French Maison Chanel’s emblematic Premiére timepiece has made its return after over three decades. As the luxury Maison’s first horological effort, the original watch was conceived in 1987 by Jacques Helleu, the Maison’s Artistic Director at the time.
The re-issued Premiére model honors the original watch with subtle design upgrades. Attired in an octagonal silhouette that references the N°5 perfume flacon, the case is crafted from steel before being doused in a coating of 18k yellow gold, complete with an onyx cabochon-set crown.
Adding to the Premiére’s many iconic features, the bracelet is presented as a chain strap with interwoven leather straps that are typically used on Chanel’s iconic quilted handbags. The center of the watch houses a lustrously smooth black lacquer dial, free of indices, numerals, date display, and hands.
Lightly embellishing the watch face are two minimalistic gold hands and monochromatic branding. Beating inside the timepiece, its high-precision quartz movement powers all of the watch’s time-telling functions with a 3 ATM water resistance.
The Chanel Premiére Édition Originale is currently available at selected Chanel boutiques and selected stores wordwide for the price of $5,500 USD/ £5,200 GBP. To purchase or to read more about the timepiece, come into the beautiful world of Chanel.
Chanel has just launched the most perfect mascara – the Noir Allure. Echoing the elegant design of the Maison’s Rouge Allure’s lipsticks – a black lacquered case with the gold base, it comes complete with that beauty cliche – the satisfying click; made when you release the mascara from its case.
Containing three naturally derived waxes – beeswax, carnauba wax and rice wax, Noir Allure is also packed full of provitamin B5, to hydrate, protect and lengthen your lashes. Darkest black with a drop of red for drama, Noir Allure has a unique brush which is made of spikes rather than bristles which help separate the lashes as well as building coverage so you can create the look you want.
Easy to apply, one swipe gives you full, long-lasting coverage is very easy to apply and it also doesn’t flake. And when it comes to removing, that is a cinch – your regular cleanser does the job easily. This mascara is a thing of beauty.

The Mediterranean sun. The endless sea. The scent of orange blossoms and fresh lavender blooms.
The architecture of a simple, inviting, and peaceful Provençal villa. In the 1920s, high on the ridge of RoquebruneCap-Martin, Gabrielle Chanel had a house built in her image and filled it with private references: five windows above the front door in homage to her favorite number, 5, a banister inspired by Aubazine, the place where she grew up, and a large star above her bed, symbolizing her fascination with constellations. Mademoiselle Chanel gave this haven, a true respite from the hustle and bustle of Paris, a name: La Pausa.
Chanel has designed a collection replete with earthy, woodsy, golden shades. A celebration of the characteristic light that shines on the Riviera during the first days of spring.
Far from the city, it was where the designer came to unwind for more than 20 years, accompanied by some of her dearest friends, including Jean Cocteau, Misia Sert, and Salvador Dalí. She had her picture taken in her garden, surrounded by one-hundred-year-old olive trees and flowers, and threw casual, festive parties,
Her art de vivre permeates the entire property, from the garden to the luxurious bathroom. Everything exudes her style. As soon as spring arrives, the rooms are flooded with the gentle sunlight of the South of France, which makes La Pausa appear to shine as if untouched by time. Both in harmony with nature and located in the idyllic setting of the Côte d’Azur, La Pausa is an essential, joyful testament to the history, taste, and heritage of Gabrielle Chanel.
A warm, sunny collection
The beauty of this legendary villa inspired the Spring-Summer 2022 collection. The light of La Pausa, dear to Mademoiselle, is the central theme that guided the Maison’s Makeup Creation Studio. The natural, earthy colors and sparkling sunlight surrounding the villa are at the heart of this collection. The ‘sunbeam’ button motif is designed to represent the Riviera embossed on the powder products.
Chanel has also incorporated the soothing, healing spirit of La Pausa into the collection with the launch of Rouge Coco Baume. This moisturizing, tinted lip balm has all the qualities of a lipstick.
Rouge Coco Baume, color and care
Rouge Coco Baume is the major release of this new makeup collection. Just like the villa, Chanel’s latest lip balm is both chic and comforting. Its pared-down, all-white packaging can distinguish it. Rouge Coco Baume was designed in the same style as the iconic Rouge Coco line without compromising on effectiveness or aesthetics. The spirit of La Pausa inspired Chanel Research and the Chanel Makeup Creation Studio to develop a lip care product with unique sensory qualities, combining the color provided by a lipstick with the moisturizing benefits of a balm.
The skin on the lips, which is remarkably thin and lacks a natural protective film, requires special care. Rouge Coco Baume keeps the lips looking beautiful day after day with the help of Olive Oleoactive, a new active ingredient produced specifically for Chanel and an echo to La Pausa’s hundred-year-old olive trees.
It is in the heart of the Mediterranean Sea, on the island of Sardinia, where the olive trees selected by Chanel Research flourish. Derived from the leaves and fruit of olive trees, the Oleoactive is obtained through a patented, sustainable extraction process called oleo-eco-extraction. Containing a high concentration of polyphenols and omega-9s, this exclusive active ingredient provides antioxidant protection throughout the entire day. To provide complete care for the lips, Rouge Coco Baume combines a moisturizing active ingredient, shea butter, and three plant waxes at the heart of the Hydra Boost Complex, the signature ingredient Rouge Coco line. Its silky formula glides onto the lips and keeps them moisturized all day long.
Lip balms, the color of summer flowers
The balm is available in six shades, each of which conjures the image of the flowers that grow around La Pausa. From deep burgundy to fresh pink to the energizing power of fuchsia, Rouge Coco Baume is available in a full range of colors. Easy to apply, it effortlessly enhances the lips with natural-looking, buildable color. Upon application, the lips are coated in a sheer wash of color which, layer by layer, transforms into a more intense, semi-matte finish. A transparent, pearlescent white shade completes the collection and intensifies the lips’ natural radiance.
Proven Lip care benefits: Rouge Coco Baume moisturizes the lips immediately upon application (+29%) and provides hydration for up to 8 hours (+24%). Lips feel 47% more comfortable upon application and up to twelve hours afterward (+50%). It reduces feelings of dryness and tightness for up to 12 hours. The lips instantly look and feel smoother, and their contours appear more defined. After 28 days of use, they feel softer and less chapped (-23%), looking more beautiful with each passing day.

