Superleggera is an automative throwback term from the 50s which means super light in Italian. Of note, the Lamborghini GT350GTV and Aston Martin DB4 were famous supperleggeras with ultralight bodies with compositions from exotic materials such as aluminum and magnesium.
Made of ceramic and created by Jacques Helleu, this matt-finish timepiece has a sand-blaster watch case and a rubber band. Just like the cars it was designed to represent, the Chanel J12 Superleggera is strong, lightweight and uber masculine.
