In delivering its most masculine watch to date, Chanel pushes the boundaries of haute horlogerie
Chanel Monsieur Superleggera Intense Black Edition
Chanel’s reputation as a serious watchmaker has grown significantly since the introduction of the Première watch in 1987. This is primarily due to the success of the J12 model, which has served as a platform for showcasing the house’s high-end horological capabilities. In 2016, Chanel introduced the Monsieur de Chanel, marking the its first dedicated men’s watch and the first Chanel watch with a complication.
This year, the house pushes the boundaries of horological innovation by challenging the codes of haute horlogerie with its latest watch: Chanel Monsieur Superleggera Intense Black Edition. The watch, designed exclusively for men, combines aesthetic sophistication with technical complexity thanks to its two integrated complications. It showcases the sleek elegance of racing cars with the all-black monochrome and, at the same time, amazes with the Caliber 1, which specifically developed and created by the CHANEL Manufacture. This is, without doubt, the most masculine watch Chanel has ever produced.
