  By Ariel Adams

  

  What was it that Chanel did to make me want a watch made by a women’s clothes company? It is a good question because if you would have told me that men and women all over the world were lusting after a timepiece made by a really good cosmetics and perfume maker back before the J12 was released I would have been mighty skeptical.

  All Chanel timepieces are Swiss made, which is a benchmark of any luxury watch brand. Chanel actually commissioned experienced Swiss watchmakers to create its exclusive Chanel O5-T.1 complication movement, and as such managed to back up its iconic designs with the precision and craftsmanship that they deserve.

• The Charm Of Chanel

  By Disneyrollergirl

  

  From early beginnings in 1909 as a high society hatter, to her peak as one of the world’s best known couturiers, Coco Chanel inspired women all over with her innovative take on casual elegance. Championing a utilitarian approach to high fashion, Chanel propelled masculine fabrics like tweed, linen and low-cost jersey to a luxury status that marked her out as a pioneer of modern, comfort-conscious style that endures to this day.

More than a century's heritage of classic French elegance is poured into this fine collection of luxury watches from Chanel. Exquisitely simple precision blends with sophisticated avante-garde design for superb quality timepieces that endure passing trends.

Chanel have worked closely with Swiss watch making masters to absorb horological excellence into their designs for watches that are as satisfyingly dependable as they are delectably luxurious. Indulge yourself in a Chanel watch for a truly special adornment to any outfit.

The arrival of Karl Lagerfeld as chief designer in 1983 ensured that the brand continued to drive innovation whilst staying true to its classic couture roots. In 2000 they launched their first unisex watch collection – the J12 – testifying to this recognition of modern values  and continuing to deliver stunning timepieces of sheer quality for you to experience today.

It is this ability to move with the times whilst retaining their haute couture heritage that has continued to attract celebrity ambassadors from Marilyn Monroe in the 1950s to Holllywood stars Keira Knightley and Nicole Kidman today.
