The Monsieur. Superleggera Edition watch is the story of a rendezvous.

A rendezvous that was meant to be, between the J12 Superleggera launched in 2005 and the MONSIEUR watch presented five years ago. A rendezvous between two worlds that until now have exclusively defined the codes of CHANEL watchmaking for men.

With the Monsieur. Superleggera Edition watch &ndash; elegant, high-tech and distinctive &ndash; a new chapter is added to the story of CHANEL watches for men.

Athletic in its lines, elegant by nature, sophisticated in its use of high-tech aluminium, it created a look that was different and offbeat.

Acclaimed by women, admired by men and worn by all, the J12 watch celebrates its sporty, masculine features in the Superleggera model. Like the Italian racing cars that revolutionized motor racing with their superlight construction, the J12 Superleggera has always proclaimed its passion for performance and its love of sports.

In 2016, meanwhile, the MONSIEUR watch inaugurated the first collection dedicated exclusively to men. Its name and its silhouette leave no room for doubt. Its perfect geometric proportions are matched by the refinement of its graphic numerical design. Crowned with the seal of the lion, emblem of CHANEL Fine Watchmaking, the MONSIEUR watch is powered by the Calibre 1, the first movement designed, developed and assembled by the CHANEL Manufacture.

Powered by the Calibre 1, the Monsieur. Superleggera Edition watch, uncompromised in its looks, is inspired by the design of racing car speedometers. The Instant Jumping hour, 240o retrograde minute and centered small seconds counter provide its technical infrastructure.

It&rsquo;s a MONSIEUR watch, but in an elite racing class of its own. With its matte black highly resistant ceramic 42mm-diameter case, matte black guilloche dial with black nickel finish and black nylon strap lined with red calfskin, the Monsieur. Superleggera Edition watch flexes its muscles &ndash; in complete discretion.

Full of grace, its codes evoke the great moments in motor racing and the love of fine engineering. It has been designed for men who like to stand out from the crowd.

The iconic Superleggera signature is positioned at 12 o&rsquo;clock, with the typeface evoking the epicurean codes of Gran Turismo and the potent red hue suggesting passion and a desire to move forward. The color is also elegantly echoed in the 60 of the small seconds counter and the small hand of the jumping hour.

The sporty aesthetics of the dial are aligned with the graphic and high-tech design of the black Calibre 1, visible through the transparent sapphire back.

With its powerful engine, dream coachwork and unique finishings, the Monsieur. Superleggera Edition watch opens up new roads that lie ahead.
