Want it Wednesday: Chanel J12 Watches

Did you notice how I turned the noun watch plural in the title? That wasn’t merely because I am showing more than one version, that is because I truly want a whole collection of Chanel J12 watches. From what I have been told, collecting J12 watches becomes quite the addiction and I can easily see why.

I am not much of a watch girl myself. I appreciate watches for the functionality they bring us but think of them more as a statement piece. If I am to wear a watch, I want it to be the J12. There are so many options and the design of the watch is geometric, simple and graphic.

Since Chanel knows diamonds are a girl’s best friend, the J12 comes in diamond embezzled renditions as well. I would settle for either of these options, but even having a little glimmer with diamond markers would make my heart go pitter patter. More via Chanel.com.

I first bought a white 33mm with diamond markers and loved it so much I bought a black 33mm with diamond markers the next day. I have very nice, really expensive watches, but these are my go to watches I wear on a daily basis. I think they are so much fun to wear and I always get noticed.

so much more fashionable than Rolex watches!!!

  8-O Blasphemy!! LOL jk! They are very pretty but Rolex’s are a classic IMO! I like Omega for a little bit of the unexpected tho. I have one with a mother or pearl face and I find it more functional than diamonds..

I do <3 my white one, really pops esp suitable for casual outfits. Use my black with diamond markers for more formal occasion. Love them both!!

I love mine…..wore it yesterday ~ blk with Diamonds. And yes, I want a white one too. A few months ago I was waiting in the security line at the airport and spotted a girl in front of us with a white one on and I couldn’t take my eyes off of it ~ just gorgeous!!!

Hate to be the lone dissenter here because I LOVE my Chanel flap, but I have always thought these watches were way over-hyped. Even my SA at the Chanel boutique I shopped at had one, and she made a point to say how she much preferred Michele ceramic watches at a fraction of the cost.

  I have to respectfully disagree! I have both a J12, and a Michelle ceramic. There is just no comparison….I like (and wear) my J12 so much more than the Michelle (or my Micheal Kors ceramic)…..it just has a richness, and solid-ness to it that the others don’t quite have. To each her own! :)

I have always wanted one of these watches, but I want to save my money for either a Tag Heur or a Cartier Tank.

These watches are very nice. But when you spend beaucoup dollars on a watch or anything else, it’d nice to know you could recoup at least a good percentage of the cost if you needed to sell the asset for cash. If that is a concern, it’s important to consider the brand. If you spent 10 G’s on a Chanel watch vs. 10 G’s on a Rolex, the Rolex would likely get the higher resale value. If you live in a world where that is not an issue whatsoever, then kudos to you. Building a wardrobe of watches can be a lot of fun. And they don’t take up that much space to boot! There are so many beautiful ones out there.

I’m obsessed with my J12 watches, so much so that I have three! I wear them all the time though so that justifies it…right? But seriously, I would recommend them to anyone!
