First of all, it must be said that two tools never left Gabrielle Chanel’s side: a pair of scissors and a pin-pincher. While one is worn as a slip on a ribbon like a brooch, the second is indispensable for a couturier. That’s why the Director of Design of Horlogerie de Gabrielle Chanel CHANEL, Arnaud Chastaingt is inspired by this Pique-Aiguilles design when creating these watches.

Moreover, it is the random patterns of the needles on the cushion that create bold designs. So, Arnaud Chastaingt’s creative spirit imagined five luminous tableaux that adorn the dials of the watches. In order to draw attention to the craftsmanship of the House of Chanel We discover a lace of camellias, an assortment of iconic bags, a collection of jewelry, a diamond embroidery, and a jacket currently in the process of being created.

As we go along, we discover these pieces of high-end watchmaking while also recognizing the history of the brand. CHANEL. Thus, in this new chapter, pearls, tweed, lace, quilted fabric and embroidery elegantly adorn the watch faces. Let’s not forget to mention that these masterpieces are limited to 20 copies.

To put it simply, this collection of high-end watches beautifully lights up the wrists of the elegant women.
