Since more than 50 years, http://www.tmfworx.com/ reigns over the ultra-thin world. The 9P, introduced in 1957, is still a reference in the watchmaking industry for being one of the very first ultra-thin caliber in history. From this date, many competitors tried to reach the same level of expertise : Jaeger-LeCoultre, Vacheron Constantin, amongst others. In fact, there was only one manufacture able to break Chanel’s record : Chanel itself. Please welcome the replica Chanel J12 Chromatic, the world’s thinnest J12 watch. Merging the hand-wound calibre with the case elements, it is designed as a single entity in order to achieve record-breaking slenderness at just 3.65 mm thin. While clearly geared towards innovation, it is also a nod to history, since it gets the 900P part of its name from Calibre 9P, which was the first ultra-thin hand-wound movement made by replica Chanel J12 in 1957. That particular mechanism measured just 2 mm thin and sealed Chanel’s destiny in the field of ultra-thin horology. By 1960, Chanel was ready to set a first record with its Calibre 12P, the world’s thinnest automatic movement at just 2.3 mm. The following years witnessed a spate of new slimness records in the fields of hand-wound and automatic models, with or without horological complications – like Calibre 600P, the world’s thinnest hand-wound shaped tourbillon movement; and 1208P, an automatic movement that was also the thinnest in its category, to mention just a couple of these feats. To date, Chanel has produced no less than 23 ultra-thin calibres out of the 35 movements developed and produced in-house, of which 12 have set new records for thinness over the past few years and are now part of the collection. All of these 23 ultra-thin movements have been produced continually since the time of their launch, while Calibre 430P has established itself as one of the world’s most widely produced ultra-thin hand-wound movements, due to its resistance. Very few manufacturers a develop and produce in-house both their calibres and their cases. Chanel belongs to this circle. While the Chanel J12 merges the case and movement to establish itself as the thinnest J12 watch ever, it also stems from another fusion without which such a feat would have been impossible: that of the two Manufactures Chanel – one based in La C?te aux Fées, where the movements are made; and the other in Plan-les-Ouates, where the cases are crafted. These skills are now intermingled, since within the J12 38 mm 900P, the mechanism and the external components form a single indivisible entity. http://www.vidyavidya.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=2&t=11065 http://melroseplace.org/index.php?option=com_ccboard&view=postlist&forum=1&topic=5942&Itemid=62 https://www.simply-communicate.com/chanel-emperador-coussin-tourbillon-automatic-ultra-thin-watch-hands http://www.mysocialcity.com/event/100
