“Mademoiselle Privé”. These two words used to appear on the front door to a certain studio in Paris’ rue Cambon. Behind this door lay the intimacy of an entire universe: the lion, the shooting star, the camellia. Chanel’s emblems, all present and accounted for.

Chanel never ceased to inspire CHANEL. The poetic traces of her life are anchored today in a collection of jewelry timepieces dubbed Mademoiselle Privée. Uniting the haute couture house with the craftsmanship of watchmaking, this collection is a gem, a jewel that highlights the impenetrable diamond that Coco truly was.

With the tact of the greatest artisans, engravers, and carvers, this collection has conquered the territory of self-expression and savoir-faire. The camellia takes on subtle hues when, adorned with a precious pearl marquetry, it spins by the second. Constellations and the majestic lion gleam in a diaphanous blue “Grand Feu” enamel, as per Genevan technique. This scrutiny is the height of aesthetic pleasure, encrusted with a snowfall of diamonds, scattered on the case.

Chanel will forever be a singular Mademoiselle.
