A Sports Watch with a Unique Sheen, Crafted from Titanium Ceramic
Robert Pattinson, who shot to stardom with the *Twilight* film series. His latest film is *Cosmopolis*, an adaptation of the novel by Don DeLillo, a representative figure of contemporary American literature, directed by the master of the uncanny, David Cronenberg. The film follows a billionaire stockbroker, played by Robert, who faces the crisis of losing a fortune one day, while simultaneously being targeted by a killer.—This suspense story was also selected for the competition section of the Cannes Film Festival, which ran until May 27th. It is scheduled for release in Japan in 2013.
The J12 CHROMATIC is worn on the wrist of the lead actor, Robert, in the film. This sports watch is made from CHANEL's proprietary material, a blend of high-tech ceramic and titanium. Polished to a mirror finish with diamond powder, it reflects light with a unique, beautiful shimmer. Its exceptional hardness also makes it resistant to scratches.
The version used in the film features a large 41mm case. Its sporty yet elegant appearance is perfectly suited to the role of a stockbroker racing against time, despite possessing immense wealth. Furthermore, the J12 CHROMATIC also appears on the film's poster, showing Robert in a car, where it makes a distinct statement.
Although the film's release in Japan is still some time away, we look forward to the story of *Cosmopolis* and, of course, the J12 CHROMATIC.
