The Chanel J12 needs no introduction. It has been the house’s most legendary ceramic watch since it was first introduced in 2000. To commemorate it’s 20^th anniversary, the iconic timepiece undergoes another iteration, and this time, as the J12 X-Ray – a rendition of the original in clear sapphire.

Appropriately named X-Ray, the new J12 is reveals 100% transparency – including its case, link-cuff bracelet and movement – allowing the watchmaking mastery to be on full view and nothing to be imagined.

The J12 X-Ray also comes with a new movement that has been designed and assembled by the Chanel Manufacture of Switzerland, the Calibre 3.1, which is also designed to be see-through. The dial is cast in sapphire and is set with baguette-cut diamond indicators perfectly balanced to give the illusion of 12 stones in suspension, with matching baguette-cut diamond pave bezel weighing over 5 carats in total, and a cabochon diamond topping the crown.

The first of its kind, the J12 X-Ray is the only watch created entirely transparent, minimalistic and bares it all. Limited to only 12 pieces, the collector’s item initiates a new era in the history of colour. The Chanel J12 X-Ray will be available for viewing at Baselworld 2020.
