Chanel has created a limited edition Haute Horlogerie collection, "Red Edition," themed around red, one of the Maison's five signature colors (white, black, red, beige, and gold). The collection features three limited edition watches: the J12 X-RAY Red Edition, the Boyfriend Skeleton Red Edition, and the Boyfriend Skeleton X-Ray Red Edition. Orders will begin on January 12th.
Gabrielle Chanel once said, "When you're sad, put on lipstick and face the challenge." She favored the color red for its strength, enhancing confidence and presence while adding an accent to her outfit. Whether it's enhancing the structured silhouette of an iconic jacket or lining the legendary 2.55 bag to embody its flawless beauty, red is an essential color for the Maison. In 2022, red will be the signature color of three timepieces in a special Chanel watch collection.
"I have given three Haute Horlogerie pieces the color red. I love the boldness of the movement's architecture, accentuated by the red, the sensuality created by the marriage of beige gold and rubies, and the sheen of the red strap on the wrist. There is nothing weak about red; instead, there is a resolute elegance!"
J12 X-RAY Red Edition
The vibrant rubies on the bezel and indices, symbols of life and passion, contrast with the clarity of the J12's sleek case and skeleton dial, emphasizing the timepiece's refined character. The in-house Calibre 3.1 movement inside is crafted from sapphire crystal, even for the plate, minute wheel bridge, and gear bridge. The sapphire crystal bridges are beautifully integrated into the transparent dial, allowing you to see the gears floating on the dial like lace embroidery.
Case diameter 38mm, sapphire crystal case, 18K white gold bezel and crown, 46 baguette-cut rubies on the bezel and 12 baguette-cut rubies in the indexes, one brilliant-cut diamond on the crown, sapphire crystal bracelet, 18K white gold buckle set with 34 baguette-cut rubies, Caliber 3.1 (in-house manual-wound mechanical skeleton movement), water resistance to 30m, 55-hour power reserve, limited to 12 pieces worldwide. Price: 87,230,000 yen (tax included). Orders open from January 12th.
BOYFRIEND Skeleton Red Edition, BOYFRIEND Skeleton X-Ray Red Edition
In 2018, the Boyfriend Skeleton was equipped with Calibre 3., Chanel's third in-house movement and first skeleton movement. Calibre 3., which took three years to develop, features vertically connected circular components arranged as if floating within the octagonal case, exuding perfect elegance and masculine charm from every angle.
In 2022, the Boyfriend Skeleton Red Edition and Boyfriend Skeleton X-Ray Red Edition will be released, featuring this unique calibre in the Maison's signature color, red. The calfskin strap, embossed with an alligator-like effect, recalls the lining of the 2.55 handbag. Meanwhile, the movement, accentuated by its red color in combination with the matte beige gold, resembles a captivating lipstick. The architectural beauty of the Calibre 3., with skin visible through the graphic lace embroidery on the bridges and gears, embodies the masculine allure that is the code of the "Boyfriend" watch. The striking contrast of red gives these timepieces unique character and dignity, resulting in two innovative and elegant timepieces that seamlessly move between the feminine and masculine worlds.
