Every watchmaker showcasing at the recent Watches & Wonders fair in Geneva boasts a range of coveted high-end timepieces, but few can lay claim to being on the same level of luxury as Chanel, which possesses a mastery of not only the horological realm, but also in fashion and beauty. The Chanel logo has long since been synonymous with luxury itself, and in the watch space, the brand is quietly catching up.
This year’s releases saw Chanel showcase its proficiency in creating sophisticated timepieces, but with an extra element of fun. From innovative calibers to complex tourbillons, Chanel’s new watches are a nod to its rich heritage, while keeping an eye towards the future, combining traditional craftsmanship with contemporary flair.
On the men’s side of things, Chanel’s showstealer was the Monsieur Superleggera Intense Black Edition. Crafted with the discerning gentleman in mind, the watch ventures beyond the conventional boundaries of haute horlogerie.
Its essence lies in the fusion of technical mastery and the dynamic allure of racing aesthetics. At the heart of this limited-edition marvel lies Chanel’s Caliber 1. This manual-winding mechanical movement not only boasts two integrated complications—an instant jumping hour and a 240° retrograde minute—but also encapsulates the spirit of innovation the Chanel brand is known for. With only 100 pieces available worldwide, the new Monsieur Superleggera is as exclusive as it is easy on the eyes. Best get your
