OBJECT OF DESIRE

There’s something inherently jet set about a white watch,

especially when it’s worn against suntanned skin. But when that watch is Chanel’s new J12-365, it assumes an aura of ultra-glamour, conjuring thoughts of Côte d’Azur adventures. That afternoon in Provence. Diamonds winking in the heat. His eyes. Wishing time would stop. That, mes amis, is priceless. Ceramic, diamond and 18-karat-whitegold watch, Chanel (price upon request, chanel.com)
