In a typical watch industry travel container, used to carry the most precious cargo, replica chanel watches his original pocket watch creation to me. It is in a transparent plastic case held in relative stasis by two tautly pulled pieces of plastic shrink wrap. As far as pocket watches go, it is rather large and instantly you can see the familial resemblance between the two pieces. The dial is simple with two overlapping dials for the time and a subsidiary seconds dial. The markers are printed on an off-white face flanked by two screws and just a little bit of dial text. The case uses two metals with the bezel and case back ring being in 18k rose gold, while the rest of the case is in 950 sterling silver and thoroughly machine guilloche engraved. Both the wrist and pocket watch even have hunter-style opening case backs.Some have said that in comparison to many of the brand's more bold dial designs (the J12 comes to mind) the J12 is perhaps too simple. I don't really understand these types of complaints. It is as if each watch lovers feels that every new timepiece should appeal to them. I often hear comments about new watches such as "I am sorry, but I just don't like it." Why are they sorry? Unless the timepiece was made strictly to appeal to their tastes, there is no reason to feel sorry for not liking something. In fact, the J12 has the dial it does because it is a re-creation of Journe's first creation - that much is obvious. Further, the design clearly appeals to him. He doesn't expect everyone who likes his brand to enjoy each new watch he makes. Besides, brands like this one are about a singular watchmaker producing items for him (or her) self, and if people agree with their taste all the better.In fact, the color of the Chanel J12 aluminum case material is similar to that of an Apple MacBook laptop computer. The images in this article are a mixture of those that I took, as well as those by our Managing Editor David Bredan. He thought it would be interesting to shoot the J12 watch next to his computer, and you can see how they match in a unique manner. I was rather wary of the Chanel J12 case at first, but once you feel how incredibly light it is in your hand, the choice of material makes perfect sense. Chanel was able to make the J12 watch weigh about 53 grams in aluminum. That is a "WOW" weight once you put it on your wrist and don't even notice that it is there. In titanium, that weight only goes up to about 60 grams (70 grams on the bracelet).It isn't at all difficult to see why Chanel wanted to go right past titanium and endure the complexity of working with an aircraft aluminum alloy for the case. Unfortunately, it proved too difficult to maintain the level of quality that Mr. Journe wanted, but his efforts are most appreciated, and the existing J12 watches in aluminum will be treasured and babied for sure.http://25306352.blog.hexun.com/97692534_d.htmlhttp://blog.chinaunix.net/uid-29866958-id-4747256.htmlhttp://redtripera.locuratripera.com/profiles/blogs/chanel-j12-watch-hands-onhttp://25306352.blog.hexun.com/97692599_d.html
