The CHANEL BOY·FRIEND TWEED ART limited edition watch was inspired by a signature material of CHANEL couture: tweed, which is uniquely reinterpreted on the dial of this watch. A prowess realized thanks to the "Grand Feu" Champlevé enamel technique by the workshop of the renowned Swiss enameller artist, Anita Porchet (see signature A.P on bottom of the dial). Cast in varying shades of azure offset by patches of white and gold, the pattern evokes the powerful, sensuous Abstract Expressionist canvases of Joan Mitchell and Helen Frankenthaler. Framed by an 18 karat beige gold case, the dial of the watch carries the legacy of fearless women committed to beauty, innovation and excellence.

Generously donated by CHANEL, the watch is being sold to benefit the missions of Swiss Institute.
