Chanel - History, Models and Owners' Reviews

What do you look for when you own several watches? For my part, I try to combine aesthetic pleasure and icon. This Chanel J12 ticks the boxes perfectly. Iconic, with its white ceramic case, it suddenly gave Chanel its letters of nobility as a watchmaking house. On the aesthetic side, even if its design is quite classic and can recall other productions, it is of a rare elegance. However, I could not be satisfied with the "basic" model unfortunately too connoted feminine so I opted for this "marine" variant which will certainly never obtain its ISO 6425 certification but what does it matter. The touches of blue brighten up the whole and make it more masculine. The rubber strap is very comfortable but is a little sensitive to yellowing. I love the milky side of the white of the ceramic which sublimates once you are a little tanned. An atypical summer watch for men.

It's hard for my wrist to leave this 38mm model which adapts to all occasions, casual as well as more formal! Very comfortable and robust, its ceramic composition is both sober and elegant. I had a crush on the Phantom version, more chic in my eyes with the numbers in white (and which remain completely readable). A very nice gift received from my husband for my 40th birthday which I enjoy every day ♥️.
