An authentic style icon, the Chanel muse continues to reveal the multiple facets of its personality. Through a succession of daring variations, its androgynous silhouette continues to occupy the watchmaking stage more effectively than ever. It appears entirely clothed in black for the J12 GMT black high-tech ceramic interpretation featuring a dial with four hands indicating the hours and minutes, as well as the date and the time in a second time zone. The J12 Chromatic Baguette Diamonds offers a colourful variation in titanium ceramic – a new material unveiled in 2011 and which features the interesting property of changing shade according to the light. Set with 36 baguette-cut diamonds on the bezel, this 41 mm model will in its own inimitable way capture the light… and hearts.
