Chanel Mademoiselle Perles - c. 2000

"Go get all my pearls" (Gabrielle Chanel) Description Like many Chanel watches, the Chanel Mademoiselle is a real jewel on the wrist. The bracelet is delicately adorned with pearls, surrounding an elegant yellow gold case. A welcome revisit to the traditional pearl-on-chain bracelet, secured by an ingenious yellow gold clasp. With its quartz movement, this watch is extremely practical. How to wear it? This Chanel Mademoiselle, with its pearls, embodies Parisian elegance. It's undoubtedly a dress watch, perfect for your evenings out. A perfect balance between watch and jewel. Why choose one or the other when you can wear both? It also perfectly matches the style of Gabrielle Chanel, who wore pearls in all circumstances, day and night, over a sweater, a black dress, tweed, etc. A play of tastes and contrasts. Pearls are the accessory that sets the tone for the outfit. A marriage between comfort and sophistication, simplicity and extravagance. Why did Françoise choose it? You may have already seen the emblematic Mademoiselle model, but you rarely come across it with its pearl bracelet and yellow gold case. A watch that remains uncluttered, with a minimalist design. That's why we've chosen it: it offers additional luxury, magnifying this flagship model from the House of Chanel. History A watch that follows on from the Chanel Première launched by the Maison in 1987, the first watch imagined and created exclusively for women by Gabrielle Chanel. Pearls are one of Gabrielle Chanel's favorite emblems: since the Second World War, the designer has worn pearls on all occasions, including the famous sautoirs seen in her portraits. So it's hardly surprising to find a watch collection bearing the name "Mademoiselle", in homage to Coco, some of whose models are embellished with strings of pearls.
