Getting into your automobile is getting slicker all the time. Remember when you used to have to physically put your key in the door to get inside? Most undignified. Keyless entry remotes were followed by automatic proximity transmitters that unlock the doors for you when you walk up to the automobile. But even that requires a superfluous keychain dongle. Swiss watchmaker <a href="http://www.autoblog.com/tag/jaeger-lecoultre">Jaeger-LeCoultre</a> has the answer, but only if you happen to drive an <a href="http://www.autoblog.com/make/aston-martin">Aston Martin</a>. And have nearly $25k to spare.<br />
<br />
Following the transponder wristwatches unveiled for the <a href="http://www.autoblog.com/model/dbs">DBS</a> and <a href="http://www.autoblog.com/model/rapide">Rapide</a>, JLC has now announced the AMVOX2 <a href="http://www.autoblog.com/model/db9">DB9</a> Transponder. It features a touch-sensitive sapphire crystal face: touch the glass where it says "open" and it unlocks the doors. Press where it says "close" and it locks 'em. Press both at the same time and the doors stay locked, but it will help you find your automobile by turning on the headlamps. Nice trick, all enabled by a micro-transmitter built in to the titanium timepiece. Details in the press release after the jump.<br />
