When Chanel introduced the Première watch in 1987, it was more than a debut—it was a revolution. Freed from masculine codes, the Maison’s first timepiece reimagined femininity through design: an octagonal case echoing the stopper of the legendary N°5 perfume bottle, and a chain-link bracelet interlaced with leather, borrowed from the iconic quilted bag. It was bold, sensual, and unmistakably Chanel—a watch born not of tradition, but of freedom.
Now, in 2025, the Première writes a new chapter with the Première Galon, an exquisite reworking of one of Chanel’s most emblematic couture codes: the braid. Gabrielle Chanel once used braiding to frame her tailored suits, defining silhouettes with confidence and precision. Here, that same braid finds a new rhythm—reinterpreted as a twisted, 18-carat yellow gold bangle that flows effortlessly around the wrist.
The Première Galon embraces minimalism with a whisper of audacity. Its black lacquered dial—stripped of numerals—glows with quiet intensity, drawing focus to the pure geometry of its form. For those who desire an extra glint of luxury, two diamond-set versions shimmer with restrained opulence, blurring the line between watch and jewel.
More than an accessory, the Première Galon is a study in modern femininity: fluid yet structured, timeless yet daring. Chanel transforms the simple act of wearing time into a statement of style—one that is woven, twisted, and endlessly reimagined in gold.
