Red may well be the next colour to take the world of watchmaking by storm, and Chanel has gotten a bit of a head start with the Red Edition Collection, comprising two Boy.Friend watches and a new iteration of one of our favourite watches, the J12 X-Ray. We have written previously quite extensively on the J12 X-Ray, noting the watchmaking links between the Calibre 3.1 that powers it and the Calibre 3 hard at work in the Boy.Friend. Presented together in a single serving, as the Red Edition Collection is, one can clearly see what we meant. Yes, the pun is intended.
While it is tempting to cast the Chanel Red Edition collection as a Chinese New Year offering, the timing must be purely coincidental. You may recall that Chanel went all-in on big colours last year with the J12 Electro Rainbow, although that was purely about the J12. In any case, red is an important colour for Chanel, when used as an accent. Chanel reminds of this with the following quote attributed to Gabriel Chanel: ?If you?re sad or heartbroken, make yourself up, dress up, add more lipstick and attack.?
