Two special "10th anniversary" models are available in limited edition.

 

J12 Black


First iconic watch of the 21st century, the J12 Black watch, created in 2000, has turned high-tech ceramic into a precious material and deep black into a major new color in the watchmaking universe.

J12 Chromatic


A pillar of le Temps Chanel since its first appearance in 2011, the J12 Chromatic invents a fourth primary color thanks to the qualities of titanium ceramic and becomes a mirror-watch, reflecting changing times that only CHANEL knows how to capture.
