Chanel's J12 watch revolutionized the standards of watches for
women, combining technical sophistication with the allure of modern
design. The J12 has evolved into a classic watchmaking icon of the
twenty-first century. Since its arrival just over twenty years ago,
the J12 has drawn its inspiration from Chanel's drive to shake up
the codes by combining a daring artistic approach with superlative
technical finesse. The J12 watch transformed ceramic into a
precious material, and rewrote two hundred years of watchmaking
with the innovative brilliance of its design. A text by noted watch
connoisseur Nicholas Foulkes explores the extraordinary conception,
execution and history of the Chanel J12. Enhanced by a strikingly
original selection of fine photographs, this volume celebrates
twenty years of the most beautiful and technically refined watches
ever worn on the wrist. With 108 illustrations in colour
