A UNIQUE AND INIMITABLE STYLE
Mademoiselle Chanel had a very special relationship with Place Vendôme as she was privileged to live there at the Ritz Hotel. She could exit via the rear door and walk to her office, workshops and boutique, all situated on the Rue Cambon. The Place Vendôme that she had once challenged when launching her first collection of diamond pieces during a period when the world was plunged into a deep economic crisis and the luxury houses of the place were suffering from the effects of recession: it was the first time that a “couturière” took the risk of creating fine jewelry pieces. For Gabrielle Chanel, this was not her first transgression, as she was the first fashion designer to dare launching her own perfume – the famous N° 5, with its bottle and stopper subliminally adopting the shape of Place Vendôme. In setting up its watch and fine jewelry activity in Place Vendôme in 1993, CHANEL confirmed its historic affinity with this location that had, from its creation, been
at the forefront of Parisian urban design before evolving into an incarnation of timeless architectural elegance. It was clearly not by chance that the creation of the Première watch also adopted the shape of Place Vendôme, with its hands positioned in such a way as to evoke the Vendôme column in the center of the Place. CHANEL watches are, first and foremost, CHANEL creations before being timepieces. They must respect the cultural codes associated with CHANEL creations, inspired by the ardor that had always guided Gabrielle Chanel in her involvement with fashion and time. Simple aesthetic codes at the service of great formal freedom: black, white, pearls, quilting, white gold and white diamonds for materials; purity, surprise, and true chic for line. Much creative sincerity for timeless modernity, which never limits itself to mere design and thus may flourish with style and allure. Twenty years after the launch of the Première in
1987, the magic still continues, whatever the watches’ size, choice of materials or setting. The subsequent collections have all respected the same stylistic charter, found in the watches’ character and personality rather than in its brand name. It is known that Gabrielle Chanel never particularly fancied women’s watches of her time. They were either too small to be practical or too precious to be functional. She was attracted to the aesthetics of men’s timepieces.
has over the years been endowed with the most refined mechanical “complications”. The story has only just begun between CHANEL and timepieces. It began at Place Vendôme in the private mansion which a glimpse back in time - once belonged to the Duke of Westminster, one of the men said to have had a large effect on the life of Mademoiselle Chanel. Next, the story moves on to the Swiss watchmaking valleys, where CHANEL set up a watch manufacture and workshops meeting its demands for high quality and authenticity. Then, it continues on the wrists of all those who consider that a timepiece represents much more than just an object for telling the time: from now on, in the empire of signs where we live and in the sea of images which is imposed upon us, a watch expresses the very essence of a personality, a conception of elegance and as Gabrielle Chanel said - one’s « allure » better than any other object of adornment.
The J12, considered to be the first true watchmaking icon of the 21st century, is the modern illustration of this idea. A style both sporty and masculine, which can sometimes be dressed up in baguette-cut diamonds to rub shoulders with the stars. High-tech ceramic, a precious material that was as innovative as it was surprising for Place Vendôme, but one which quickly became emblematic of a new relationship to luxury. The J12 has become a permanent instrument of time which

WATCHMAKER EXPERTISE
La Chaux-de-Fonds in Switzerland, located at an altitude of 1,000 meters above sea level has 37,000 inhabitants. It has the highest concentration of fine watchmakers and related activities worldwide. It was quite natural that the watchmaking facility of CHANEL was set up at La Chaux-de-Fonds, ideally situated among fir trees, mountain pastures and in close proximity to the neighboring watch manufacturers and workshops, which serve the world’s most prestigious watchmaking brands. From conception to the final assembly process, CHANEL teams conceive, design, shape, mold, polish, assemble and fit all watch parts, including some components of the mechanical movements housed in the famous J12 watchcases in high-tech ceramic.
The MasTery of CeraMiC The production of high-tech ceramic requires a demanding level of know-how which unites earth, air, water and fire. Earth for the natural materials combined to form the “powder” of which an exclusive mix is used to produce high-tech ceramic. Water is used for binding, forming and filtering these natural components. Air is used for drying and giving them form and structure. Fire is used for amalgamating them, bringing the material its immutable resistance and beauty, which has built the reputation of the J12 collection’s watchcases and bracelets today. This chain of events would not be complete without the metal necessary for sculpting, piercing, grinding and beautifying the high-tech ceramic, nor without the secrets behind its polishing process. These production processes – held in confidence to protect the exclusivity of CHANEL watches – are unique in Switzerland and most probably in the world.

