Chanel presents Premiere Ribbon Red

A bracelet with a velvet-touch that elegantly embraces the wrist. An octagonal dial whose shape recalls the stopper of the N5 perfume and the shape of the Place Vendome. An essential colour in the universe of Gabriele Chanel... Red. A red that defines this distinctive Premiere.

C

reated in 1987, the Premiere initiated a true lesson in style by opening the first page of Chanel’s watchmaking history.

Its bold design - an octagonal case featuring a monochrome dial without indexes or a seconds hand - and its immediately recognisable signature offered freedom from all the codes of traditional watchmaking.

In 2026, this iconic creation is dressed in red. This flamboyant and vibrant tone, a metaphor for passion and audacity, was one of Gabrielle Chanel’s favourite colours.

Constantly reinterpreted in the creations of the house, this colour is rendered in an intense hue. The sunburst-lacquered dial offers an exquisite play of light reflections, while the bracelet combines a velvet touch with a couture feeling.

Refined down to the smallest detail, this piece features a yellow gold case as well as a diamond-set crown to further accentuate its preciousness.
