For this year’s edition of Watches & Wonders, CHANEL had many sources of inspiration to reinterpret through its novelties while staying true to the emblems that have always set the tone to the House’s creations.

At the heart of the CHANEL INTERSTELLAR capsule collection, the worlds of science fiction, space and time travel meet, as a pixelated motif, a circuit board design, phosphorescent effects, a star charm and a 3D robot adorn new editions of the J12, PREMIERE, BOY.FRIEND and CODE COCO watches, some of which are limited editions of Haute Horlogerie pieces. Also joining the novelties are Mademoiselle Privé timepieces, through which Arnaud Chastaingt – Director of the CHANEL Watchmaking Creation Studio – reinterprets two tools that Gabrielle Chanel always kept to hand, a pair of scissors suspended from a ribbon that she wore around her neck as a sautoir and a pincushion she wore on her wrist. Through these pieces, he tells the story of Couture and Horlogerie unique to CHANEL. And in a deeper exploration of the legendary founder’s private world, the Leo – Gabrielle Chanel’s star sign – sets the tone to the Métiers d’Art collection in an exquisite expression of expertise and savoir-faire, and adorns four new pieces faithful as ever to the stylistic codes of the House.
