Chanel J12

Ready for a ladies’ watch with some serious design bona fides? Check this out:

The J12 collection from Parisian luxury house Chanel was launched in 1999 by the brand’s chief designer, Jacques Hélleu. Named after the J-class 12-meter racing yacht, the J-12 was crafted as an elegant sports watch made of ceramic. (Back in the late 1990s, a ceramic case was fairly novel, giving the collection a sense of novelty.) Since that time, Chanel has acquired a stake in Kenissi, the movement manufacturer founded by Tudor and used by several brands including Breitling, lending it even more credibility in the watchmaking space. 

This particular J12 from the 2020s is about as beautiful and elegant as a ladies’ sports watch could possibly be. Housed in a 35mm white ceramic case with a sapphire crystal, a stainless steel and white ceramic cabochon crown, and a diamond-encrusted bezel, it features a white ceramic dial with applied Arabic and diamond indices, a matching ‘baton’ handset, an outer minute track, and an inner ‘railroad’ minute track. 

Powered by a quartz movement, it comes paired to a white ceramic multi-link bracelet with a magnetic deployant clasp.

With classic proportions and sporty features, this surprisingly versatile piece has summery vibes and chic looks that we can’t recommend it enough.
