A slightly androgynous attitude ; rigorous shapes ; a set of circles\u2026 considerable elegance. The Boy.Friend Skeleton Caliber 3 is quintessential Chanel. With its third proprietary caliber, the Parisian Maison is exploring a new territory : that of \u2018shape\u2019 watches with powerful horological content. It has equipped its rectangular model \u2013 appearing here in a large size \u2013 with a pared-down skeleton caliber reprising the aesthetic that is establishing itself as a signature of the Manufacture Chanel : juxtaposed circles, black\u2026 and a consummate sense of details. The latter flair is expressed in the slim gold rim accentuating the main lines of the openworking ; in the delicate aesthetic equilibrium between the small seconds and the barrel ; as well as in the solid wheels that lend a sophisticated touch to the opacity\/transparency ratio while displaying extreme technical capabilities. Above all, this movement is tonneau-shaped, the epitome of nobility in the world of horology. It makes an extremely snug fit with the beige gold case, creating an aesthetic and technical symbiosis reflecting a pervasive concern for quality.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Chanel Boy.Friend Skeleton Caliber 3 CASE : beige gold, transparent sapphire crystal and caseback, onyx [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":11,"featured_media":29052,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":[],"categories":[80],"tags":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.gmtmag.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/29051"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.gmtmag.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.gmtmag.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.gmtmag.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/11"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.gmtmag.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=29051"}],"version-history":[{"count":3,"href":"https:\/\/www.gmtmag.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/29051\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":29056,"href":"https:\/\/www.gmtmag.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/29051\/revisions\/29056"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.gmtmag.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/29052"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.gmtmag.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=29051"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.gmtmag.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=29051"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.gmtmag.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=29051"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
