Monsieur Chronosphère Clock

At Coco Chanel's apartment, a glittering crystal ball standing on a three lions base provided the inspiration for a unique high-end clock.

Mademoiselle’s apartment, at 31 Rue Cambon in Paris, provides an endless source of inspiration. Unique pieces and an atmosphere that is frozen in time sparkle the creativity, giving life to exceptional pieces.

Black essence and crystal-clear purity.

 

Black like a mystery to be discovered, Monsieur Chronosphère Clock, with its sharp looks unveils its inner mechanical soul to the admired observer.

Black that is lightened by the purity of its glass sphere, which winks the eye to Mademoiselle’s cherished crystal ball – one of her most favoured objects.

Through this glass ball, the exceptional movement with manual winding is revealed. The contrast between the exquisitely finished black frame and the transparent glass brings lightness and different expressions of volume.

A modern interpretation of Chanel’s heritage.

 

Monsieur Chronosphère Clock is not only a contemporary take on Coco Chanel’s preferred crystal ball. It also presents another ever-present symbol in Chanel’s creation: the lion.

The clock is in fact supported by four elegant lions, in bronze, graphically designed and represented in their classic dominating pose, with a paw resting on a sphere.

Their black matte finish adds majesty to their attitude.

Monsieur Chronosphère Clock: an exceptional Objet d’Art.

 

More than a table clock, Monsieur Chronosphère Clock is a work of art in its own right.

Inspired by the sphere in Coco’s apartment, a unique piece created by a jeweller, the Studio de Creation designed this clock to conserve the artistic vision for an exclusive object that expresses Chanel’s essence.

The movement of the Chronosphère Clock was entirely designed by Chanel and developed by L’Epée, a leading presence in the watch and clock making arenas, and one of the most prestigious specialized manufactures dedicated to high-end clocks.
