Description

7 times stronger than steel, CHANEL ceramic weathers all storms. Yet its greatest strength lies in its softness: polished with diamond powder, it feels as smooth as silk against skin. An exceptional material that embodies all the expertise and cutting-edge technology of the CHANEL Watch Manufacture.

Making the invisible visible. Guided by this vision, the Caliber 12.1 self-winding Manufacture movement was designed in 2019. Crafted with meticulous attention to detail, it features diamond-polished bevels and an openwork oscillating weight in tungsten: a dense, heavy material ideally suited to winding the barrel spring and guaranteeing a 70-hour power reserve, far superior to traditional standards. Movement delivered smoothly, to ensure exceptional functionality and accuracy. Visible through a sapphire crystal caseback, the oscillating weight forms a perfect circle: the watchmaking hallmark of the House.
