The Monsieur de Chanel Marble Edition, featuring a matte black, highly resistant ceramic case and a dial made of natural black marble, has been added to the Monsieur de Chanel collection. This year, Chanel has added three new Monsieur de Chanel models that use black, evoking masculine elegance and strength, and this is the second model following the Monsieur de Chanel Diamond Edition, which was announced in April.
The Monsieur de Chanel is equipped with the Cal. 1, an in-house movement with a jumping hour and retrograde minute display that took five years of development. This model features a case made of highly resistant ceramic, a material iconic to Chanel watchmaking, and a dial made of natural marble carefully selected by the Creation Studio. The unique expression of marble contrasts with the matte black ceramic case, which has a similar composition but uniform texture. The all-black tone of the matte black case is complemented by a rubber-touch calfskin strap, enhancing the distinctiveness of the dial. This model is limited to 55 pieces worldwide.
Monsieur de Chanel Superleggera
Manual winding (Cal. 1.). 30 jewels. 28,800 vph. Power reserve approximately 72 hours. Matte black ceramic and stainless steel (diameter 38mm). Water resistant to 30m. Price: 4,686,000 yen (tax included).
The Monsieur de Chanel Superleggera, which inherits the spirit of the popular J12 Superleggera, has been added to the lineup. This model features the Superleggera logo on the dial, a reference to the lightweight car body manufacturing method originally developed by Italian coachbuilders. The same color is used for the highly resistant matte black ceramic case, the small second index, and the jumping hour pointer, which are the key components of this model's distinctive functions. The guilloched pattern on the dial and the nylon strap also reflect the world of sports cars that served as its motif.
J12 X-RAY Electro Caliber 3.1
Chanel has unveiled the "Chanel Electro Capsule Collection," incorporating the graphic codes of electroculture. According to Chanel, electro music, which spread from the nightlife scene of the 1990s, has continued to evolve to include non-musical graphic and visual expressions, establishing itself as an independent genre known as electroculture. The 38mm case, bracelet, and dial of the "J12 X-RAY Electro Calibre 3.1" are crafted from transparent sapphire (synthetic corundum), and share the same construction as the "J12 X-RAY" released in 2020.
This timepiece features baguette-cut sapphires on the indexes and bezel, creating a gradient that follows the color wheel. The movement is a hand-wound Caliber 3.1, with gears that appear to float above the sapphire dial and plate. Only 12 pieces are available worldwide.
Manual winding (Cal. 3.1). 21 jewels. Power reserve approximately 55 hours. Sapphire x 18K White Gold (diameter 38mm). Water resistant to 30m. Limited to 12 pieces worldwide. 7425 yen (tax included).
