Chanel is quickly developing their portfolio of watches and their dazzling new Première Camélia Skeleton Watch marks another feather in the maison’s cap. This is the first watch for ladies from Chanel to feature an in-house movement and the movement is being called Calibre 2. The first in-house movement from Chanel (Calibre 1) debuted in their Monsieur de Chanel watch last year.

Chanel’s Première is not a new watch at all; this model was originally launched 30 years ago. The new version features the same octagonal shape that’s inspired by the brand’s own No. 5 perfume bottle. The watch is available in a version with 104 brilliant-cut diamonds and 4 baguette-cut diamonds and another with 42 baguette-cut diamonds and 52 brilliant-cut diamonds. Chanel’s simple and classic aesthetic is maintained by the black satin strap and the white gold double folding buckle set with 30 brilliant-cut diamonds.

Chanel’s skeletonized Calibre 2 is a work of art in itself. The movement has been designed in a way that its bridges form the house’s emblem, the Camelia flower. After the idea was conceptualized, it was the technical team’s responsibility to bring the vision to life, which they have certainly done. The movement is manually wound with a 48 hour power reserve. Chanel has gone one step further with the baguette diamond set watch by setting the movement with diamonds too. The brilliant cut diamond case version has no diamonds on the movement, but a bit of dazzle on the watch hands instead. The baguette version will also be available with a full pave bracelet.

According to Hodinkee, prices start at €130,000 (approx. $138,000) for the brilliant-set model while the baguette-set model is to be priced at €190,000 (approx. $200,000) on a satin strap and €260,000 (approximately $276,000) with the full pavé bracelet.

By now, we've all obsessed over every single look, every beautiful detail from Chanel's ritzy Metiers d'Art 2017 collection (and if you haven't yet, here's where you can see the entire 78-look line-up). It marked Cara Delevingne's return from modeling retirement (she opened
and closed the show), fashion darling Lily-Rose Depp's runway debut, and Pharrell's first-ever Chanel fashion show cameo (who also wore a headpiece that launched a debate at the InStyle HQ).
We thought we had seen it all—until we got a glimpse at behind-the-scenes images from the fittings, from the lookbook shoot, and from the show day of. And it's every bit as good as the official run-of-show. There are never-before-seen snaps capturing Pharrell marveling at his double-C pendant, Karl Lagerfeld directing and photographing the press kit, Sofia Richie test-driving her look during the fitting, and models taking cutesy selfies backstage. And then there are images that are just impossibly stunning.
Scroll through to see 11 of the prettiest pictures from the Chanel Metiers d'Art collection that we bet you haven't seen yet.

If I've learned anything today, it's that there are a wealth of reality TV stars that I am not at all familiar with, despite my best efforts. If I've learned a second thing, it's that they mainly prefer Céline and Chanel bags. Meanwhile, Rihanna has returned to her precious Dior Diorevers, Birkin aficionados continue to carry Birkins 24/7, and everyone else on God's (or the deity of your choice's) green earth continues to carry a Givenchy bag. As they should.
Andi Dorfman
Céline Luggage Tote
Bachelorette Andi Dorfman was recently spotted out and about in NYC with a sleek black leather Céline Luggage Tote. I suspect she's out promoting her new memoir,
It's Not Okay: Turning Heartbreak into Happily Never After. This may sound like a book title I just made up to be snarky, but I swear it's real.
Demi Lovato
Hermès Birkin
Here's Demi Lovato, heading into Nine Zero One Salon with a big black Birkin. Her edition of The Many Bags of Demi Lovato is in dire need of a follow-up post, as her taste in handbags has changed considerably in three years' time.

Elsa Hosk
Chanel Bandana Flap Bag
Elsa Hosk recently stepped out in NYC in the most form-fitting pair of overalls known to man (#overallgoals). She's carrying a new Chanel Bandana Flap Bag, which oddly enough looks like it's constructed out of actual bandanas.

Evelyn Lozada
Chanel Classic Flap Bag
Here's
Basketball Wives star Evelyn Lozada arriving at
Good Day New York with aChanel Classic Flap to promote the second season of her spin-off series
Livin' Lozada. If you've seen it, please let me know if it's better or worse than
Vanderpump Rules.

Jaimie Alexander
Givenchy Antigona
Paps snapped Jaimie Alexander (star of NBC's
Blindspot) carrying a black pebbled leather Givenchy Antigona at LAX, which looks great with her casual airport ensemble. I could write an entire coffee table book about celebrity airport style.

Rihanna
Dior Diorever Tote
Rihanna recently enjoyed a night out in NYC with a new crinkled metallic leather version of the Dior Diorever Tote. Her sheer green lace dress is Gucci and her lace-up boots are (surprise) also Gucci. Is Dior jealous yet? They should be.

Sofia Vergara
Hermès Birkin
Here's Sofia Vergara, leaving lunch at Il Pastaio in LA with a pricey little black Hermès Birkin with palladium hardware. I'm trying to think of the equivalent number of A-list eatery lunches you'd have to skip to pay for this bag, but it occurs to me that I have no idea what A-listers spend on lunch.

Tia Mowry
Givenchy Lucrezia Bag
Finally, here's Tia Mowry, shopping in Beverly Hills with a sleek black leather Givenchy Lucrezia. Do you suddenly feel gravely concerned by the serious lack of sexy maxi dresses in your closet? I do. I truly do.

