All work and no play makes watchmaking a very serious business. Instead, we’re lusting after these whimsical and playful timepieces now.
FASHION STATEMENT
Gabrielle Chanel’s impact on fashion cannot be understated. She played a key role in liberating women from their corsets, and made trousers a wardrobe staple. It’s thus no wonder that Chanel’s horlogerie department continues to pay tribute to her outsized contributions to society more than 50 years after her death.
The Mademoiselle J12 La Pausa watch beautifully reimagines a 1930 moment at Coco Chanel’s La Pausa Villa. She is depicted wearing a striped mariniere top paired with black trousers – a look that remains stylish today. The timepiece creatively uses her arms as hour and minute hands, adding a playful touch.
AN ICON, REIMAGINED
