J12 Diamond Tourbillon
In 2022, CHANEL presents the new J12 Diamond Tourbillon Caliber 5, a technical prowess and aesthetic achievement and an expression of CHANEL’s watchmaking savoir-faire.
Designed in Paris by Arnaud Chastaingt, Director of the CHANEL Watchmaking Creation Studio, and developed and assembled by the CHANEL Manufacture at La Chaux-de-Fonds, Switzerland, the Caliber 5 is the first Flying Tourbillon movement made in-house.
Equally beautiful from both front and back, the exposed mechanism with its sophisticated finish is adorned with a lion’s head, the signature of CHANEL Haute Horlogerie Manufacture movements.
A true technical tour de force, a solitaire diamond is positioned in the center of the flying tourbillon cage. Precisely cut to maximize its brilliance, the diamond turns around to the rhythm of the seconds, creating a hypnotic effect.
The bezel, hands and crown are set with diamonds.
The J12 Tourbillon Diamond is available in matte black ceramic and steel or in glossy black ceramic and 18-carat white gold, each limited to 55 pieces.

J12 Mademoiselle J12
In 2022, Mademoiselle Chanel and the J12 watch meet again in 3 exceptional creations, each limited to 55 pieces.
MADEMOISELLE J12 LA PAUSA
This new interpretation welcomes the silhouette of Mademoiselle dressed in a Breton top and sailor pants, inspired by a photograph taken in her garden at La Pausa, her villa on the French Riviera. For the first time, the Mademoiselle J12 is equipped with the Caliber 12.1, in an exclusive all-black version.
MADEMOISELLE J12.XS
Clinging mischievously to the watch case, Mademoiselle Chanel’s silhouette appears in the form of a figurine entwined in white gold and black lacquer, topped off with a two-tone straw hat accentuated with a brilliant-cut diamond.
J12 GABRIELLE CALIBER 3.1
The J12 Gabrielle Caliber 3.1 watch pays homage to the iconic silhouette of Gabrielle Chanel placed on the dial, dressed in black and wearing her beloved pearls. A true keeper of time, Mademoiselle Chanel strikes a pose in a painting within a precious frame composed of a white gold bezel set with baguette-cut diamonds.
DESCRIPTION
J12 Baguette Diamond Bezel
In 2022, CHANEL presents the J12 Baguette Diamond Bezel in two new versions. Each of these new creations possesses a case in white ceramic and 18K white gold, and a fixed bezel in 18K white gold set with 46 baguette-cut diamonds revealing a white-lacquered dial set with 12 baguette-cut diamonds.
One is equipped with the new Caliber 12.2 33mm and the other with the Caliber 12.1 38mm.
DESCRIPTION
J12 Baguette Diamond Star
In 2022, CHANEL presents the J12 Baguette Diamond Star 33mm, its 18K white gold case submerged in a dazzling embroidery of baguette-cut diamonds on the bezel, dial, and bracelet.
This new creation provides the ultimate setting for the Caliber 12.2, the new self-winding Manufacture movement developed exclusively for the House of CHANEL by the Kenissi Manufacture.
Limited to 12 pieces.
DESCRIPTION
J12 Black Star
In 2022, CHANEL raises ceramic to the ranks of gemstones, presenting the J12 Black Star equipped with the Caliber 12.1.
In pure, unalloyed black, the J12 Black Star is set all over with ceramic baguettes. The effect is graphic and resolutely offbeat, an unconventional style that shakes up the classic codes.
Numbered and limited to 12 pieces.
DESCRIPTION
RED EDITION COLLECTION
CHANEL presents the Haute Horlogerie Red Edition collection, in one of the Maison’s five signature colors, alongside white, black, beige, and gold.
“If you’re sad or heartbroken, make yourself up, dress up, add more lipstick and attack.” Gabrielle Chanel loved the power of red when used as an accent.
Red for boosting your confidence, for asserting yourself.
Red as a detail to highlight the structure of a jacket, as a feature to accentuate the lining of a 2.55 handbag.
In 2022, exceptionally, red becomes the signature hue of CHANEL timepieces.
“As a stylistic device, I have used it on three Haute Horlogerie creations. I like the boldness of a movement made up in red, the sensuality of the marriage of beige gold and rubies, the authority of a glossy red strap against a wrist. There is nothing faint-hearted about red! It has an uncompromising elegance.“, declares Arnaud Chastaingt, Director of the CHANEL Watchmaking Creation Studio.
J12 X-RAY RED EDITION
In 2020, to mark the twentieth anniversary of the J12, CHANEL highlighted the concept of transparency and presented the J12 X-RAY, with its case and bracelet links cut from raw crystal sapphire.
In 2022, the J12 X-RAY RED EDITION ROUGE reveals its curves and those of its movement. The J12 silhouette remains unchanged, but the accent on red, one of the Maison’s signature colors, adds a note of contrast to the look. Symbols of life and passion, the rubies accentuate the unique and sophisticated character of this timepiece.
The movement presents the appearance of a graphic fragment of lace embroidered with bridges and cogwheels, according to the rules of the art of Haute Horlogerie. The cogwheels of the Caliber 3 are still present, but thanks to the sapphire crystal the bridges have ingeniously disappeared.
DESCRIPTION
BOY.FRIEND SKELETON RED EDITION
BOY.FRIEND SKELETON X-RAY RED EDITION
In 2018, the BOY·FRIEND was equipped with a skeleton movement developed within the Manufacture CHANEL, architectural, modern and pared back, visible from both front and back, and revealed in its full finesse by the transparent play of its interlocking circles. The Caliber 3 displays a radical elegance and a flawless mastery of the codes of masculinity.
In 2022, the BOY·FRIEND SKELETON RED EDITION and the BOY·FRIEND SKELETON X-RAY RED EDITION watches emerge as new Haute Horlogerie creations imbued with authority and inimitable flair.
The BOY·FRIEND silhouette remains unchanged, but the accent on red, one of the Maison’s signature colors, adds a note of contrast to the look. The red embossed leather strap recalls the lining of the 2.55 handbag, while the red of the movement, in association with the powdered beige gold shade, suggests the ultimate touch of lipstick to draw attention to a smile.
Still endowed with the Caliber 3, the watches present the appearance of a graphic fragment of lace embroidered with bridges and cogwheels, which offers subtle glimpses of the skin beneath. The architectural aesthetic and the movement of the BOY·FRIEND highlight the watch’s close affinity with the codes of masculinity.
This powerful duality creates two new and exceptional pieces, radical and elegant, in which the dividing line between the feminine and the masculine grows ever more subtle.
DESCRIPTION
CHANEL WANTED capsule collection
In 2022, Chanel presents its new watchmaking capsule collection, CHANEL WANTED.

DESCRIPTION
J12 WANTED DE CHANEL
The bold J12 38mm watch is unveiled in glossy black ceramic. The graphic elements on the dial and bezel have completely disappeared to make way for the iconic six letters of CHANEL, asserting themselves as a graphic motif with a powerful impact. In white on black, they stretch extravagantly across the dial and overlap onto the bezel.
The bold J12 33mm watch is unveiled in white ceramic. A filigree of logos unfolds from the bezel to the dial. The design is refined, exquisite and graphic, while the composition is artfully asymmetrical.
These first two creations in the WANTED collection play on their duality, each offering a different interpretation of the CHANEL motif. White on black or tone on tone, singular or multi-layered, unmissable or discreet, the J12 is quintessentially CHANEL.
