Chanel just dropped the ultimate party accessory for introverts. The Première Sound Watch can help you give off that posh-and-unavailable vibe, and you’ll know exactly when to make a fashionable exit. Brainchild of Arnaud Chastaingt, director of the Chanel Watchmaking Creation Studio, the sautoir in 18-carat yellow gold, features a watch and detachable wired earphones.
First seen on K-pop star Jennie of Blackpink at a brand event in Seoul earlier this month, this collector’s item is inspired by the house’s Première Watch, a timepiece launched in 1987 whose octagonal case was meant to evoke the cap on the iconic Chanel N°5 perfume bottle. Fashion geeks will also notice that the new watch dial, coated in yellow gold, retains the original shape as well as other house codes—the chain-link necklace woven with leather brings to mind the straps on the iconic Flap bag, and the earphones are stamped with the signature double C logo. And because the brand does nothing by halves, the three-in-one piece is as functional as it is beautiful. The earphones emit a high-quality sound, offer passive sound insulation, and can connect to all devices, iPhone, Android or otherwise. This one will make the biggest tech geek get behind high fashion.
