The CHANEL watch collection premiered in 1987 with the appropriately named PREMIÈRE watch. The watch’s unconventional design was inspired by the Place Vendome, the iconic square in the heart of Paris. This particular piece of urban design is distinguished for its clipped corners that give the square its unique octagonal shape. This architectural influence was combined with design concepts from CHANEL’s No5 perfume bottle and its cabochon stopper to complete the PREMIÈRE’s design.
