The French luxury house Chanel unveiled its very first men’s watch at Baselworld 2016: the Monsieur de Chanel. Designed and manufactured entirely in-house at the company’s assembly plant in La Chaux-de-Fonds, Switzerland, the timepiece represents five years of meticulous development.
The Monsieur de Chanel features a refined minimalist aesthetic with a 40mm gold case paired with the brand’s proprietary Calibre 1 movement. This inaugural men’s timepiece exemplifies Chanel’s commitment to horological excellence and timeless design. Available exclusively in limited quantities—150 beige gold pieces at €34,500 and 150 white gold pieces at €36,000—this watch stands as a collectible investment in contemporary luxury watchmaking.

The brand established a dedicated registration page on its website to keep discerning collectors informed about this highly anticipated release. The Monsieur de Chanel will be available in Chanel boutiques and online beginning June 2, 2016, marking a historic milestone for the storied fashion house’s entry into men’s fine watchmaking.