In a surprise, the French fashion house just announced their first ever watch for men, appropriately called "The Monsieur".
In another surprise, the watch is a pretty impressive piece of machinery — this is no fashion watch made by another company with Chanel's name slapped on.
The new model was revealed at Baselworld, the world's largest watch industry fair held in Basel, Switzerland, in March.
It's the first Chanel watch to be entirely Swiss-made. It will be crafted at the company's factory in La Chaux-de-Fonds, Switzerland. The watch also houses the company's first in-house movement —made and developed entirely by Chanel — called the Calibre 1.
The watch contains an atypical design, with two main complications: a jumping hour and a retrograde minute. The jumping hour is the box below the dials that displays the hour as a numeral, which many might mistake as the date. It changes suddenly when the hour changes.
Chanel told The New York Times it chose this complication to mimic the importance of other numbers in the company's history, like the famous No. 5 perfume.
The retrograde minute refers to the half circle near the top of the watch, which ticks to the right as the minutes pass by. When the hour changes, the hand sweeps to the left again to restart the 60-minute cycle.

These unique complications took five years for Chanel to develop, enlisting help from eight different watchmakers and the expertise of Swiss watchmaking powerhouse Romain Gauthier, which Chanel privately acquired a stake, according to the Times.
The run will be limited to 150 white gold units retailing for $36,000 and 150 beige gold units retailing for $34,500. They'll both be available in June.

In the past years, Chanel has conquered the hearts of many women who loves high fashion. From handbags, accessories and even shoes. They transformed the idea of backpacks, which were considered as dull and inconvenient. Backpacks are not hot ladies. And what the luggage and trolleys? Have you spotted the Spring Summer 2016 Collection? It’s seems like Chanel is determined to conquer that market too.
With all the innovation and successes so far, perhaps it’s now the right time to punch some Chanel into the hearts of men. The French fashion house has introduced the first watch for men, it’s called ‘The Monsieur’.
And while Chanel is not yet very famous in the field of watches, they did introduce many variations in the past years. For example, the Mademoiselle Prive Watch was undeniable gorgeous, but was retailing for around $95000 USD.
The Monsieur Watch by Chanel is not only stunning but surprisingly it’s also an impressive machinery. More over, it’s the first Chanel watch to be entirely Swiss made, to be exact, the factory is located at La Chaux-de-Fonds in Switzerland.
About the features, the watch includes an atypical design with a jumping hour and a retrograde minute. The jumping hour is the squared box below the dails, which can be mistaken as date. The retrograde minute is the half circle close to the top of the watch.
There will only be limited of this watch available – 150 pieces in white gold and pricing at $36000 USD, and 150 beige gold and priced at $345000 USD. For those that are interested, they will be available in June.

This is an unexpected but
very impressive announcement from a truly iconic brand in the fashion world – Chanel – and they unveiled a brand new, men's dedicated wristwatch called the Monsieur. Oh, and it's damn impressive. It's a jumping hour, retrograde with three-day power reserve, a great profile and stunning view from the back. Let's get into the Monsieur de Chanel now.
The Monsieur de Chanel is the mark's first men's complication, and it's made entirely in-house.
The Monsieur de Chanel is Chanel's first dedicated men's watch and certainly first with complication, and what makes that even more important is that it was designed and built completely in-house. And what makes that even more special is that the watch looks fantastic on both the front and the back, and wears like a dream. So what is it? Obviously this is a jumping hour watch, with a pronounced hour display at 6 o'clock. The font used here was indeed designed for this watch – just as the font seen on the Slim d'Hermes was designed for that watch(sidebar: is designing a new font for every new watch now a thing? bc if so, things just got intense).
The Monsieur de Chanel on the wrist.
Directly above the hour at 6 o'clock, you have a lovely running seconds, and above that, you have a retrograde minute display. What is interesting about this retrograde compared to almost all others is that it A) jumps more than 180°, and B) can actually be set going backwards. Both of these are small things, but still show the technical approach that was taken to this watch. Now about that – the Monsieur de Chanel was designed and manufactured completely in-house. Think about that. This jumping hour was made by your wife/girlfriend/sister/SO's favorite, favorite fashion house. It took them five years, and they've gone ahead and brought in some of the best and brightest to make this happen, but it shows how committed they are to fine watchmaking. Oh, and when you turn it over? This.
Can you believe this comes from Chanel?
Look at that thing. And lest we forget, this bad boy says "Chanel" on the other side. The entirity of Caliber 1, as it's being called, is black anthracite, and the look is downright mean. We have a beautiful central, circular bridge and star-shaped balance wheel. What is interesting to note, and something I had never heard until today, is that Chanel became an investor in high-end independent watchmaker and protegé of no one short of Philippe Dufour, Mr. Romain Gauthier in 2011, and some of the wheels you see here were in fact produced by him, though to Chanel's specifications. The rear of this watch is simply stunning, and frankly looks and feels well above its weight class. Here is the official pic:
What else do you need to know about the Monsieur de Chanel? It has a three-day power reserve from one barrel. It wears wonderfully at 40 mm wide by 10 mm thick, and it will be a limited edition of 300 pieces, 150 in both white gold and beige gold, at $36,000 and $34,500 respectively. The watch should be available as of this June, and you can sign up to receive more information

The new Mini Bags in the Cruise 2017 Collection are cute, but not as cute as the Chanel Cuba Extra Mini Classic Flap Bag. Here’s what you need to know…
Are you wondering what new Extra Mini Classic Flap Bags are going to be available for this season? Well, you don’t need to guess anymore, check out the Cuba Culture inspired version.
Crafted in tri-color, the front flap is made in green while the bottom part is painted in soft-pink color. The combination is so delicious that it reminds me of my favorite ice cream mix – green tea and strawberry ice cream.
Below the front flap, you will find the signature CC logo and it is stitched on the black leather in the background. If you want a limited edition Extra Mini Classic Flap Bag not its only available for this season, then go hunt at the Chanel boutiques as soon as possible.
