For over 20 years, Chanel has continually redefined its iconic J12 watch, blending bold design with high watchmaking. In 2022, the maison introduced the 33mm J12 with the Kenissi Calibre 12.2 automatic movement, marking its debut in the smaller model.

COSC-certified for precision, the movement offers a 50-hour power reserve and a finely decorated circular oscillating mass, visible through a sapphire crystal caseback. Paired with the 38mm J12, which boasts a 70-hour reserve, these models bring Chanel’s signature ceramic aesthetic to life, offering a perfect blend of style and high performance for any wrist size.

Among Chanel’s popular timepieces, the Boy.Friend Watch stands out as a bold choice for style mavericks. With a striking androgynous flair, it’s ideal for those unafraid to break convention while embracing the brand’s irresistible charm.

For fans of heritage design, the Première Édition Originale watch is a beautiful minimalistic nod to Chanel’s watchmaking legacy. Its iconic octagonal case, inspired by Paris’ Place Vendôme, adds a touch of nostalgia for those who treasure the maison’s storied past.

Since Gabrielle “Coco” Chanel unveiled her first collection, Bijoux de Diamants, in 1932, the maison has been redefining jewellery with exceptional creativity. Each creation is a testament to Chanel’s heritage, showcasing the finest materials, from dazzling diamonds to vibrant gemstones.

Take the Camélia collection, for instance: its delicate gold petals adorned with diamond accents are captivating. Whether you choose a ring or transformable earrings, these versatile pieces embody timeless elegance and celebrate Chanel’s iconic camellia motif. Ideal for everyday wear and special occasions, they elevate any look with effortless sophistication.
