Chanel J-12 41mm Diamond Chronograph Automatic in Black Ceramic with a Stunning 2-Row Round Brilliant Pave Diamond Bezel and a Black Arabic Dial, Fitted on a Black Ceramic Bracelet - The pave round brilliant diamonds represent a true masterpiece of Chanel’s craftsmen. The aesthetic perfection is rounded with a beautifully polished, triple link bracelet, also made of titanium ceramic. Inside the case, there is a high-quality Swiss self-winding mechanism and even if I tried harder to detect some failings on this timepiece, it is more likely that I would fall even more deeply in love with it.

Reinventing the codes of watchmaking, the J12 asserts a unique allure and design. Innovative in both its technique and aesthetics, this ceramic watch embodies modern, casual elegance - and complements any style.

By offering a skillful blend of its classic ceramic and titanium that are together highly polished to create powerful reflections, emitting permanently changing sparkling points of light, Chanel has entered the unexplored world of amazing materials. Special polishing techniques that are exclusively applied on this material are inspired by processes using diamond powder, first developed for sapphires.
