Vintage Chanel Matelassé Watch

Vintage Chanel Matelassé Watch H0009

The Matelassé translates Chanel’s signature quilting — the pattern of the 2.55 bag — into a wristwatch, making it one of the house’s defining designs of the 1990s. The diamond quilting flows uninterrupted from case to bracelet, lending the steel a softness it has no right to possess.

The case and bracelet are stainless steel. The black dial carries the same quilted lines, with no numerals or markers — only two hands moving quietly across the pattern. A black cabochon caps the crown, a small, precise Chanel gesture.

In the hand, the quilted links articulate smoothly and settle closely around the wrist. This is a piece with the presence of a bracelet first and a watch second — jewellery that happens to keep time. The black dial sits naturally against monochrome dressing or bare skin.

As a vintage piece, it shows signs of use: light scratches and wear on the case and bracelet, and age-related corrosion on the hands. Please review the photographs carefully and choose this piece only if you appreciate it as part of its vintage character.

Tested and confirmed running at the time of dispatch. As a vintage quartz watch, the battery may shift out of position during transit due to vibration, causing the watch to pause temporarily. In most cases, reseating the battery will restore function. Please purchase only if you are comfortable with the characteristics of vintage timepieces.
