Chanel has invented a new colour, the Chromatic colour, oscillating between black and white, Gabrielle Chanelﾐs two favourite colours. Fine-tuned in CHANELﾐs Swiss workshops, the Chromatic colour was born out of a true 21st Century material _ titanium ceramic, which encases a new generation J12 watch and transforms its surface into ever changing shifts in colour. CHANEL developed exclusive polishing techniques to achieve this new rich palette of reflections inspired by processes using diamond powder for polishing sapphire. With its mysterious duality of colour and non-colour, titanium ceramic reinvents the J12, adding a totally new chapter to its watchmaking story. The 38mm titanium ceramic case holds the automatic mechanical movement with date display.
