Chanel presents a new capsule collection of watches. Chanel Electro features graphic codes borrowed from Electro culture.
In the 1990s, this music genre offered a world that was radically different and original, reflecting the night scene and the atmosphere in which it emerged. Electronic music moved beyond the confines of the music world and gave rise to an authentic aesthetic culture.
Lying at the heart of this narrative are contrasts between black, white and colour. White is illuminated by colour. Colour is intensified by the depths of black.
“I conceived this capsule collection like a performance program, inviting our classics, the J12, PREMIÈRE, CODE COCO and BOY·FRIEND, to perform side by side on this stage, drawing their inspiration from the codes of this world,” explains Arnaud Chastaingt, Director of the Watchmaking Creation Studio.
The collection consists of new additions of the iconic J12, PREMIÈRE, CODE COCO and BOY·FRIEND watches featuring bold colours and bold new accents.
