Chanel J12 White quartz 33 mm

The basics

Do we really need to introduce you to the Chanel J12? This watch was designed in 2000 by Jacques Helleu, then artistic director of Chanel. It was he who introduced the brand with the two intertwined C's into the world of watchmaking in 1987 with the "Première". And it is also he who anticipates watchmaking trends while ensuring that each new model of the brand is in line with the house's codes.

In 2000, after seven years of work, he launched the "J12", a sports watch combining design and technological innovation. As a watch collector and vintage car enthusiast, he was inspired by references ranging from the automotive world to high-tech... All of which can be found in the design of this iconic watch. When it was released, it was an immediate success. The J12 was seen on the wrists of celebrities such as Rihanna, Scarlett Johansson, Emma Watson, Katy Perry, Hugh Grant and Johnny Hallyday. Now an icon, it celebrated its 20th anniversary of success in 2020!

Let's get to know each other

This reference was launched in 2003. It was the first J12 to adopt white ceramic. With its small diameter of 33 mm, this J12 becomes the high point of a mythical series. The miniaturisation reinforces all the stylistic codes of this icon. It accentuates the graphics of the round case with its notched bezel, and the purity of its lacquered dial, freed from the minute track, intensifies the shimmer of the black high-tech ceramic reflected in its applied hour markers.

Powered by an ETA quartz calibre, it is designed to be reliable and precise in everyday life. Not too flashy, not too discreet. Functional. The very essence of the J12.
