To commemorate its tenth anniversary, Chanel launched new J12 Tourbillon Retrograde Mysterieuse Concept Watch. This watch will be out at Baselworld 2010.

For this prefect round watch with no crown, Chanel found one of the most creative teams in fine complications – the Giulio Papi team at APRP (Audemars Piguet Renaud Papi). They offer a totally new watchmaking complication where aesthetics bow to technical prowess. The Chanel Rétrograde Mystérieuse J12 features a specially developed movement which moves the crown from the side of the case to on the side of the dial to preserve the aesthetic curves of the watch.

These watches will be available as 10 limited edition pieces each in 18 carat gold and 18 carat pink gold. Laced with a tourbillon movement, the hands will run in the reverse direction between the 10 and 20 minutes each hour only to come back to its position after 10 minutes.

During this time, you can see the time in the digital display located between 5 o’clock and 6 o’clock on the watch dial. The dial itself is 47 mm in diameter made in black ceramic with an 18 carat gold bezel spotting ceramic inserts for hour-markers. The hands are Pierced skeletons in 18 carat gold. The case is made of dual-face crystal having an anti-reflective coating and a similar sapphire back case. The movement used is the CHANEL Calibre RMT-10, designed exclusively for Chanel by Renaud et Papi (APRP SA). The crown on the mother of pearl is made from circular-grained steel made in black ceramic and spots a “Clou de Paris” pattern in 18 carat gold. The strap is has 46 black ceramic l inked hindges with a CHANEL-patented three-part folding buckle in 18 carat gold. The watch has water resistance up to 30meters.
