<p data-start="207" data-end="847">On Wednesday, October 22, <a href="https://www.lofficielusa.com/fashion-week/chanel-spring-summer-2026-collection-runway-images-matthieu-blazy-debut" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Chanel</a> hosted an intimate dinner at the recently opened Chateau Royale in downtown Manhattan to celebrate the launch of the Premi&egrave;re Galon watch, the latest evolution of the maison&rsquo;s storied timepiece line. The evening brought together a crowd of actors, musicians, and creatives&mdash;including Sarah Pidgeon, Riley Keough, Tessa Thompson, Lucy Boynton, Annabelle Dexter-Jones, Justine Skye, Paloma Elsesser, Devon Lee Carlson, Athena Calderone, Beverly Nguyen, Chloe Wise, Coco Baudelle, and stylist Kate Young, among others.</p>
<p data-start="207" data-end="847">The Premi&egrave;re holds a special place in the house&rsquo;s legacy. Originally introduced in 1987 as <a href="https://www.lofficielusa.com/fashion/men-wearing-chanel-purse-trend-matthieu-blazy-debut" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Chanel&rsquo;s</a> first-ever watch, it was a revolutionary step for the brand&mdash;transforming timepieces from masculine-coded accessories into feminine expressions of style. Its signature octagonal case echoes the stopper of the N&deg;5 perfume bottle and the aerial view of Place Vend&ocirc;me seen from Gabrielle Chanel&rsquo;s suite at the Ritz Paris, while its leather-interlaced chain bracelet pays homage to the maison&rsquo;s iconic quilted handbags.</p>

<p data-start="1391" data-end="1860">Now, with the Premi&egrave;re Galon, Chanel reimagines another of its quintessential design codes: the braided trim. Inspired by the detailing that Gabrielle Chanel used to define her signature suits, the new watch&rsquo;s bracelet is crafted as a twisted braid in solid 18-carat yellow gold, available in three variations&mdash;one in pure gold, another accented with diamonds and a black-lacquered dial, and a third fully diamond-set edition pairing white and yellow gold.</p>
<p data-start="1862" data-end="2099" data-is-last-node="" data-is-only-node="">Elegant yet modern, the Premi&egrave;re Galon continues Chanel's tradition of elevating everyday accessories into timeless expressions of couture craftsmanship. The watch is now available in select Chanel boutiques across the United States.</p>
