During the 2025 Watches & Wonders Geneva exhibition, Chanel unveiled the J12 Bleu Diamond Tourbillon, a dazzling creation that combines a luminous blue sapphire-set bezel with a matte black ceramic case. The contrast between the gemstone’s vivid brilliance and the understated ceramic finish makes this one of the most captivating timepieces in the J12 Bleu collection.
The 38 mm case is crafted from matte blue highly resistant ceramic, paired with a black-coated stainless-steel bezel and crown. The bezel is set with 34 custom-cut baguette blue sapphires, while the crown is adorned with a brilliant-cut diamond—a subtle yet radiant accent.
The off-centered openworked dial reveals the intricate motion of the winding mechanism. The time display at 12 o’clock features a vintage-style railway minute track, while the flying tourbillon at 6 o’clock together with it forms an elegant inverted figure eight—a symbol of eternity. At the center of the tourbillon cage sits a brilliant-cut diamond, whose scintillation intensifies as the tourbillon rotates, turning the passage of time into a mesmerizing visual performance.
Inside beats the Caliber 5 hand-wound floating tourbillon movement, developed in-house over three years by the Chanel Manufacture. Measuring only 6.25 mm thick, it features a variable inertia balance wheel and a shock-absorption system, ensuring superior precision and stability. The movement provides a power reserve of approximately 42 hours.
The watch is completed with a matte blue ceramic bracelet and produced in a limited edition of 55 pieces.
