Pre-owned Chanel watches: where watchmaking meets haute couture

A Chanel watch doesn't just measure the passage of time. It captures the essence of an aesthetic revolution born on rue Cambon, where Gabrielle Chanel reinvented feminine codes at the beginning of the 20th century. Our pre-owned Chanel watches perpetuate this audacious vision, transforming every wrist into a manifesto of independence and refinement.

At Castafiore, we select these exceptional timepieces with the same exacting standards that Mademoiselle applied to her creations. Every Chanel watch in our collection embodies this unique philosophy where simplicity rhymes with sophistication, created by and for modern elegance.

Iconic collections: Première, Boy Friend and Code Coco

The Chanel Première has embodied the House's watchmaking DNA since 1987. Its octagonal case is inspired by the iconic stopper of the N°5 perfume, creating an instantly recognizable timepiece. The caliber within each Première combines Swiss precision with Parisian aesthetics. The black dial of certain models expresses the timeless elegance so dear to Mademoiselle Chanel, offering the wearer effortless sophistication.

The Boy Friend collection defies convention with its rectangular case featuring masculine proportions reimagined for the feminine wrist. This Chanel Boy Friend watch draws its inspiration from the masculine world so dear to Gabrielle Chanel, who liberated women from the sartorial constraints of her time. The Boy Friend's movement expresses this deliberate duality between strength and delicacy, while the dial is available in deep black or pearly white.

The Chanel Code Coco reinterprets Art Deco with striking modernity. Its geometric design evokes haute couture motifs. The built-in caliber guarantees exemplary reliability, while certain editions feature a matte black dial of absolute sophistication, reminiscent of the softness of black velvet so dear to the House.

High-quality materials and exceptional resistance

Ceramic is revolutionizing Chanel's approach to contemporary watchmaking. This exceptionally resistant ceramic characterizes the most innovative models. Chanel watches in black ceramic captivate with their matte elegance and unparalleled robustness, offering a timepiece that is as durable as it is elegant.

Polished steel enhances the accessible creations in the collection, democratizing the Maison's watchmaking excellence. The caliber within these steel models maintains the manufacture's high standards of precision, allowing access to the world of Chanel with distinction.

Diamonds illuminate exceptional creations with a distinctly Parisian discretion. The diamond bezel transforms each watch into a horological jewel, true to the spirit of Mademoiselle, who declared: "Luxury must be comfortable, otherwise it is not luxury." These precious finishes capture the light with the delicate feel of velvet beneath the fingers.

Calibers and dials: technical precision and refined aesthetics

Each Chanel caliber is the result of close collaboration with the finest Swiss manufacturers. The caliber within each watch undergoes rigorous quality control, ensuring lasting performance. This technical approach honors Mademoiselle Chanel's vision of perfection in every detail for modern elegance.

The dial is the expressive soul of every Chanel watch. The black dial, particularly prized, evokes the Parisian sophistication that Mademoiselle so cherished. These black dials are available in a variety of finishes: glossy lacquer, velvety matte reminiscent of velvet texture, or set with diamonds, depending on the edition. Each enthusiast can thus find the expression that suits her best.

Limited editions and Mademoiselle models

Chanel limited editions are the most sought-after pieces in our collection. Each limited edition tells a unique story, often linked to the House's iconic codes. The movement within these editions often features special finishes, creating exceptional timepieces for discerning collectors.

The Mademoiselle models pay homage to Gabrielle Chanel with a distinctive sophistication. These Chanel Mademoiselle watches incorporate couture details into their horological design. The dial of these models may feature guilloché patterns inspired by Chanel fabrics, sometimes evoking the silky texture of velvet in their interplay of light.

Vintage models reveal the stylistic evolution of Chanel watchmaking. These period pieces allow us to discover dials with motifs no longer found today, offering the possibility of creating truly unique outfits. Wearing an original Première with its black lacquered dial is a subtle reminder of that revolutionary era when Mademoiselle liberated elegance from its constraints.
