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 came many years later, to remind of the aesthetics of this important place where, at number 18, Chanel opened its Fine Jewelry boutique, back in 1997. The boutique is facing Mademoiselle Chanel’s suite on the third floor of the the Ritz Hotel.
Place Vendome, Paris
Chanel Première H3258 comes with a yellow gold chain bracelet and 16x22x6.2 mm golden case set with 56 brilliant-cut diamonds (weighing approximately 0.19 ct) and a cabochon crown. The black lacquered dial shows two discrete golden hands along with Chanel’s insignia. The watch is powered by high-precision quartz movement.

Chanel Code Coco Watches
One of the best-kept secrets of the watch industry has finally been revealed – the Chanel Code Coco, a fusion of a watch and a bracelet, inspired by the clasp of the iconic 2.55 bag.

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.

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.
