Precise Techniques
Introduction
CHANEL Watch Manufacture manages the assembly of each timepiece down to the very last stage of production. Some steps are skillfully done by hand, “manu-factum,” such as putting together links or interlacing leather. The precision of these processes requires meticulous gestures that only humans can perform and that cannot be industrialized.
The final touch
Using state-of-the-art technological tools, passionate master watchmakers in the CHANEL Watch Manufacture guarantee CHANEL quality using a series of artisanal techniques to put the finishing touches on each creation.
