The J12 Boat Race trophies: A triumph of exceptional savoir-faire. As part of the partnership with The Boat Race, the legendary rowing competition for which CHANEL J12 serves as the first Title Sponsor and Official Timekeeper, and to mark the Centenary of the women’s race, Arnaud Chastaingt, Director of the CHANEL Watch Creation Studio, has designed two trophies for the very first time, crafted within the prestigious British fine silver workshops of Thomas Lyte. From modeling to final assembly, including shaping the forms, polishing, gold plating and engraving, every stage in the creation of the J12 Boat Race trophies preserves the excellence of exceptional savoir-faire. The highlight of these creations is the integration of a black or white frame that echoes the hue of the J12 watch’s ceramic, a technical feat as delicate as it is unprecedented.  Learn more at https://lnkd.in/eX5Dr4CR #CHANELJ12BoatRace The Boat Race Company Thomas Lyte
