Vintage Chanel Mademoiselle H0880 18ct Gold Diamond Watch | c.1990s

A beautiful expression of Chanel’s unmistakable elegance, this vintage Mademoiselle watch brings together the house’s iconic design language with the refinement of fine Swiss watchmaking.

Crafted in 18ct yellow gold, the perfectly proportioned square case is framed by a sparkling border of factory-set diamonds. The brilliant stones lend a wonderful sense of understated glamour, catching the light beautifully against the warmth of the polished gold.

The crisp white dial is adorned with elongated black Roman numerals and delicate gold-tone hands, creating a striking contrast that feels both classical and distinctly Chanel. A black cabochon-style crown provides a lovely finishing touch.

Perhaps the most recognisable detail is the black quilted leather strap, inspired by the signature quilting of Chanel’s celebrated handbags. Finished with a Chanel-signed folding clasp, it brings together the worlds of fine jewellery, watchmaking and Parisian fashion.

Elegant without being overly formal, the Mademoiselle is a wonderfully versatile piece, equally beautiful worn with everyday tailoring or something more special.

Fully serviced and fitted with a new battery, this lovely example is accompanied by a Chanel service pouch and a Chanel repair guarantee certificate dated July 2024.

A timeless and particularly charming piece of Chanel’s watchmaking heritage, combining beautiful craftsmanship with the enduring appeal of one of fashion’s most iconic houses.
