When CHANEL presented its first watch, La Première, in 1987, the watchmaking world was abuzz. Thanks to its bold design and artisanal expertise, CHANEL Horlogerie offers iconic watches that embody the aesthetic codes of the House.
Timeless elegance is always contemporary
From the 1920s onwards, Gabrielle Chanel made boldness her trademark. By combining her designs with exceptional craftsmanship, she always offered exceptional products, whether in haute couture, perfumery or make-up. Arnaud Chastaingt explores the world of luxury watchmaking with these Pop Art-inspired timepieces. Enamelling, gem-setting, painting and even sculpture make each watch a unique work of art that enhances the energy and elegance of a CHANEL creation.

PREMIÈRE GALON - 18K yellow goldTHE SUBLIMATED SEWING BRAID ON YOUR WRIST
Gabrielle Chanel had a particular fondness for sewing braid. It is magnified in this 18K gold bracelet, which is a pleasure to slip onto your wrist. What better tribute could there be than to infuse this boldness and creative freedom into the design of a watch, the Première Galon. Its 18-carat yellow gold bangle bracelet, twisted like braid, enhances the minimalist black dial. Also available in diamond-set versions, the watch combines couture spirit with jeweller's brilliance.
AN ICON REINVENTED
It took the creative team at CHANEL Horlogerie five years to come up with this sublime interpretation of the iconic J12. By opting for matte ceramic and the blue colour that is omnipresent at the heart of the House of CHANEL, the watchmaker has created a timepiece that is both modern and timeless. This blue, often described as an illuminated black, elegant and mysterious, is found on nine models, some set with sapphires, offering the wearer of a J12 BLEU a feeling of exclusivity mixed with discretion.
