COVER STORY: ALL EYES ON... CHANEL
J12 IN THE SKY WITH DIAMONDS
The J12 is considered by many to be the first iconic watch born of the new millennium, unveiled as it was in the year 2000. Its pure forms giving pride of place to the simple beauty of ceramic, its ability to reinvent itself without ever betraying its fundamental nature and its accomplished exploration of the codes of Haute Horlogerie have quickly earned it classic status.

On the Cover:
Chanel continues its collaboration with Renaud et Papi manufacture (APRP SA) to produce exceptional mechanisms, including personalised flying tourbillons. In 2015, the black ceramic J12 hosts a tourbillon-comet crowned with a star, a symbol of Chanel, inside a skeleton construction that reveals the exclusive manual-winding movement. As well as being technically complex, the J12 Skeleton Flying Tourbillon is very much a jewel, dripping with 145 brilliant-cut diamonds in a limited edition of 20. www.chanel.com
