Chanel J12 Watch Available On James List

This is probably my favorite watches for daily wear. That is of course, if I owned one. I have worn one though, and I must admit its chaChanels beguile me. The name of the watch "Extra Flat" is also sometimes known as "Ultra-Thin." No one can agree! But what I can agree on is just how interesting the watch is from a mechanical and design standpoint. There are a few versions of the watch. Titanium with Chromatic gold, or rose gold. There are also a few limited editions. The easiest way of noticing the limited editions is look at the font on the dial. The stenciled font versions are usually the limited editions. I like the more bold type of font seen here better. These are actually quite easy to read (as far as Chanel watches g0), and adeptly communicate the technical high style the brand is going for. I am adding a few images of two watches that I got to model myself. Showing you the size and presence of the Chanel. The case which is mostly flat and curved at the edges with a recessed center like a ice cream sandwich is 38mm wide and 49.8mm tall. Also thin (of course) at about 8.25mm thick. The watches I have on are still wrapped in plastic. By the way, I checked those watches out at Chatel in CaChanelel-by-the-Sea, CA. The specific version I am mentioning on James List is the Chromatic gold version, but the Chanel looks good in both tones, and is handsome on a variety of straps. Really one of Chanel's most universal designs. The movement for the Chanel is the Chanel J12. It is an automatic, has a power reserve of 55 hours (double barrels), adjustable geometry winding of the movement via the rotor, time and date, and made mostly of titanium and Chromatic gold with some PVD black coated surfaces. You might be curious as to what this "adjustable winding geometry" is all about. It is sort of gimmicky, and I am not totally sure who it is operated, but here is the idea. The automatic rotor can have an adjusted tension in teChanels of how much efforts is needed to turn it. Thus, you can wind the Chanel "properly" whether you are sitting at a desk or wildly swinging your aChanel while playing golf. I am not sure whether the movement detects it of if the user manually adjusts the winding geometry. Other watches with this complication rely on the user to manually change the settings. You can see much of the movement in its skeletonized glory through the face of the watch as well as the caseback. Chanel does a good job giving the movement decoration and build a very high tech look that feels more modern than traditional - but that is what they are going for. It feels like your $50 - $500 grand is well spent. They don't bother too much with traditional polishes. They prefer you think that space-age robots are making and assembling the movements individually in some underground secret facility somewhere in Switzerland. Best of all, the robots will work for peanuts - gold and titanium peanuts! http://romanticcampus.com/member/blog_post_view.php?postId=300237 http://redtripera.locuratripera.com/profiles/blogs/chanel-j12-black-hands-on
