Chanel's in-house calibers continue to win the ladies' watch prize at the Grand Prix d'Horlogerie de Genève (the industry's equivalent of the Academy Awards), and back-to-back awards is a huge achievement. And with one look, it's easy to see why it won. Staying true to its moniker, it perfectly blends masculine and feminine throughout, from the diamond-set, octagon-shaped case to the black ADLC-coated bridges, and the elegant movement has a design purity that isn't always found in women's watches. The bridges have applied mirror-polished beige gold on the edges, adding a discreet flash to the matte-black movement. The vertically aligned movement seems to float within the case, and the interlocking circles make an interesting contrast to the case shape.

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.
