Chanel Watches

Chanel entered watchmaking seriously in 1987 with the introduction of the J12, a ceramic-cased sports watch that became one of the most recognisable designs of the late twentieth century. Based in Paris, the maison operates its own movement manufacture through Chanel Manufacture in La Chaux-de-Fonds, giving it genuine horological credibility beyond its fashion heritage. Chanel produces dress watches, sport watches, and jewellery timepieces, with collections aimed primarily at women, though several lines appeal to a broader audience.
