In anticipation of 007 Quantum of Solace, Alchemist is releasing an Aston Martin Gold Leaf “Premium Bond” DB7. The Aston Martin DB7 has 24 carat gold leaf on the body, aside from the bumpers as gold isn’t all that durable, and the gold leaf is mixed with platnium for longevity. The custom car maker Alchemist is debuting the 007 “Premium Bond” car at London’s MPH car show next week. How is the car related to 007 beyond being used in one of the films? How about seven diamonds attched to the body to commemorate the release of Quantum of Solace.

Your opportunity is almost here to feel like James Bond. Come December, Swiss Watchmaker Jaeger-LeCoultre is releasing the AMVOX2 DBS Transponder, a luxury timepiece that doubles as a key-less entry remote for the V12 Aston Martin DBS.

On the AMVOX2, an integrated transponder circuit allows the driver to open his door by pressing in between the 8 and 9 o’clock position on the watch glass and close the door by pressing in between 3 and 4 o’clock. Design elements on the AMVOX2 match the instrument panel on the DBS, from the gray bridges to the satin finish and the black dial. A suspended gray DBS symbol and a discrete Aston Martin emblem on the movement indicator further enhance the design on the AMVOX2 DBS Transponder.

Priced at €27.500 (app. $40,400), Jaeger-LeCoultre’s key-less entry watch is guaranteed to make the $262,000 DBS a more appealing option to new buyers.
