The market for masculine timepieces is seemingly increasing with the launch of the new Monsieur de Chanel Calibre 1 Watch. Created over the course of five years, the Monsieur de Chanel Calibre 1 Watch combines the best and brightest from the brand in a way that's inherently forward-thinking.
The Monsieur de Chanel Calibre 1 Watch features 170 components, which have been compiled in-house; a first for the brand. Rather than featuring traditional arms, the watch is outfitted with two separate sections: one for minutes and the other for hours. The individual movements work together to dictate the time in a more uniform manner. With the masculine timepieces limited to just 300 per year, the Monsieur de Chanel Calibre 1 Watch is sure to be a coveted accessory. The watch will go on sale starting in June 2016.
