Can a Chanel ceramic watch be worn together with a gold bracelet?
Could you tell me about the brand of this watch? Please explain.
In everyone's concept, Chanel is women's exclusive domain; would it feel somewhat out of place for a man to wear Chanel? Someone once said that a woman must own a piece of Chanel fashion, accessory or jewellery in her lifetime, because Chanel represents the ultimate in female style. From Coco Chanel to Jacques Helleu to Karl Lagerfeld; from no.5 to Coco to Cristalle; from the 2.55 quilted handbag to the double C logo and the black and white palette, Chanel has left many beautiful traces over more than a century. Chanel leads women's trends; it is a symbol of women's liberation and a totem of female charm. Even by 1987, when Chanel finally mass-produced its first watch, the Premiere, its design inspiration also came from the no.5 bottle cap, featuring a black and white combination and the shape of Place Vendôme in Paris, tailored for a woman's slender wrist. Meanwhile, the first K-gold link Premiere watch was originally designed by Coco Chanel at the invitation of Hollywood for the legendary actress Greta Garbo.
In 2000, the appearance of j12, designed by artistic director Jacques Helleu, broke the image that Chanel watches were exclusively for women. j12 takes a unisex route, serving as a sports watch for both men and women, and representing the best combination of classic design style and the most advanced ceramic technology.
In 2005, the "J12" watch collection launched its first high-tech precision ceramic tourbillon watch, thus stepping into the field of haute horlogerie and high-complication watchmaking. This year, Chanel has introduced a new fine jewellery watch with a bezel set with 46 baguette-cut diamonds, with a total diamond weight reaching 4.5 carats, representing the pinnacle of complicated watchmaking. This tourbillon jewellery watch features a case and bracelet in white high-tech precision ceramic and 18K white gold, powered by the manual-winding movement "Chanel 05-T.1" with a power reserve of 100 hours, perfectly combining watchmaking tradition and high technology, with a worldwide limit of 12 pieces.
In 2008, Chanel and Audemars Piguet joined forces for the first time, launching the J12 latest high-end timepiece—the J12 Calibre 3125. This watch marked the first time an Audemars Piguet Haute Horlogerie top-tier movement was adopted. Audemars Piguet boasts a long-standing watchmaking craftsmanship, focusing on details and complementing masterclass watchmaking technology with elegant, flowing lines; utilising an Audemars Piguet movement allows the Chanel watch to be even more consummate. Meanwhile, the Chanel brand enjoys an unshakeable position in the fashion field, and this collaboration can also elevate Audemars Piguet's profile among female consumer groups, making it a win-win partnership.
Hello do you have an automatic winding movement, with a black ceramic rubber strap? I haven't seen this white J12 model.
