THE PREMIÈRE ÉDITION ORIGINALE WATCH
The PREMIÈRE ÉDITION ORIGINALE, a reissue of the first CHANEL watch, is worn
like a piece of jewelry. Inspired by the codes of the House, this creation with distinctive
lines evokes the stopper of the N°5 fragrance bottle. The supple chain bracelet interlaced
with leather echoes the chain of classic CHANEL handbags.
The black-lacquer dial with golden hands and no numerals underlines the essential:
a spirit of freedom and audacity unique to CHANEL.
A creation with pure lines and refined details for a timeless style.
The emerald-cut beveled crystal rests on a black-lacquer dial with no numerals.
Golden hands turn on the perfectly smooth surface. The crown, set with an onyx cabochon,
reflects 2 signature colors of the House: black and gold.
Gold for Gabrielle Chanel’s love of all that sparkles, including baroque, Byzantine and
Venetian treasures. And intense black, which emphasizes the essential.
Made of a chain interlaced with leather, the supple bracelet encircles the wrist and
fastens with a clasp engraved with “CHANEL.”
In 1987, under the creative direction of Jacques Helleu, the House introduced its
first watch, the PREMIÈRE. An iconic design that is reissued by the CHANEL Watch Creation
Studio as the PREMIÈRE ÉDITION ORIGINALE.
