A rich celebration of the dynamic spirit and beauty of Chanel’s modern classic J12 watch.
Chanel’s J12 watch revolutionized the standards of watches for women, combining technical sophistication with the allure of modern design. The J12 has evolved into a classic watchmaking icon of the twenty-first century.
Since its arrival twenty years ago, the J12 has drawn its inspiration from Chanel’s drive to shake up the codes by combining a daring artistic approach with superlative technical finesse. The J12 watch transformed ceramic into a precious material, and rewrote two hundred years of watchmaking with the innovative brilliance of its design.
A text by noted watch connoisseur Nicholas Foulkes explores the extraordinary conception, execution and history of the Chanel J12. Enhanced by a strikingly original selection of fine photographs, this volume celebrates twenty years of the most beautiful and technically refined watches ever worn on the wrist.

GXA –
Excellent print quality but lacks depth and context.
This photobook unfortunately fails to deliver on its promise to chronicle the evolution of the J12 over its two decade history. There is a very brief opening essay and the rest of the book is just black and white photographs with a heavy emphasis on the new Caliber 12.1 line. The book fails to include photos of Chanel’s investments into horology such as the H2129 with the Audemars Piguet movement, the J12 Moonphase, or Rétrograde Mystérieuse Tourbillon. There are photos of the Chromatic and the 365 lines, but these are woefully under-represented. It comes across more as Chanel marketing fluff rather than a curated selection of the evolution of the Chanel J12.
