Chanel debuted a variety of watches at Baselworld 2016. five different new collections were launched at this grand event.
Chanel’s high jewellery studio has designed two couture-inspired watches, matching squares of diamonds in quilted-style patterns with high-end watch-making techniques.
The “Signature Diamond Secret Watch” is a graphic-style cuff in 18-karat white gold with a quilted motif finished with round diamonds plus 16 triangular diamonds cut to measure on the setting. A 5.26-karat briolette diamond takes pride of place in the centre of the watch. This lifts up with a simple press to reveal a round watch dial with hours and minutes functions.
