Checkmate in Chanel: The $4m chess set where the queen is a watch - Watches & Wonders 2026 #WatchesandWonders2026
By SENATUS Editor | 15 April 2026

The ultimate checkmate has arrived at Watches and Wonders. Chanel has unveiled a one of a kind 4 million dollar chess set that serves as the crown jewel of its latest collection. This masterpiece took three years to develop and features playing pieces crafted from ceramic and white gold.

The black and white queens are fashioned after Gabrielle Chanel herself and hidden beneath their bases are exquisite timepieces. The victor can even wear the diamond set queen as a pendant by attaching it to a hidden onyx and white gold chain. From lions representing kings to couture busts as bishops, every detail is a masterclass in high horology and art.
