The Laings Journal
CHANEL is the definition of high-fashion and their chic timepieces are perfect for those who covet eternal style. They’re all about ‘the allure of time’ and are elegant, chic and unique. However, the watches, although effortlessly stylish, are about more than just fashion and they are also reliable and technical watches. They have been infused with the CHANEL DNA and so live up to their high standards.
Every item from the French fashion house makes a chic statement and the romance of Paris is central to their designs. They are indulgent timepieces with a stylish twist and any fashion-lover is bound to love the gift of CHANEL this Christmas.
CHANEL LADIES CODE COCO WATCH
The unique Code Coco watch takes its inspiration from the iconic 2.55 handbag. The watch is completed with a ‘Mademoiselle’ clasp, replicating the detail on the highly sought-after bag. The stylish steel bracelet also represents the quilted motif which is synonymous with the brand. A diamond-set bezel brings the piece to life. Diamonds were Gabrielle Chanel’s favourite gemstone and a singular princess cut diamond on the upper dial is a feature that has been added in her honour. The elegant, black lacquered dial is the final statement.
CHANEL LADIES WHITE CERAMIC J12 MOONPHASE WATCH
The J12 is the most iconic CHANEL watch and is a really popular model. The white colour offers style-seekers something different and has captured the imagination of fashionistas all over the world. The J12 reinvented the codes of watchmaking and the unique design is innovative in both its technique and aesthetics. The contemporary and casual elegance is completed with an eye-catching moon-phase feature with navy blue numerals. The white ceramic strap and satin finished opaline dial add the final finishing touches.
CHANEL LADIES BOY-FRIEND TWEED WATCH
The Boy-Friend watch is inspired by Gabrielle’s first love, ‘Boy’, and it pays homage to him. Described as a male watch for ladies it erases the lines between masculine and feminine style, it’s radically elegant and has a whole new look. Gabrielle often visited Scotland, where her love of tweed began and the steel tweed-style bracelet captures the quintessentially CHANEL fabric. With an understated black dial the dazzling diamonds add a subtle touch of feminine style. It may look like a simple watch, but it certainly makes a statement.
CHANEL LADIES PREMIERE ROCK WATCH
The Premiere watch was the first timepiece that CHANEL produced in 1987. The stunning case is the same shape as the Palace Vendôme in Paris and the CHANEL No.5 perfume bottle. Gabrielle looked out on to the square every day and admired its architectural perfection, so it’s fitting that the watch designs would reflect this iconic place. The minimalistic and clean aesthetic is created using a simple black dial, whilst the double-wrap chain bracelet adds a stylish finishing touch.
