. The Jaeger-LeCoultre brand was prominently featured throughout the movie, with the lead actor wearing several timepieces from the AMVOX, Reverso (Grande 985) and Master Grand Tourbillon (1833) collections. To celebrate the launch of the Jaeger-LeCoultre AMVOX3 Tourbillon GMT, King Jewelers Nashville was selected to visually showcase this amazing creation of horology graphically designed with the integrity of the Iron Man 2 movie.

“Jaeger-LeCoultre is thrilled to have our timepieces showcased on the wonderful character of Tony Stark played by the phenomenal actor Robert Downey Jr.” said Jaeger-LeCoultre CEO Jérôme Lambert. “We have no doubt that the film will be a fantastic success.”

Recognizable by its unique design, incarnating the essence of legendary sports car brand Aston Martin and Jaeger-LeCoultre, AMVOX3 Tourbillon GMT is a technical masterpiece of the very highest order of watchmaking. Jaeger-LeCoultre Calibre 988 combines the precision of the tourbillon with two complementary functions: a dual time-zone display and a date indicated by a hand that makes a big leap between the 31st of the month and the 1st of the following month, so as to never obstruct the view of the spinning tourbillon. The open worked dial provides a clear view of the bridges and main plate, clothed in titanium in harmony with the finest watchmaking traditions. Going further still on the quest for excellence and meaningful innovation, the case of the AMVOX3 Tourbillon GMT is the first ceramic case ever made by the Manufacture Jaeger-LeCoultre.

Jaeger-LeCoulture's focus on invention in 2010 and its spirit of technical innovation have yielded an exciting collection of timepieces that are now available at King Jewelers. For more information, please visit http://www.jaeger-lecoultre.com and http://www.kings912.com

July Spotlight Birthstone: RUBY

July Birthstone Spotlight: Ruby

The gemstone ruby is the red variety of the mineral Corundum (the word "ruby" is a derivative of the Latin word for "red"), which is the second hardest mineral (after Diamond). It comes in a variety of colors, and is considered a sapphire in any color except red. Rubies range in hue from an orangey red to a purplish red, but the most prized gems are a true red in color. The ruby is among the most highly prized of gems throughout history; considered to have magical powers, it was worn by many royalty as a talisman against evil. The red glow of this stone is also thought to represent an internal flame that can not be extinguished, symbolic of everlasting love.

This month’s featured birthstone jewelry piece is from the King Jewelers Custom Designs collection, a ruby and diamond cocktail ring set with a stunning 14.30 carat oval-cut Burmese ruby. Two trapezoid diamonds and a micropave band complete this 18 carat white gold ring. For more information, visit Kings1912.com
