In 2023, the CHANEL Watch Creation Studio presents the J12 Caliber 12.1, adorned for the first time in 18-carat yellow gold, enhancing the masculine and feminine style of this watchmaking icon, available in black or white ceramic. The bezel and crown are both in 18-carat yellow gold and the dial is adorned with delicate touches of yellow gold with the hands, indexes and bevel in yellow gold plated.
For the first time since the presentation of the Caliber 12.1 by Arnaud Chastaingt, Director of the CHANEL Watchmaking Creation Studio, the oscillating weight, visible on the back of the watch through a sapphire crystal, is in yellow gold plated, a watchmaking signature by CHANEL.
