From tech-savvy triumphs to miniature works of art, we highlight the latest in the world of horology and reveal the luxury timepieces destined to become a family heirloom— whether it’s the newest iteration of Chanel’s J12 watch, Dior’s couture-like creation or Jaeger-LeCoultre’s classic silhouette reimagined.
Celebrating its twentieth anniversary, the J12 watch — known for its ceramic finish and unisex look — is now considered ahead of its time, having pushed boundaries and revolutionised the world of watchmaking in the year 2000. Today, the style still embodies that creative and rebellious spirit which is once again reflected in Chanel’s latest silhouette: the J12 Paradoxe. The new wrist wear fuses two ceramic cases of different dimensions, in contrasting black and white, to create the unique, almost unreal two-tone finish.
