built 233 days ago
The Chanel logotype is an interlocking double-C, one facing forwards the other facing backwards. This derives from the name Coco Chanel. "Coco" is the nickname frequently used by Chanel founder, Gabrielle Chanel. The logotype was not trade-marked until during the first openings of Chanel stores.

Gabrielle Chanel's modernity surprised the world of her time. Born at the end of the 19th century, she quickly understood that all was there for her taking. By audaciously combining her ideas and her innate sense of beauty, she created what was to become a unique style. From the 1932 collection Bijoux de Diamants exclusively dedicated to platinum and diamonds pieces presented on wax busts, to the 2005 J12 Tourbillon watch in high-tech ceramic and white gold, the splendor of Chanel watches remains intact and pure as ever. Choose from among the mens watches and womens/ladies watches that are part of the fine collection of Chanel watches brought to you by Dexclusive.com

Boldly defying convention again and again, Gabrielle Chanel was as audacious as the signature scarlet lipstick she created. She wore open-necked shirts when her contemporaries buttoned theirs up, and showed off her ankles by donning trousers with the confident swagger of her male friends.
