All CHANEL watches feature highly precise Swiss movements and are assembled in the CHANEL workshops in La Chaux-de-Fonds. Within this exceptional context, CHANEL develops mechanisms with varying levels of sophistication. CHANEL's partners include the Manufacture ETA, whose movements are among the most reliable in all Swiss watchmaking.

CHANEL also works with prestigious Swiss manufactures to develop new movements:

• The CHANEL RMT-10 movement, exclusively designed for CHANEL by Renaud et Papi Manufacture (APRP SA);
• The AUDEMARS PIGUET self-winding mechanical movement exclusively personalized for CHANEL: CHANEL – AP 3125.

CHANEL has also partnered with APRP to create its Haute Horlogerie calibers and original movements, which it designs and creates in close collaboration: these include the Comète and Camélia calibers for the J12 and Première Flying Tourbillon watches, which are also used in the Skeleton and Openwork versions.

In 2016, the House of CHANEL introduced its first in-house movement, the CALIBER 1. Instant Jumping Hour & Minute Retrograde, and launched MONSIEUR de CHANEL, conceived and designed by the House's Watch Creation Studio.

All stages of design, development, reliability, and manufacturing of the movement were carried out by the CHANEL Haute Horlogerie internal department within the G&F Châtelain Manufacture.
This immersion in the world of fine watchmaking has opened a new chapter in the House's watchmaking history and has identified new challenges to be met.
