Chanel J12 XS

Marina Milojević | 09.26.16 | 06:14 PM

The house of Chanel introduces the J12 XS, an innovative extra-small timepiece with a diameter of mere 19 mm.

Chanel’s cult classic, J12, which is made using the highest quality materials, including ceramic and diamonds, now welcomes a tiny ceramic timepiece aimed at bold, courageous, emancipated ladies. The name of the watch is a word play on the initials for “extra-small” and the word “excess.” These four models will come as three non-limited versions and a series of 150 cuff watches that will only be available from Chanel stores. The whole collection includes twelve different iterations.

As announced by the famous luxury brand, the original diameter of Chanel J12 has been halved, from 38mm to 19mm. The collection, comprising 12 unique pieces, aims to open up the creative possibilities of the J12-XS, and demonstrate everything that this notable reduction makes possible. As you can see, this edgy collection plays with contrasts by pairing extra-large accessories with extra small dial, high-tech ceramics with natural leather, and timeless diamonds. These quartz-powered watches provide functions for hours and minutes, and they are water resistant to 30 meters.

Another way to wear it is over black lambskin fingerless Causse gloves, which is a 150-piece limited edition option priced at $7,550 per pair. As Chanel explains, the black gloves edition is a charming tip of the hat to Karl Lagerfeld, the head designer and creative director of the fashion house Chanel, who is seldom spotted without his signature cutout gloves.

Chanel has just unveiled the new addition to the Première watch collection - a stunning new H3258 ladies' wristwatch crafted in yellow gold and decorated with 56 brilliant-cut diamonds.

Like the rest of the Premiere collection, the new H3258 timepiece is inspired by the shape of the Chanel N °5 perfume bottle stopper, and the geometric proportions of the Place Vendôme. This unusual octagonal case symbolizes so many things that are important to Chanel. Chanel and Place Vendôme are essentially linked for decades. For Mademoiselle Chanel, Place Vendôme was one of the main sources of inspiration. She was the one to design the cap of her first perfume so that it recalls Place Vendôme’s geometry and proportions. The Première watch c...

The first timepiece issued by Chanel was a watch named Première, in 1987. Just like the famous perfume Chanel N° 5, the Première watch adopted the shape of Place Vendôme, with its hands positioned in such a way as to evoke the Vendôme column in the center of the Place.

Place Vendôme, a square in the 1st arrondissement of Paris, and one of the oldest districts of the city, was once a home of Coco Chanel, a pioneering French fashion designer and a founder of the famous Chanel brand. Mademoiselle Chanel lived there at the Ritz Hotel in a room equipped with a rear door, which were an exit to her office, workshops and boutique, on the Rue Cambon. The Place Vendôme was also a cradle of the company's rich and successful history - it was here that Chanel launched her first collection of diamond pieces. Gabriel...
