Coco Chanel was inspired by a host of animal influences including the beloved lion. So, this year’s unveiling of the Seated Lion Long Necklace watch is a perfect reflection of the brand’s roots. The pendant watch features a carved 18K yellow gold lion seated proudly atop a regal base of 23 baguette-cut diamonds weighing 4.42 carats. At the underside of the pendant sits a black lacquer watch dial, so the wearer needs only lift the pendant to see the time. The lion hangs from a gold circle set with 20 baguette-cut diamonds that rests at the bottom of an 18K gold chain set with 191 brilliant-cut diamonds and hand-faceted onyx beads. In total, the watch boasts more than eight carats of diamonds. Just 10 pieces will be made.

Chanel is a brand whose name alludes to it all. Not only does it channel the capabilities of all the best technology, materials and machinery into every one of its timepieces, it is also an outlet of expression and fashion. Collections of its timepieces such as Code Coco display sophistication in their latticed design and invite owners to share in the secrecy of their complexity, as they occupy the code of Chanel's renowned Coco line.Though it is already a beloved and esteemed fashion house, Chanel always pushes its creative potential through collaboration. In partnership with the Swiss brand Kenissi, in 2022 Chanel released an all-new Caliber 5 flying tourbillion to add to its already impressive J12 collection. The Chanel J12 Diamond Tourbillon watch features a solitaire diamond atop the encasement, adding hypnotism to the horological mastery of Chanel's watchmakers. Other J12 watches such as those in the Wanted collection similarly voice the desires of their beholders.
