J12 Chanel Diamond Tourbillon Calibre 5: The Channel first Fylling Tourbillon Movement

If Chanel’s fine watchmaking succeeds every year to push the boundaries to sublimate the Chanel studio technique and the Mademoiselle heritage… This year, at Watches and Wonders 2022, the Maison has shone with the creation of an unprecedented achievement!

The J12 Chanel Diamond Tourbillon Calibre 5 watch is absolutely stunning. Drawn by Arnaud Chastaingt, the Chanel watch design studio manager at Place Vendôme in Paris, the watch is in fact inhabited by the house’s first flying tourbillon movement, adorned in its center with a solitaire diamond that turns at the pace of seconds… A movement as technical as wonderful!

And this is not the first flying tourbillon movement in the Chanel watch collection, but it is the first to be entirely manufactured in the Maison.

The Chanel J12 Diamond Tourbillon Calibre 5 is an extraordinary watch that follows the heritage and the Cambon street codes. The edition is limited to 55 pieces, in reference to the totemic number of Gabrielle Chanel.

Then there is the matt ceramic that composes the watch- a matt ceramic, black, coco’s signature color, but above all… A ceramic that serves both the J12 technical achievement and the stunning aesthetic of this movement! The movement of the calibre 5 tourbillon is hypnotic, even more with the sparkling diamonds that stand out from this deep black…

Blomming around a 38 mm face, the 12 Chanel Diamond Tourbillon Calibre 5 charisma is also captured by the poetry of a Chanel video, visible here, which recounts its audacity.

” I follow the look given to time, the one that adorns women’s wrists and signs their freedom.
I follow a movement dedicated to beauty : a complication that knows to stay simple, a tourbillon playing, a mechanical lace that has nothing to hide.”

On this watch out of time, we can also guess codes dear to Chanel. Codes that, if they are revelated in those indispensable art books to grasp the influence and greatness of Chanel’s creation, are above all in fine watchmaking the lion’s head and the camellia!

Yes, the J12 Diamond Tourbillon Calibre 5 watch marks the history of fine watchmaking with a new sublime and virtuoso innovation.