Eyes that sparkles in the colors of the Côte d’Azur
The collection’s eye makeup creations are infused with the soft, sunlit hues of the landscape surrounding La Pausa. A unique new version of Les 4 Ombres features the ‘sunbeam’ motif and the villa’s enveloping shades. It includes a khaki brown color reminiscent of the garden’s olive trees, accompanied by gold and copper shades that evoke the dazzling sunlight of the Côte d’Azur. This light also inspired the new, golden beige shade of Ombre Première Laque, which makes the eyes shimmer with a luminous, natural glow.

A warm, sun-kissed complexion
The two Blush Lumière exclusive creations, designed in coral pink and terracotta brown shades, warm up the complexion and leave it glowing. The coral shade is ideal for daytime wear, the brown for a bold, chic look. Both blushes provide coverage that can be adjusted depending on one’s needs, thanks to their easily blendable, creamy powder formula.
For a complete sun-kissed look, Baume Essentiel subtly illuminates the complexion, creating the effect of a holiday spent in the sun. Its shimmery coral pink shade livens up the cheeks with a natural, healthy glow. The face is left looking radiant and warm.

One of the world’s most iconic pefumes, Chanel N0.5, celebrates its 100th anniversary this year.
Like all of madame Coco Chanel’s memorable creations, No.5 broke with the traditions of the time to establish a new norm. In 1921, ‘soliflores’ perfumes, or fragrances that smell like a single flower, were the industry standard. Coco Chanel wanted to stretch the boundaries of perfumery and create a scent that could not be attributed to any one thing in nature.
As she told her perfumer, Ernest Beaux, No.5 should be ‘an artificial fragrance like a dress, something crafted’. The result was a revolution in perfumery that blended more than 80 scents, including jasmine, ylang-ylang, sandalwood and May rose, with an unprecedented amount of aldehydes, the organic compounds that amplify a fragrance’s olfactory profile.
The minimal, square bottle, with a clean graphic label, was also starkly different from the more flamboyant perfume phials of the period. The timelessness of the flacon design is evidenced by how little it has changed since 1921, altering just four times, each with only slight adjustments to cap size or label font. Its enduring appeal is yet another testament to the genius of Coco Chanel.
The French Maison is unveiling a variety initiatives to commemorate this momentous event in its history. To celebrate the ultimate ‘celebrity’ of the perfume world, the brand released a short film called ‘Celebrity’, starring Marion Cotillard (the face of Chanel No.5), ballet dancer Marie-Agnès Gillot, Chinese fashion media icon Hung Huang, psychologist Laurie Santos, former Vanity Fair editor Graydon Carter, and dance star Lil Buck. The film saw this eclectic array of famous faces discussing the impact of celebrity – its role in shaping our culture, its influence on psychology, and its effect on future generations.
Other initiatives include the Chanel Factory 5, a series of pop-up spaces around the world that will launch from the 29 June. It’s sure to be an exciting year for the brand, with more announcements to come – watch this space. Come into the beautiful world of Chanel.
