The Watch Blog

When it comes to fine watches, it doesn’t get any finer than Chanel. Like the brand’s clothing, handbags, and other products, Chanel timepieces exemplify a certain cool aesthetic — sleek, refined, minimalist.

All of these qualities are present in Chanel’s J12 watches, available in masculine chronographs, feminine quartz models, and gender-neutral automatics. Designed in various manifestations of pristine white and impenetrable black, these timepieces are also marked by their distinct circular cases, a friendly nod to Swiss design.

And of course, since we’re talking Chanel, even the high-end, diamond encrusted models manage to look tasteful and restrained. These luxury timepieces feature twin rings of either classic white or exotic black diamonds set into the bezel.

For a more dynamic twist on classic Chanel style, we recommend the  Superleggera Ceramic Chornograph for men, featuring a uniquely shaded black ceramic case coated in tungsten-carbide. The bracelet is based in this same black, though lightened with an elegant stripe of aluminum ceramic. Finally, a silver dial and silver subdials complete the look as a middle-ground between Chanel’s typical black and white polarities.
