Chanel Mademoiselle - 1998

“Go get all my pearls” (Gabrielle Chanel)

Description

The Chanel Mademoiselle, like many of the House's watches, is a real jewel on the wrist. The bracelet is delicately decorated with pearls, surrounding an elegant yellow gold case. A welcome revisit to the traditional pearl bracelet on chains, secured by an ingenious yellow gold clasp. With a quartz movement, this watch is very practical. It comes with its papers from 1998 and its Chanel pouch.

How to wear it?

This Chanel Mademoiselle, with its pearls, embodies Parisian elegance. This is undoubtedly a dress watch, perfect for an evening out. A fair balance between watch and jewelry. Why choose one or the other when you can have both?

It also perfectly matches the style of Gabrielle Chanel who wore pearls in all circumstances, day and night, on a sweater, a black dress, tweed, etc. A play of tastes and contrasts. Pearls are the accessory that sets the tone for the outfit. A marriage between comfort and sophistication; simplicity and extravagance.

Why did Françoise choose it?

You may have already seen the iconic Mademoiselle model but we rarely come across it on its pearl bracelet and gold case. A watch that remains refined and whose design is minimalist. This is why we chose it: it offers additional luxury by magnifying this flagship model of the House of Chanel.

History

A watch that follows the Chanel Première launched by the House of Chanel in 1987, the first watch imagined and created exclusively for women by Gabrielle Chanel.

Pearls are one of Gabrielle Chanel's favorite emblems: since the Second World War, the designer has worn her pearls in all circumstances, notably her famous necklaces that we see in her portraits. It is therefore not surprising to find a watch collection bearing the name "Mademoiselle", in homage to Coco, some models of which are decorated with rows of pearls.
