CHANEL – MONSIEUR DE CHANEL Edition Noire


CHANELMONSIEUR DE CHANEL Black 42 Edition Noire

New MONSIEUR 2019
Black is the new white for Chanel this year

It was just three years ago here at Baselworld that Chanel wowed watch lovers with its first timepiece designed especially for men. The Monsieur de Chanel was all new from the ground up. It had its own design, a new case and movement, and a new audience. Now Chanel unveils the new Monsieur Edition Noire. It boasts an all-black matte-finished ceramic case. It also features a black dial that is accented with a steel window frame for the jump hour aperture at 6 o’clock, and silvered hands for the retrograde minutes and subsidiary seconds.

Chanel Monsieur Edition Noire Like its siblings before it, the 42 mm Monsieur Edition Noire houses the Calibre 1 manual-wind movement that offers instant jump hour indication. A mechanical masterpiece highlighted by two circular skeletonized bridges, the CALIBRE 1 multiplies the references to the strong codes of the House. Matt and glossy black predominate in its black architectural movement in ADLC (Amorphous Diamond Like Carbon).

The trim emphasizes all the curves of its bottom plate and bridges. A number of custom-made parts serve as a reminder of the octagonal shape of Place Vendome. CHANEL chose the lion, its most masculine emblem and a symbol of strength and power, as the signature of the MONSIEUR watch which is found on its buckle and crown. The lion is also the seal of all the House’s in-house Haute Horlogerie movements.

The first refined function, the Instant Jumping Hour, required the full mastery of micro-shocks and the energy consumption caused by the passage of the aluminium hour disc. With two barrels mounted in series, the power reserve of the MONSIEUR de CHANEL watch is 3 days. The second watchmaking prowess, the retrograde minute with a 240°-display on the dial, combined both rigorous aesthetics and technical performance. The retrograde minute’s bidirectional corrector allows easy adjustment of the watch and illustrates one of the key elements of the CHANEL fine watchmaking vision. The movement consists of 170 components and 30 rubies.

Here, nothing is superfluous. The quest for purity is evident. The matte black dial is seen protected under a "glass box", a slightly domed sapphire crystal that subtly plays with the effects of light. On the dial, the position of both complications (the jumping hour at 6 o’clock and the 240°-retrograde minutes off-centred) along with the exclusive typography chosen for the hour, all reinforce this firm choice for differentiation. The contrast between the sobriety of the dial and the movement’s very architectural design is part of the House’s uncompromising creative process.

With the MONSIEUR watch, the vision of a beautiful masculine timepiece according to CHANEL is the expression of technical excellence, and also an expression of a unique style and allure.

In 2019, a new intense black version of the MONSIEUR watch will be unveiled with a matte black highly resistant ceramic and steel case and matte black dial. It is equipped with two barrels and offers three days of power reserve. Just 55 pieces will be made.

With two new Aquaracer models, TAG Heuer introduces an on-trend colour for men and women who desire an innovative timepiece that blends fashion with function.

La Chaux-de-Fonds, Switzerland – September 2019: Inspired by the mesmerising blue and green shades of the ocean, the Swiss watchmaker has created two green-dialled Aquaracer models that offer sporty functionality on any terrain. The stylish timepieces for men and women are distinguished by their everyday versatility and dive-ready technology.

Ideal for an individual or purchased together as couple’s watches, these modern Aquaracer models invite the wearers to live the good life – whether that’s cruising on the waves or exploring the world below the surface.

Go for green
 
The 43 mm Aquaracer has a stunning green dial that creates an eye-catching light display with its sunray effect. The design of the horizontal lines that run across the dial resembles the wooden docks where sailboats are moored.

There is a date window at 3 o’clock on the dial, and the numerals on the bezel are filled in with black lacquer, as is the triangle marker at 12 o’clock. This model’s smaller 32 mm counterpart features the same regal sunray green dial, but, instead of horizontal lines, it is decorated with elegant diamond hour markers. There is a date window at 3 o’clock on the dial and a triangle marker at 12 o’clock on the bezel for optimal readability.

Both watches are crafted from stainless steel and presented on stainless-steel bracelets. At the heart of the 43 mm model is the Calibre 5 Automatic movement, while the 32 mm model is powered by a quartz movement.

Ready to dive

These two Aquaracer timepieces are as robust as they are stylish. Prepared for experiences and sporty activities on any terrain, they are particularly well-suited for underwater exploration. They are both equipped with the six standard diving features of all models in the Aquaracer collection: water resistance to 300 metres (30 bar), a unidirectional rotating bezel, a screw-down crown, luminescent hands and markers, a double security clasp, and a sapphire crystal.

Elegant, sophisticated and bold, these new additions to TAG Heuer’s historic Aquaracer collection are a contemporary interpretation of the water-resistant timepieces the watchmaker has developed throughout its history.
