Chanel once again pushes the boundaries of innovation.<\/p>\n
The recently unveiled Premi\u00e8re Sound Watch<\/strong><\/em><\/b>,<\/em> designed by Arnaud Chastaing<\/strong><\/b>, director of the company’s watchmaking design studio, is a perfect example.<\/p>\n Presented in the form of a sautoir necklace<\/strong><\/b>, the watch incorporates an audio cable<\/strong><\/b> with a 3.5 mm jack plug<\/strong><\/b>, enabling it to be connected to a smartphone or any other audio device, offering modern, practical functionality. It represents a perfect alliance between watchmaking, fine jewelry<\/strong><\/b> and modern technology<\/strong><\/b><\/p>\n <\/p>\n It is not only a luxury accessory<\/strong><\/b>, but also a functional tool<\/strong><\/b>, illustrating Chanel’s ability to fuse tradition and innovation, integrating high-tech elements without distorting the timeless elegance of the luxury House.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n The Premi\u00e8re Sound Watch<\/strong><\/em><\/b> takes up Chanel’s emblematic aesthetic codes<\/strong><\/b>. The 26 mm<\/strong><\/b> octagonal case<\/strong><\/b> is inspired by the No. 5<\/strong><\/b> perfume bottle stopper, while the supple strap<\/strong><\/b> evokes the chain of the Maison’s famous bags.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n The necklace<\/strong><\/b> that supports the watch is a masterpiece in itself: a black leather audio cable<\/strong><\/b> intertwined with a stainless steel collar covered<\/strong><\/b>in18-carat gold<\/strong><\/b>.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n The matching earphones<\/strong><\/b>, designed in collaboration with Master & Dynamic<\/strong><\/b>, offer superior sound quality<\/strong><\/b> and feature a remote control<\/strong><\/b> for controlling music and taking calls. The earphones can also be detached, allowing the watch to be worn as a fashion accessory without the technology.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n The watch’s dial is in black lacquer<\/strong><\/b>, surrounded by an 18-carat gold-coated steel crown<\/strong><\/b>, adorned with an onyx cabochon<\/strong><\/b>. This timepiece is equipped with a high-precision quartz movement<\/strong><\/b> and is water-resistant to 30 meters<\/strong><\/b>.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n The Premi\u00e8re Sound Watch<\/strong><\/em><\/b> stands out not only for its design, but also for its exclusivity<\/strong><\/b>.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Limited in number, this watch will first be available in an ephemeral pop-up<\/strong><\/b> at the Bon March\u00e9 Rive Gauche<\/strong><\/b> in Paris, from August 31 to October 2<\/strong><\/b>. The preview launch precedes worldwide distribution<\/strong><\/b> in selected Chanel boutiques<\/strong><\/b> from September 2<\/strong><\/b>.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n The piece will retail for around 16,400 dollars<\/strong><\/b> (14,800 euros).<\/p>\n <\/p>\n The launch of the Premi\u00e8re Sound Watch<\/strong><\/em><\/b> is supported by a digital campaign<\/strong><\/b> featuring Lily-Rose Depp<\/strong><\/b>, daughter of Vanessa Paradis and Johnny Depp. The choice of the 25-year-old<\/strong><\/b> actress-singer-model and the Maison’s ambassador since 2015<\/strong> as muse for this campaign reinforces the young, modern<\/strong><\/b> image that Chanel wishes to associate with the Premi\u00e8re Sound Watch.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Also seen on Blackpink’s Jennie Kim<\/strong><\/b>, the accessory has already captured the attention of fashion enthusiasts<\/strong><\/b> and influencers<\/strong><\/b>around the world, confirming its status as a must-have<\/strong><\/b> for the season.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n By integrating this necklace watch into its collections, the Parisian fashion house demonstrates its ability to anticipate trends<\/strong><\/b>, meet the expectations of a demanding clientele<\/strong><\/b> and seduce high jewelry<\/strong><\/b> and technology<\/strong><\/b> lovers around the world, while preserving its heritage of timeless luxury<\/strong><\/b>.<\/p>\n \n<\/p>\n <\/p>\n \n <\/p>\n<\/h2>\n
