The Chanel J12 G10 is a watch adopt a legitimate fashion trend into a high-luxury and high-fashion.
This version comes in steel,the hardware is set with diamonds. Chanel J12 G10 watch has diamonds, which is an interesting departure from the typical “pedestrian” notion around the accessible nature of NATO-straps. Will Chanel watches have the same magic touch on NATO-style straps when it comes to being eagerly adopted by the world’s finicky population of fashionistas?
The J12 collection 33mm wide is perhaps a good size, even though most J12 watches are a bit larger. Chanel opted for a 33mm wide size is because with a NATO strap, timepieces tend to wear a bit larger. To illustrate this fact I took some pictures of a Chanel J12 G10 on a semi-willing Chanel representative. You can see how the nature of how NATO straps — with their single piece construction — forces them to extend farther than a bracelet might. So to keep the Chanel J12 G10 watch the most wearable on the highest number of female wrists, the 33mm wide size seems to work best.
For now, the “entry-level” Chanel J12 G10 watches will be those with the brilliant-cut diamonds. The metal elements on the case are steel, and given the shape of the diamonds they are less expensive than the more carat intensive baguette-cut stones. Ironically, brilliant-cut stones are smaller but do tend to be more. The versions of the Chanel J12 G10 with baguette-cut stones will be paired with 18k white gold metal elements which includes the strap hardware and bezel on the case.
