CHANEL - Fine Watchmaking movement watches, Exceptional Movements

The finest watchmaking complications to benefit allure.

CALIBER 1

"Always subtract, never add" is the CHANEL Allure philosophy that inspired the Caliber 1. It is a journey to find artistic purity backed by technical excellence – the powerhouse behind the inner beauty of the Monsieur watch. The Caliber 1 is a mechanical work of art accentuated by two round skeleton bridges deeply entwined into the black movement.

Created exclusively for men, the Monsieur watch defies the codes of Fine Watchmaking both inside and out. Fitted with the first movement to have been specially designed and produced by the CHANEL Manufacture, this timepiece reconciles technical complexity with a pure aesthetic. It will be released in 2017 with a "Grand Feu" enamel dial, a first for the model.

The Caliber 2 is the second movement designed by the creative studio located at Place Vendôme and produced exclusively by the CHANEL Swiss Manufacture. The Camélia Skeleton offers a feminine foray into the world of fine watchmaking. Entirely styled in the shape of a camellia, Mademoiselle’s favorite flower, it embodies the absolute artistic freedom of CHANEL creation.
