CHANEL

Equipped with Chanel's First In-House Movement, "Caliber 1."

"Superleggera," meaning "super light," symbolizes the ultra-lightweight body and aluminum chassis used in the highest-class racing cars of the 1950s. Like the J12 previously released, watches bearing this name hold a special significance within Chanel.
The movement is the "Caliber 1," a manufacture movement that took Chanel five years to develop, with integrated design, development, precision testing, and assembly. It combines strength and delicacy, incorporating two complications: a jumping hour and a retrograde minute display.
Red is used for characteristic functional elements of the collection, such as the small seconds index and the jumping hour pointer. The matte black ceramic case, with its stylish and calm atmosphere, adds elegance to the sporty design.
With meticulous attention to design details, from the dial's guilloché pattern to the nylon strap material, the "Monsieur de Chanel Superleggera" projects the world of supercars. It is the first timepiece in the typically chic Monsieur de Chanel collection to embrace a sporty and casual mood.
