The Chanel J12 timepiece was first introduced 2 decades ago, in 2000. From the moment of its launch, the J12 pushed boundaries and defied conventions in the watchmaking earth. It was starting time released in black, followed by a reincarnation in white three years later.
Until at present, the timepiece has retained its iconic ceramic facade, but in commemoration of the J12'south 20th anniversary this year, Chanel has fabricated a bold move to transcend colours – reimagining the J12 in a completely clear, transparent sapphire case that bares it all.
The J12 X-Ray, equally the new model is called, leaves nothing to the imagination. With a dial made of transparent sapphire crystal, the timepiece displays its watchmaking mastery in total celebrity. Its new move, the Calibre 3.1, is left fully exposed. The move was designed and assembled by the Chanel Manufacture in Switzerland.
An intriguing slice of art for the wrist, the timepiece'southward indicators are ready with baguette-cut diamonds, giving the illusion of 12 diamonds suspended in mid-air. The bezel is paved with baguette-cut diamonds that weigh an astonishing 5.46 carats, and for the first time in watchmaking history, the links of the J12 X-Ray's bracelet are cut from raw sapphires, exposing the metal hinges that hold them together.
While the J12 X-Ray is a express edition of just 12 pieces, accompanying its launch is some other model that is but as assuming – the J12 Paradoxe.
With the J12 Paradoxe, watch enthusiasts no longer have to choose between white or black. The J12 has been now been given a new two-tone identity, with two-thirds of the instance in white ceramic and the residuum in blackness.
This unique aesthetic is the result of a highly technical feat accomplished past cutting and fusing two ceramic cases of different dimensions together. When viewed from the front end, the scout stands in dark contrast, highlighting the perfect complementarity of the two colours.

As if a two-toned J12 isn't dramatic enough, Chanel also revealed the J12 Paradoxe Diamonds, a limited edition of twenty pieces. Although rendered in J12's original blackness ceramic, a slew of baguette-cutting diamonds run downward the right side of the timepiece.
The example is set with 40 baguette-cut diamonds, with the bezel set with another 26 diamonds.
