For the first time, an intense matte blue elevates the highly resistant ceramic of the J12 watch. With this unique shade exclusive to the House, the CHANEL Watch Creation Studio gives time a new allure. Discover 9 interpretations with or without blue sapphires, including 5 Haute Horlogerie pieces. Limited editions.
It took years of research to develop a ceramic in a colour unlike any other. A unique shade, too blue to be black, too black to be entirely blue.
7 times stronger than steel but also lighter, CHANEL’s highly resistant ceramic withstands all the tests of time. Its matte finish requires several additional meticulous and innovative manufacturing processes.
An exceptional creation equipped with the Calibre 12.1, an automatic movement produced by the Kenissi watchmaking Manufacture in Switzerland, co-owned by CHANEL, and chronometer-certified by the COSC*.
In La Chaux-de-Fonds, Switzerland, the heart of the watchmaking world, lies the CHANEL Watch Manufacture. Starting with the launch of the emblematic PREMIÈRE in 1987, every timepiece imagined by the Creation Studio has come to life in this unique place that brings together the passion of expert craftsmen, the excellence of traditional savoir-faire and the precision of innovative technical tools.
From the first designs to the final checks, the creation of a new CHANEL timepiece involves the close collaboration of many complementary métiers driven by the same impetus. An in-depth dialogue takes place between the Creation Studio in Paris and the Swiss master watchmakers.
Each watch begins as an idea that takes shape at the Watch Creation Studio, directed by Arnaud Chastaingt and located at Place Vendôme in Paris, steps from rue Cambon, the epicentre of the CHANEL universe.
The creative gestures of the designers are followed by the skill and meticulousness of the master watchmakers, who realise the ambitions of the Creation Studio at the CHANEL Watch Manufacture in La Chaux-de-Fonds.