HAUTE HoRLogERIE At La Chaux-de-Fonds, CHANEL manufactures almost all the parts necessary for its J12 collections. Parts are assembled one by one to create such an exceptional J12 watchcase that it receives the highest honor: a Haute Horlogerie calibre signed by Audemars Piguet or Renaud et Papi (APRP SA). Created in a neighboring valley, these movements have been fine-tuned specially for CHANEL, which developed and created the watch exterior in either high-tech ceramic or precious metals. CHANEL adapts technology to its rigorous aesthetic demands and pushes back the boundaries of Haute Horlogerie. This approach has led to the development of remarkable innovations, such as the first high-tech ceramic bottom-plate or the first retractable vertical crown, operated by a simple pressure.

high Jewelry Next, the watchcases are set and the dials paved with gemstones. Every possible surface of the watch is adorned with diamonds until the entire timepiece shimmers with light. It is here that CHANEL treats the high-tech ceramic, a precious material in its own right, with the same attention it bestows on precious gemstones. Cut and facetted in the same manner as priceless diamonds, the tiny lingots of high-tech ceramic come alive in the setting workshop in La Chaux-de-Fonds, to take on a new sparkle, one that is distinguished and mysterious. Great artistry is achieved through traditional know-how; however the heritage always remains at Place Vend么me, where CHANEL has established its new watchmaking and high jewelry activity.

PREMIèRE Getting straight to the essential is one of the keys to the “code” of CHANEL. It is not surprising that the first watch launched by CHANEL in 1987 was baptized the “Première”: it was both logical and fundamental to a new tradition. The shape of the Première reflects both a heritage and a message. Heritage, as a reminder of the very characteristic geometry of Place Vendôme – a rectangle with cut-off corners – where its bronze column sits on the Parisian paving, indicating the passage of time like the hand of a sundial. Equally, a resemblance can be found between the octagonal shape of the Première watchcase and the shape of the bottle stopper Gabrielle Chanel had chosen for her N° 5 perfume. Message, in order that this heritage can flourish in the watchmaking world with a timelessly precious watch capable of bridging the gap between traditional women’s timepieces and the new generation of contemporary watch designs. The lines of the Première have withstood the test of time without losing any of their immediate seduction, whether it be in gold, steel, diamonds, high-tech ceramic, pearls or interwoven leather. A watchmaking delight that no woman can resist.

J 12 Six letters in CHANEL. A number for its perfume. One letter and two numbers for the icon watch of the brand. Mademoiselle Chanel loved to go straight to the essential and strip her creations of any unnecessary frills. The name J12 would have certainly seduced her. It corresponds in every way to the idea that she held of a contemporary watch. A number: 12, to punctuate the history of time. One material and two colors: black high-tech ceramic and white high-tech ceramic, with gold, steel or rubber necessary to equip each model. Then a couple of handfuls of diamonds, rubies, and sapphires to add that final touch of preciousness. The same watchcase in four different sizes and thicknesses, simple or more complex movements, with some coming from the most prestigious and specialized manufacturers, and some variations in dials which play with the codes of CHANEL, without ever losing their identity: the J12 is a simple idea charged with emotion. A pronounced identity without any Baroque excess or aesthetic extravagance. The J12 is a sober piece of elegance on the wrist. It has become a manifesto of CHANEL style and one of the iconic objects of the 21st century. J12: it is inspirited by sport and a watchmaking vocation, and a strong taste for encroaching on jewelry and mechanical one-upmanship. One must not forget the role of the dream attached to all creations signed CHANEL, a particular idea of style and an audacious approach to modernity. Nothing more is necessary to go down in history.

