La J12 XS, sa petite sœur, qui n’est pas exposée au SIHH mais a fait une entrée remarquée aux États-Unis, à Paris et plus récemment à Genève, semble bien décidée à marcher sur les traces de son aînée. Disponible en noir ou en blanc, les couleurs phares de l’univers de Chanel, elle est plus petite et montée sur un fin bracelet en veau verni d’une extrême souplesse.

Imagined by Jacques Helleu in 2000, Chanel’s ceramic J12 has to be one of the biggest success stories of twenty-first-century watchmaking. Its smaller sibling, the J12 XS – which isn’t at SIHH but didn’t go unnoticed at launches in the US, Paris and most recently Geneva – seems determined to follow in the original’s footsteps. Proposed in Chanel’s signature black or white, this petite timepiece is mounted on an exceptionally soft patent calfskin strap, which slides into a matching matte calfskin cuff with silver piping. The pin buckle and loops are in steel. For an even bigger, bolder statement, wear it on the extra-wide patent calfskin cuff whose steel loops are set with diamonds that channels a glamorous, rock-chic spirit in keeping with the brand.
