CHANEL - Monsieur. Superleggera Edition watch

With the MONSIEUR. Superleggera Edition watch – elegant, high-tech and distinctive – a new chapter is added to the story of CHANEL watches for men.

Powered by the Calibre 1, the MONSIEUR. Superleggera Edition watch, uncompromised in its looks, is inspired by the design of racing car speedometers. The Instant Jumping hour, 240º retrograde minute and centered small seconds counter provide its technical infrastructure.

It’s a MONSIEUR watch, but in an elite racing class of its own. With its matte black highly resistant ceramic 42mm-diameter case, black nickel guilloché dial and black nylon strap lined with red calfskin, the MONSIEUR. Superleggera Edition watch flexes its muscles –in complete discretion.

Full of grace, its codes evoke the great moments in motor racing and the love of fine engineering. It has been designed for men who like to stand out from the crowd.

The iconic Superleggera signature is positioned at 12 o’clock, with the typeface evoking the epicurean codes of Gran Turismo and the potent red hue suggesting passion and a desire to move forward. The color is also elegantly echoed in the 60 of the small seconds counter and the small hand of the jumping hour.

The sporty aesthetics of the dial are aligned with the graphic and high-tech design of the black Calibre 1, visible through the transparent sapphire back.

With its powerful engine, dream coachwork and unique finishings, the MONSIEUR. Superleggera Edition watch opens up new roads that lie ahead.

Supplied by the brand to the GPHG for its entry.
