Gisele Bündchen dives into the deep end with the Chanel J12
Released at the turn of the millennium in 2000, the Chanel J12 was the first luxury timepiece to be completely crafted from ceramic — a material that now holds a firm place in the luxury watch industry. This year, the seminal sports watch celebrates its 26th anniversary, with Chanel marking the occasion with a new campaign starring Brazilian supermodel Gisele Bündchen and French model Clément Chabernaud. Directed by Scandinavian filmmaker and visual artist Jonas Lindstroem and photographed by Jack Davison, the campaign takes to the water, exploring how Jacques Helleu—the house’s artistic director for watches at the time—referenced the sleek lines of yachts in the design of the J12. The campaign depicts Bündchen on a sailboat while Chabernaud is seen rowing, with the visual imagery taking on an intimate, stripped back tone.
“After years in the fast-paced fashion world, I slowed down and began living with intention,” said Gisele Bündchen of her alignment with the campaign. “The J12 speaks to that shift, the campaign idea is to show timelessness, strength, and quiet elegance. It reflects the balance I strive for in my life, honouring beauty and simplicity while embracing growth and change.”
