Description

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. To create the iconic J12 in 2000, Chanel adopted an avant-garde approach and selected a revolutionary material that made it possible to produce an intensely black watch. Extremely durable and hardly scratchable, plus seven times more resistant than steel, yet lighter and softer to the touch, ceramic is among the emblematic materials in Chanel watchmaking.


This J12 is a black ceramic and stainless steel wristwatch with a baguette-cut diamond-set bezel and dial, black highly resistant ceramic and stainless steel case and bracelet, with folding buckle. Unidirectional rotating bezel. Diamonds weighing a total of of approximately 5.85 carats. Stainless steel screw-down crown with black highly resistant ceramic cabochon. Self-winding mechanical movement, water resistance approximately 200 meters. This item is final sale and not eligible for return.
