POWERFUL AS A LION

CHANEL Haute Horlogerie brings a new chapter to the Mademoiselle Privé collection with four new pieces.

Gabrielle Chanel, the founder and namesake of the CHANEL brand, was an iconic French fashion designer with a taste for luxury and creativity. To honour its founder, the Métiers d’Art collection is designed as a jewel box revealing the cherished symbols and objects she loved to surround herself with. The skills of the finest artisans make this collection an exclusive expression of expertise and savoir-faire. In 2023, CHANEL presents four new pieces in the Mademoiselle Privé collection celebrating Gabrielle Chanel’s star sign, Leo.

The Mademoiselle Privé Lion line brings a series of watches each hidden inside a button with a sculpted lion head. The Mademoiselle Privé Lion Cuff is an 18-carat yellow gold and titanium cuff with a black coating and a large lion head in yellow gold set with 252 brilliant-cut diamonds and onyx eyes, nose and ears. It hides the watch’s face which is made with a black-lacquered dial and an 18-carat yellow gold bezel set with 32 brilliant-cut diamonds. The Mademoiselle Privé Bouton Lion Cuff is a similar version, with a smaller lion head sculpted in 18-carat yellow gold with an 18-carat yellow gold dial set with 142 brilliant-cut diamonds. The Mademoiselle Privé Bouton Lion Watch has a satin-effect calfskin strap, an 18-carat yellow gold buckle and 47 brilliant-cut diamonds. To complete the collection, the Mademoiselle Privé Lion Necklace places the watch in an 18-carat yellow gold necklace set with black facetted onyx, 18-carat yellow gold spheres and 51 brilliant-cut diamonds.
