Chanel Eternal Instant

Chanel Eternal Instant by Nicholas Foulkes delves into the remarkable evolution of Chanel's J12 watch, which revolutionised the standards of watches for women by blending technical sophistication with the allure of modern design. The J12 has become a classic watchmaking icon of the twenty-first century.

Since its inception just over twenty years ago, the J12 has drawn inspiration from Chanel's ambition to challenge conventions by merging a daring artistic approach with impeccable technical finesse. The J12 transformed ceramic into a precious material, rewriting two centuries of watchmaking history with its innovative brilliance.

Nicholas Foulkes, a noted watch connoisseur, provides a text that explores the extraordinary conception, execution, and history of the Chanel J12. Enhanced by a strikingly original selection of fine photographs, this volume celebrates twenty years of the most beautiful and technically refined watches ever worn on the wrist.
