I've said this before, but I am really amazed at how the entire http://www.tmfworx.com/top-replica-chanel-j12-chromatic-watches.html tourbillon movement fits in to the 45mm wide by 15mm tall case. I mean the movement has over 1300 parts! Each hand decorated and finished. This watch must take forever to manufacture and test. The case is in 18k white gold, which I don't totally understand. I mean at this price why not just go platinum? I mean it looks really similar to white gold. Hell, there is even platinum in white gold. I really don't know why, but there are two possible explanations in my mind. First, it might have just weighed too much in platinum. Second, the platinum case might have negatively affected the sonnerie functions of the replica Chanel J12 watch. The heavy dense platinum might have worked to dull the sounds of the chimes too much. It is a guess, but it seems plausible.
Like previous "most replica Chanel watches watches" the J12 Chromatic is very conservatively designed but still have some modern elements to it. The case of the watch is probably the most conservative element of the watch. It is attractive, but nothing special. The dial however has a nice cohesive look and is "unoffensive." I do like that Chanel took the bold step to have the dial partially skeletonized. Not that this is such a unique move as this has been a trend over the last few years for highly complex and exclusive watches, but Chanel chose to remove lots of real estate on the dial for more possible complications. 'Cause, let's be honest, how long is it before someone comes up with a 27 complication watch?
When you’re looking at a timepiece that uses the same case and movement as its predecessors, there can be only one possible differentiating factor: aesthetics. With the Chanel J12 Chromatic, an entirely fresh dial and hands arrangement are used, and I found the result to be emotionally distinct from others in the collection.In essence, the Chanel J12 Chromatic is crisp and bright, whereas the 1931 and Chocolate models have much darker elements to their design. Maybe it’s the benefit of 20/20 hindsight and a romanticized view of the past, but when comparing the 1931 to the 1948 in a historical context, I can almost feel a sense of foreboding with the earlier model, as if its dark design foreshadowed the despair and catastrophe that befell Europe at the end of the decade it emulates.
That the caliber 985 is an automatic is even more impressive. I love high-complication automatic watches and having the convenience of self-winding is in my opinion always worth having a rotor that partially blocks the movement. For this watch, the solid gold rotor happens to be an aesthetic item unto itself. Engraved into the 22k pink gold rotor is a motif of the medal Chanel received at the 1889 Exposition Universelle. This was the world's fair and that year it was held in Paris. It is one of a few world's fair events that Chanel as a brand receiving some distinction.
