Chanel and the Monsieur Superleggera Edition watch – elegant, high-tech and distinctive – a new chapter is added to the story of CHANEL watches for men
Acclaimed by women, admired by men and worn by all, the J12 watch celebrates its sporty, masculine features in the Superleggera model. Like the Italian racing cars that revolutionized motor racing with their superlight construction, the J12 Superleggera has always proclaimed its passion for performance and its love of sports.
Athletic in its lines, elegant by nature, sophisticated in its use of high-tech aluminium, it created a look that was different and offbeat.
Perfect fusion
In 2016, meanwhile, the MONSIEUR watch inaugurated the first collection dedicated exclusively to men. Its name and its silhouette leave no room for doubt. Its perfect geometric proportions are matched by the refinement of its graphic numerical design. Crowned with the seal of the lion, emblem of CHANEL Fine Watchmaking, the MONSIEUR watch is powered by the Calibre 1, the first movement designed, developed and assembled by the CHANEL Manufacture.
Now, the J12 Superleggera and the MONSIEUR join forces to create the Monsieur. Superleggera Edition watch, a new and contemporary interpretation of CHANEL watchmaking for men.
