Chanel introduced the Première in 1987 and made it architectural. The octagonal case references Place Vendôme in Paris, the black lacquered dial keeps it minimal, the 52 brilliant cut diamonds on the bezel do the rest. This gourmette bracelet version is the one with presence, substantial chain links that feel like jewelry first, watch second. The onyx cabochon crown is a signature detail, Swiss quartz movement keeps it precise and low maintenance.
