What is the Chanel "Premier" watch? Recommended for all women!

Chanel, which enjoys immense popularity among women around the world, is also gaining support for its watches alongside famous brands such as Cartier and Rolex. In this article, we will look at the appeal and history of the creation of the "Première," an essential watch in the history of Chanel watches.

The Lady of the Watch World, "Premier"

The Premiere, Chanel's first wristwatch, was launched in 1987 and is a highly popular collection alongside the J12. We will explain the features of the Premiere, known as the "grande of the watch world."

Beautiful octagonal case

One of the defining features of the Premiere is its elegant, beautiful octagonal case, a design inspired by the bottle stopper of the famous fragrance Chanel No. 5 and the Place Vendôme in Paris.

The octagonal case, inspired by a special place for the founder, also evokes a romantic sense of history.

Simple dial

The dial of the Premiere only has the "CHANEL" engraving and the hour and minute hands. All indices have been removed for a simple design.

The way time passes can also be seen as a message to women who lead busy lives: "I want you to live freely without being bound by time."

The dial, which has no numerals whatsoever, exudes the unique elegance of Chanel. It has a glamorous and elegant feel like jewelry, making it suitable for a variety of occasions.

Chanel's first wristwatch, the Premiere

The history of Chanel watches began with the first Premiere, which was released in 1987. Let's take a look at the features of that original model.

Chanel's first watch, the Premiere, featured a bracelet made of leather braided onto a gold chain and was designed as a wristwatch for women. This was an unusual design given the watchmaking standards of the 1980s, when smaller versions of men's watches were made for women, but it also embodied Chanel's tradition.

The bracelet design is reminiscent of Chanel's signature handbags, and the octagonal case is inspired by the perfume "Chanel No. 5" and the Place Vendôme in Paris, making this a watch that truly embodies the essence of Chanel.

The original Premiere, with its innovative design and elegant atmosphere, was popular in Japan at the time and was worn by many women.
