HISTORY OF THE BRAND
Since 1987 CHANEL gives allure to time cultivating the art of surprise and elegance, and before all an infinite desire to create.

In 2019 at the eve of its 20th year, the J12 is equipped with a Manufacture movement Caliber 12.1.
The Temps CHANEL is also a Swiss-based watch Manufacture which expertise is serving creativity.
A CHANEL watch is never what you expect it to be. It calibrates time, twisting classic codes with audacity.
