Keyword: the button

In 2020, the CHANEL Watchmaking Creation Studio is presenting the MADEMOISELLE PRIVÉ BOUTON collection. It is a homage to an essential component of Gabrielle Chanel’s stylistic world: the button.

Not only is the button at the very centre of the creative idea, but it is accompanied by another key element in Chanel couture – the tweed.

In this respect, this is a collection of precious cuffs which ‘button’ reveals a secret watch.

**MADEMOISELLE PRIVÉ BOUTON Ganse de diamant**
Numbered and limited edition of 5 pieces.
18K yellow gold button adorned with a half white Australian cultured pearl (15 mm).
Outer 18K yellow gold cord set with 52 brilliant-cut diamonds (~0.46 carat) and inner 18K yellow gold cord.
18K white gold dial set with 142 brilliant-cut diamonds (~0.52 carat).

The texture of the cuff is of the most precious tweed – Chanel’s signature cloth. As a consequence, every watch is a black and gold tweed cuff with golden calfskin trim and a black calfskin lining.

MADEMOISELLE PRIVÉ BOUTON: the inspiration

Taking her inspiration from the military’s and from sailor’s uniforms, Gabrielle Chanel paid particular attention to the button motifs, which presented a wide variety of ornamental designs.

Outer 18K yellow gold cord set with 52 brilliant-cut diamonds (~0.46 carat) and inner 18K yellow gold cord.

So the button became more than a fastening, preciously punctuating her suits and becoming a hallmark of the CHANEL style.

Accentuated by a golden braid, the black tweed cuff of the MADEMOISELLE PRIVÉ BOUTON watch folds over and fastens to the wrist by means of a button, which covers a small diamond-set dial.
