CHANEL Première Iconic Chain Edition necklace watch with black lacquered dial, steel and black leather chain, 26.1 mm

The Première collection, watchmaking according to the House of CHANEL

Since 1987, the Première collection has embodied a singular vision of time according to the House of CHANEL. Inspired by the octagonal shape of the N°5 perfume bottle stopper and the geometric lines of Place Vendôme, it breaks free from traditional watchmaking codes to engage in a refined dialogue with the world of fine jewelry. Here, the watch does more than tell time: it becomes an object of allure, a signature, conceived as a jewel in its own right. With its pure aesthetic and iconic contrast between deep black and polished metal, the Première transcends eras without ever losing its modernity. It embodies the spirit of Gabrielle Chanel: free, audacious and timeless elegance.

An iconic necklace watch with a confident design

The Première Iconic Chain stands out with its unprecedented necklace watch format, in which the polished steel case of 26.1 mm appears to be suspended with lightness. Its deliberately pared-back black lacquered dial captures the light with depth, enhancing the graphic elegance of the piece. The emblematic chain combines steel and interlaced black leather, a direct nod to the iconic chains of the House’s handbags. This interplay of materials gives the creation a distinctly jewelry-like dimension, while maintaining a clear and intuitive reading of the time. Powered by a high-precision quartz movement, this CHANEL watch is worn freely, according to one’s mood, like a statement jewel.
