As Aston Martin reconsiders its AMR-One LMP1 sports car racing project, Jaeger-LeCoultre’s new AMVOX5 World Chronograph LMP1 ($20,900) continues waving the green flag. Engineered with an easy-to-read, highly accurate chronograph paired with a world time function, the 250-piece limited edition is the latest model to emerge from the seven-year collaboration. Legibility was a priority for designers, who positioned two carbon fiber chronograph counters tracking hours and minutes at 3 and 9 o’clock, while seconds are counted off with a central hand. The dial, which evokes the air-vent grilles on the Aston Martin LMP1 prototypes, is highlighted with a Gulf Oil color scheme of orange and blue. And playing off the cars’ extreme technical features, the case is composed of robust high-tech ceramic mixed with zirconium and yttrium, which is subjected to heat and pressure to yield a material so hard that it can only be shaped with special diamond-tipped tools.

JBL SB 300 Sound Bar

You get two pieces here, a nearly 4-foot-long beam that all but disappears beneath your flatscreen yet delivers room-filling multidirectional sound, accompanied by a blocky 19-inch-high, 100-watt subwoofer to fill out the bottom end. Sort of an audio Laurel and Hardy.

WIRED Intuitive control with both top-of-bar buttons and remote. Offers both 2.1-channel output and 3-D surround. Deep, rich bass. Subwoofer is wireless.

TIRED Subwoofer is massive. $599, JBL

GM RAK e

 

In 1928, a rocket-powered car called the Opel RAK2 hit a top speed of 142 m.p.h. Nearly a century later, the RAK e concept from General Motors’ Opel division only goes half as fast despite its rocket ship looks. The tandem two-seater’s electric motor provides a 61-mile range, a trip that will cost drivers only $1.36, says GM. The car will be affordably priced to appeal to younger buyers, the company adds, thanks to a body that uses low-cost synthetic material wrapped around a steel frame. gm.com

 

BOXEE LIVE TV

For anyone thinking of cutting the cord with their cable company, losing out on live broadcasts is often the number one thing holding them back. Boxee Live TV ($50) aims to bridge this gap by connecting the Boxee Box to an HDTV antenna or unencrypted cable connection, giving you access to local broadcast stations, and replacing the typical, boring guide with a friendly show-finding interface that lets you receive recommendations from friends, and even remove channels that you never watch.
