J12 TOURBILLON DIAMOND Chanel has unveiled the new J12 Diamond Tourbillon Caliber 5, a technical prowess and aesthetic achievement and an expression of Chanel’s watchmaking savoir-faire. Designed in Paris by Arnaud Chastaingt, Director of the Chanel Watchmaking Creation Studio, and developed and assembled by the Chanel Manufacture at La Chaux-de-Fonds, Switzerland, the Caliber 5 is the first Flying Tourbillon movement made in-house. Equally beautiful from both front and back, the beautifully designed, exposed mechanism with its sophisticated finish is adorned with a lion’s head, the signature of Chanel Haute

Horlogerie Manufacture movements. A true technical tour de force, a solitaire diamond is positioned in the center of the flying tourbillon cage. Precisely cut to maximize its brilliance, the diamond turns around to the rhythm of the seconds, creating a hypnotic effect. The bezel, hands and crown are also set with diamonds. Delivered in two distinct styles, the J12 Tourbillon Diamond is available in matte black ceramic and steel or in glossy black ceramic and 18-carat white gold. Each option is limited to just 55 pieces. chanel.com
