CAD $ 13,200.00
With sleek lines inspired by racing yachts, the J12 is the first unisex sports watch by CHANEL. Made from highly resistant yet soft ceramic, it is impervious to the passage of time. On the back of the piece, the self-winding Caliber 12.1 Manufacture movement is visible through a sapphire crystal caseback. Allure on the inside that shows on the outside.
THE CALIBER 12.1
Making the invisible visible. Guided by this vision, the Caliber 12.1 self-winding Manufacture movement was designed in 2019. Crafted with meticulous attention to detail, it features diamond-polished bevels and an openwork oscillating weight in tungsten: a dense, heavy material ideally suited to winding the barrel spring and guaranteeing a 70-hour power reserve, far superior to traditional standards. Movement delivered smoothly, to ensure exceptional functionality and accuracy. Visible through a sapphire crystal caseback, the oscillating weight forms a perfect circle: the watchmaking hallmark of the House.
THE CHANEL CERAMIC
7 times stronger than steel, CHANEL ceramic weathers all storms. Yet its greatest strength lies in its softness: polished with diamond powder, it feels as smooth as silk against skin. An exceptional material that embodies all the expertise and cutting-edge technology of the CHANEL Watch Manufacture.
SENSORY ICON
The silhouette of the J12 watch sets itself apart with its clean, graphic lines. Yet, once worn, it is its softness that stands out. The cabochon, the case, the links: every point of contact is meticulously crafted to refine the angles, making them imperceptible to the touch. This sensoriality, carefully honed over 25 years, reveals the watchmaking excellence of CHANEL with understated strength.
THE PATENTED CLASP
Invisible and imperceptible, the triple-folding buckle of the J12 watch was patented in 1987 by the CHANEL Manufacture. Conceived as a natural extension of the ceramic bracelet, it guarantees a perfectly centered fit, without pressure or discomfort, as well as a secure fastening—even underwater.
