Markus B. from Vienna, Austria asks: I realized that more and more fashion brands are “poaching” in the haute horlogerie district – like Louis Vuitton, Chanel, but also Ralph Lauren, Gucci, or Hilfiger.

Chanel J12 Chromatic Watch Hands-On
In my short years as an ‘aspiring’ watch photographer, few timepieces have truly evaded a good picture as the Chanel Unisex Watch J12 Chromatic.
