- CHANEL’s watches and fine jewellery bring a particular pleasure to dressing. Gold and diamonds are worn on instinct, layered freely and enjoyed up close.

In the latest A7 editorial, Coco Crush brings the familiar quilted motif into gold, while N°5 jewellery meets the distinctive forms of Première, with its octagonal case inspired by the stopper of the N°5 perfume bottle. Watches become part of the silhouette, worn on a long chain or as a belt, while Première Sound brings music into the experience through its earphones.

Photographed inside a vintage car, the pieces have an intimacy that invites a closer look. The styling follows the same instinct, with the freedom to wear something exceptional simply because you want to, and no particular hurry to get anywhere.
