Chanel Launches New J12
It’s been two years since Chanel launched the J12 Caliber 12.1 timepiece, and now the French house is revealing a new version — the J12 Caliber 12.2 Edition 1, designed and developed exclusively by the Swiss manufacturer Kenissi.
In celebration of the launch and a first for the brand, the J12 33 mm comes equipped with a self-winding movement manufactured exclusively for Chanel — the Caliber 12.2, and much like its predecessors, the J12 Caliber 12.2 edition is made of a highly resistant ceramic available in a sleek, bold black or a radiant white, with a lacquered dial with tone-on-tone ceramic indicators and ceramic bracelet with steel triple-folding buckle.
