With digital time readouts appearing on just about everything these days, you need a darn good reason to wear a wristwatch. Style is reason enough if you ask us, but Jaeger-LeCoultre figures the wealthy could use a bit more functionality. Hence the AMVOX2 Transponder watch.

Hidden inside the timepiece is a micro-transmitter that can lock, unlock and locate your car. The watch has already been released for Aston Martin's DBS and Rapide models, and is now joined by the DB9 model. Simply touch where it says "open" on the watch face to unlock the doors, "close" to lock it again or hit both to activate the headlights to help you locate it. Of course you'll need an Aston Martin for it to work with, and another nearly $25,000 for the watch itself. But can you really put a price on feeling like James Bond when you're already driving his car?
