It’s ticking all of our boxes

Founded in 1909 by the elegant Gabrielle “Coco” Chanel, the French Maison is famed for its classic and sophisticated luxury leather goods as well as its bouclé jackets. By 1920, Chanel had become the ‘it’ label it is today adding a variety of pieces from watches to accessories and shoes onto their roster.

Recently, Chanel announced that actress and house ambassador, Lily-Rose Depp is the new muse for the Première Édition Originale watch. Petite and demure, the watch is a quintessential women’s watch that can transcend seasons and can be passed down for generations. “Beautiful, delicate, chic, classic. I think that it’s a watch that only Cnale could make,” said Lily-Rose Depp.

Here’s everything you need to know about the Chanel Première Édition Originale watch:

Crafted with sophisticated lines and detailings, the Chanel Première Édition Originale watch is a reissue of the first Chanel watch made in 1987. Made to be worn like a piece of jewellery, the watch is inspired by the codes of the house — with lines evoking the stopper of the N°5 fragrance bottle. Besides that, the watch also features a gold chain bracelet that’s interlaced with leather, which mimics the chain of the classic Chanel handbags.

Adorned with a black-lacquer dial with golden hands and no numerals, the watch is a stunning piece that exudes the spirit of freedom and audacity that’s unique to Chanel. The crown is also beautifully set with an onyx cabochon, reflecting the signature gold and black colours — turning it into a statement piece that will turn heads wherever you go. Plus, it’s also a classic and charming watch that can elevate any outfit with its gold and black allure.
