Chanel Haute Joaillerie presents four new watches collections at Baselworld 2015…Les Éternelles de Chanel is the new exclusive “capsule” collection of watches, expressing Chanel’s creativity and High Jewelry mastery; a collection the Maison plans to enrich year after year. “Les Éternelles” is inspired by the most cherished symbols of the house, namely the comet, the camellia and the feather. The iconic watch Première, the first watch exclusively created by Chanel for women in 1987. The octagonal case based on the legendary silhouette of the N°5 fragrance bottle stopper, and the geometrical proportions of the Place Vendôme. Since 2012, with the Camélia Tourbillon Volante caliber, the Première has entered the world of High Complications.

And that is not all, in occasion of Baselworld 2015, Chanel also presents a new variation of the J12 model, the first watch created in 2000 that has turned high-tech ceramic into a precious material. Initially in deep black and in 2003 in  immaculate, opalescent white, the number 12 becomes a Maison’s symbolic number. In 2011, Chanel unveiled the J12 Chromatic,  creating an innovative material by adding titanium to ceramic  for a unique color and sheen. After 15 years from the first watch creation, presented in various dimensions and materials, like the daring matte surface models, Chanel continues to pay homage to this iconic watch.  

Lastly, the Mademoiselle Privé collection of exceptional jewelry watches opens the doors to the intimate world of Gabrielle Chanel, showing her precious symbols and objects. Result of the expert hands of master craftsmen – enamellers, engravers, carvers, gemstones setters – this collection adds a new chapter to Chanel creative saga, expressing an incomparable craftsmanship and the Métier d’Art’s know-how, applied in Haute Horlogerie and Haute Joaillerie.