CaMélia The great lovers of tea know that they drink an infusion of… camellias, but Mademoiselle Chanel loved camellias in bunches. She loved the plump roundness in an explosion of petals, rigorously organized around its center. A flower without perfume, of moving simplicity, seemingly obeying the subtle rules of a rigorous internal logic. So many graphic qualities that have quickly made the camellia one of the most symbolic flowers of the CHANEL tradition, since Gabrielle Chanel made it her emblem – in the same manner as the great noble Japanese families – that she pinned on her blouse. This symbol of purity, worn by La Traviata as well as the “elegants” of the Belle Epoque, never ceases reappearing in the CHANEL collections. White petals on a little black dress. Worn in a model’s hair for a fashion show, plume-like on a haute couture creation and of course, set with diamonds, precious gemstones or onyx on a gold flower-watch, one that will never wilt. A promise of purity and a guarantee of eternity, to tick away the hours that escape time.

RÉTROGRADE MYSTÉRIEUSE
J12 RÉTROGRADE MYSTÉRIEUSE
When technical prowess compliments the aesthetics CHANEL RMT-10 Calibre - R for Retrograde - M for Mysterious - T for Tourbillon After introducing the first tourbillon featuring a highly innovative high-tech ceramic bottom-plate, CHANEL confirmed its status as a pioneer of contemporary watchmaking by creating the J12 Rétrograde Mystérieuse. The Rétrograde Mystérieuse is the embodiment of innovation and includes 5 complications: 1. A tourbillon 2. A digital minutes display 3. A retrograde minutes hand 4. A 10-day power reserve 5. A retractable vertical crown This perfectly round watch with a 47 mm diameter has been designed without a side crown to ensure optimum comfort on the wrist. The work on this complication was entrusted to one of the most “state-of-the-art” watchmaking design/construction workshops: the Giulio Papi team (APRP SA). The Rétrograde Mystérieuse When the minute hand butts up against the crown built into the dial, it starts moving backwards around the dial until it is positioned on the other side of the dial: an entirely new retrogradation (return journey) design in the world of fine mechanical complications. So that the watch continues to give the time whilst the minute hands is reversing, a digital minute counter is displayed in a magnifying aperture at 6 o'clock: between minutes 11 and 19, the time is therefore read with the classic hour hand and the figures which appear in this aperture. The watch remains totally accurate, further improved by its tourbillon. The winding crown is retractable: when disconnected from its various functions (winding and setting the time), it is pushed in and remains blocked in the down position. Simple pressure brings it out of its housing, with no ill effect on the running of the watch, to restore its functions.

J12 INTENSE BLACK
The fire smoldering in the earth created diamonds from the very beginning of time. Man’s fire created ceramic, a precious material from our technological golden age. CHANEL treats this treasured stone with techniques that until now were reserved for only the most precious gems. Diamonds, colored stones and ceramic: all require the same precise working on the same workshop tables. For the first time in the world, the same respect and cutting techniques are used to craft these 724 grains of black light into baguette cuts: high-tech ceramic reflects the challenge of new luminosity. Creative tension and an aesthetic approach: the J12 is adorned with a deep, intense black that emphasizes the powerful lines of the watch. CHANEL decided to enhance this J12 with a self-winding three-hand Haute Horlogerie movement CHANEL – AP 3125 in partnership with AUDEMARS PIGUET, one of the most prestigious Swiss watchmakers. Out of the fusion of the AP3120 movement and J12 high-tech ceramic comes the 3125 movement with its balance bridge and black high-tech ceramic clad rotor, both redesigned by CHANEL. As a result, the Manufactured movement with self-winding CHANEL AP 3125 is born.
