Chanel might be one of the world’s top fashion houses, but they\u2019ve proven to be a formidable watchmaker as well. One of their most beautiful creations is the Calibre 3 which was introduced just this year, two years after they finally began producing their own in-house movements despite three decades of otherwise impressive luxury watchmaking.<\/p>\n

\"The<\/a>

“Chanel and I both believe that technology should be at the service of beauty,” Fr\u00e9d\u00e9ric Grangi\u00e9, the CEO of Chanel Watches and Jewellery explained. “Chanel’s Fine Watches, in fact, all our creations, begin as an aesthetic concept which then takes shape through a range of techniques.”<\/span><\/p>\n

But, to understand the Calibre 3, we first have to look back on 1 and 2. The Calibre 1, which was released in 2016, was haute the minute it was released. Part of the buzz was that it featured a jump hour complication and the bridges were designed by Independent watchmaker Romain Gauthier, who, actually, is part-owned by Chanel. Then the Calibre 2 came along with the Chanel Premi\u00e8re Cam\u00e9lia Skeleton, featuring a camelia-shaped movement. Once again, Gauthier stepped in to help out, creating the wheels.<\/span><\/p>\n

\"The<\/a>

“The Calibre 1, which we put in the Monsieur de Chanel, was a masculine movement; one in which you could see the components, because that\u2019s what men want,” revealed \u00a0Nicolas Beau, Chanel’s global head of watch and fine jewelry business development. \u201cHowever, by contrast we concealed the movement in a camellia for the Calibre 2, because that seemed a more feminine approach.”<\/span><\/p>\n

This brings us to the Calibre 3 that was released in 2018. Outfitted with the Boy.Friend skeleton case that puts the manual movement with a 55-hour power reserve, a wonderfully unique circular bridge design, and wheels without spokes proudly on display. And if you’re wondering how wheels without spokes are possible, it’s actually thanks to new state-of-the-art technology leveraged by the company. <\/span><\/p>\n

\"The<\/a>
The Calibre 3 movement from Chanel took quite a bit of time to create<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n


\n<\/span>
\n<\/span>What Chanel did was galvanically grow the wheels — which is essentially 3D printing but with chemicals. It allowed the fashion-house turned horlogerie to create these extremely unique, and stunning, wheels exactly to their specifications. <\/span>
\n<\/span>
\n<\/span>And to back up a little, if the Boy.Friend case looks familiar, you\u2019re indeed having deja vu. Chanel introduced the case in 2015, but back then it was surrounding a ETA 7001 manual-winding movement. Now, you look directly into the Calibre 3.<\/span><\/p>\n

\"The<\/a>

Finally, we have to take a look at the pure aesthetics of this watch. If you look closely, you\u2019ll notice that the see-through dial, surrounded by the beige gold case, doesn\u2019t feature any visible screws and is only attached to the case at the top and bottom — making the mechanism look like it\u2019s floating. Superb. Chanel also sprawls across the top near 12 o\u2019clock, the two hands matching the case in beige gold, a mysterious color Chanel is keeping tight-lipped about. The look is then tied together with a simple black strap, keeping all the attention (and rightfully so) on the case. <\/span><\/p>\n

In a large luxury market filled with innovation, it somehow feels like Chanel is competing with themselves and doing a hell of a job. The last three years they\u2019ve managed to continually impress those within the industry with not only their designs but their technical feats. Rumour has it the Calibre 4 is already underway — and we have to say, we can\u2019t wait to see how they\u2019ll top this. <\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
