Launched in the year 2000, the J12 was the first watch to use high-tech ceramic like a precious material – initially in glistening black, and three years later in immaculate white. The titanium ceramic that gives the bracelet its ever-changing shimmering effects came on the scene in 2011. In its 15 years since its birth, the J12 has become an authentic icon that Chanel has interpreted through a wealth of variations. Today, the white version that was so luminously revolutionary when first introduced is appearing with a subtly playful new face. Issued in a collector’s limited edition, the J12 Mirror lives up to its name with numerals printed beneath the sapphire crystal and reflected in the chapter ring placed below it. The display of the passing hours is thus transformed at the slightest flick of the wrist.
