Chanel Mademoiselle pearls - c. 2000

“Go get all my pearls” (Gabrielle Chanel)

Description

The Chanel Mademoiselle, like many of the Maison's watches, is a real jewel on the wrist. The bracelet is delicately adorned 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.

How to wear it?

This Chanel Mademoiselle, with its pearls, embodies Parisian elegance. It is without a doubt a dress watch, perfect for your evenings. A perfect balance between watch and jewelry. Why choose one or the other when you can wear 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 you rarely see it on its pearl bracelet and yellow gold case. A watch that remains refined and whose design is minimalist. That's why we chose it: it offers additional luxury by magnifying this flagship model from Maison Chanel.

History

A watch that follows the Chanel Première launched by the Maison 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 World War II, the designer has worn her pearls in all circumstances, including her famous necklaces that can be seen in her portraits. It is therefore not surprising to find a watch collection bearing the name "Mademoiselle", in homage to Coco, some of whose models are decorated with rows of pearls.
