    Chanel J12 GMT Matte Watch Review

    Today I’d like to review the Chanel J12 GMT Matte ref. H3101 men’s watch from a brand that typically makes things for women.

    Chanel Code Coco Watch

    Of all the Swiss watch brands, Watch Channel V Online is perhaps the only one that could pull off introducing two new calibers, one year after the next, followed immediately by a quartz fashion watch designed after a handbag clasp, giving it a name like Chanel Code Coco.

    It probably doesn’t surprise you that as the founder of aBlogtoWatch, I spend a lot of time looking at watches on the internet.

    Recalling A Modern Exotic: Chanel J12 Rétrograde Mystérieuse Tourbillon Watch

    I’d like to experiment with a new column where I talk about interesting specimens of high horology that perhaps should have never made it beyond the concept phase.

    Point/Counterpoint: ‘Fashion House’ Watches For Men?

    Welcome to Point/Counterpoint, an aBlogtoWatch column where two of our resident horological aficionados duke it out over a point of contention. Last time, we debated over “Conservative or Personal Choice As First Nice Watch,” and now Ariel Adams and James Stacey spar over so-called “fashion house” watches.
