Sport but make it diamonds with the Chanel J12 Calibre 12.1. Image: Chanel<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Watches and Wonders is underway in Geneva and when it comes to the latest collection to come from Chanel<\/a>, emphasis is on the wonder detail. While the French maison has launched several new timepieces to be excited about, two in particular have stood out: the <\/span>new diamond-studded take on the<\/span> J12 Calibre 12.1<\/span> and <\/span>the avant garde silhouettes of the Premi\u00e8re Cuff and Sautoir-Belt Watches.<\/span><\/p>\n

Starting with the J12.1\u2026<\/span><\/p>\n

A continuation of the brand’s exploration into the artful combination of materials that began in 2023 with the original J12.1, the new edition pairs 18K yellow gold with the sparkle of diamonds, set against the backdrop of its iconic black or white ceramic.<\/span><\/p>\n

\"Chanel,
From day to night…the J12 Calibre 12.1 comes in both white and black ceramic.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Aesthetic balance is key with the J12 Calibre 12.1, making it functionally pleasing in equal measure to its more overtly stunning elements. The stand-out feature of the watch sits in the bezel, which has been adorned with 50 brilliant-cut diamonds plus a dial set with 12 more\u2013if it sparkled any more you would need sunglasses to tell the time.Visible through the sapphire crystal caseback is the Caliber 12.1, a self-winding Manufacture movement decorated and endowed with a perfectly circular oscillating weight\u2014a testament to Chanel’s commitment to watchmaking excellence.<\/span><\/p>\n

One of the signature motifs of Chanel<\/a> from its earliest days has been the playful sport motifs that have underpinned much of Coco\u2019s original designs – freedom of movement in the clothing that expressed a sense of freedom. This same feeling has been captured in essence with the J12.1 series, which merges durability with luxury. The case and bracelet are crafted from black highly resistant ceramic, is water-resistant up to 50 metres and features a non-screw-down crown adorned with a black ceramic cabochon, enhancing its sophisticated silhouette.<\/span><\/p>\n

In contrast to the J12.1\u2019s \u201cathluxury\u201d blend is the sheer aesthetic pleasure of the new limited edition incarnation of the Premi\u00e8re.<\/span><\/p>\n

First launched in 1987 and known for its design inspired by the N\u00b05 perfume bottle and the iconic leather-interlaced chains of Chanel handbags, the new Premi\u00e8re Cuff and the Premi\u00e8re Sautoir-Belt are a callback a decadent era of the Chanel brand. If you can recall the iconic <\/span>Linda Evangelista campaign<\/span><\/a> where she\u2019s covered in gold Chanel branded chains, it\u2019s the same vibes, pushing the envelope of traditional watch wear.<\/span><\/p>\n

\"Chanel,
Chanel literally said “cuff it”. Image: Chanel<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

The Premi\u00e8re Cuff watch, with its bold chain and leather integration, transforms the timepiece into a striking jewellery statement, merging effortlessly with the wearer’s ensemble. The Premi\u00e8re Sautoir-Belt watch, on the other hand, epitomises versatility, doubling as a belt or necklace, encapsulating Chanel’s vision of timelessness and modernity<\/a>. Crafted in steel with an 18k yellow gold coating and featuring the collection’s signature black-lacquered dial, these watches are not only a nod to accuracy with their high precision quartz movement but also to style, marked by their limited edition status.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":30799,"featured_media":50515,"template":"","format":"standard","categories":[65,35],"yoast_head":"\nChanel Brought A Little Extra Sparkle To Watches
