Chanel entered watchmaking in 1987 with the Première, an octagonal timepiece inspired by the Place Vendôme in Paris, but it was the 1999 launch of the J12 that established the house as a genuine force in horology rather than a fashion brand experimenting with accessories. The J12 introduced high-tech ceramic as a primary case material at a time when no other manufacturer was working with it at scale, and the watch was designed in Paris before being engineered and assembled at Chanel's own manufacture in La Chaux-de-Fonds, Switzerland. Current movements are produced by Kenissi, the Swiss manufacturer partly owned by Chanel, with COSC chronometer certification across the collection.
