CHANEL announces that House Ambassador, Korean-American model and artist Soo Joo Park is the face of the PREMIÈRE Original Edition watch, launched in October, 2022.
“Wearing the Première watch is like wearing a little of the spirit of CHANEL and of Paris on your wrist. I love the timelessly classic and singularly iconic design that encapsulates the essence of the CHANEL spirit.” – Soo Joo Park
In 1987, CHANEL created its first watch: the PREMIÈRE, inspired by the codes of the House. A watchmaking icon that has now been re-released by the CHANEL Watch Creation Studio with the Première Original Edition Watch.
The case evokes the stopper of the N°5 fragrance bottle as well as the octagonal shape of Place Vendôme. The chain bracelet interlaced with black leather echoes the chain of classic CHANEL handbags. It combines two signature colors of the House: black and gold. Gold for Gabrielle Chanel’s love of all that sparkles, including baroque and Byzantine treasures as well as Venetian objects. And intense black, which underlines the essential.
