Leonardo DiCaprio has teamed up with watchmaker Jaeger-LeCoultre to develop two exclusive timepieces.

The activist actor - who campaigned for people to be more ecologically aware in his documentary 'The 11th Hour' - has worked with the Swiss company to create the 'Time to Care' programme, with profits from the watches going to the Leonardo DiCaprio fund, which is part of the California Community Foundation.

Leonardo said: "We all have to do our part to raise awareness about global warming and the problems we as a people face in promoting a sustainable environmental future for our planet."

The first of the two watched is a unique Master Compressor Extreme Lab, a one-of-a-kind timepiece featuring carbon fibre and titanium casing with an automatic tourbillion, two time zones and comes complete with an engraving of the actor's signature on the back. It is valued at $300,000.

It is also the same watch Leonardo wore to the premiere of 'The 11th Hour', which focused on the state of the world's natural environment.

The second watch is a limited edition Reverso Gyrotourbillon 2, which is made of platinum and was designed for the 175th anniversary of Jaeger-LeCoultre, and is valued at $400,000.
