The latest iteration of Chanels Code Coco is a gleaming, ultra-lightweight beauty made from black ceramic.
When the house of Chanel feted its 30th anniversary of watchmaking last year, it seemed fitting to mark the occasion with a timepiece that embodied its namesake founder, Gabrielle “Coco” Chanel, and her inimitable legacy. Christened Code Coco, the original was deemed “the most ‘Chanel’ watch we have ever designed” by Frédéric Grangié, Chanel’s president of watches & fine jewellery, for all its signature brand elements — from the quilted embossing to a fastening reminiscent of the 2.55 clasp.
The latter is no mere ornament: Like the handbag, the familiar Mademoiselle Lock twists open to unclasp the bracelet, in place of the conventional buckle. Left undone and laid to rest, Code Coco is an elegant spectacle, not just a watch but a piece of jewellery too.
