Chanel Amping Up Stake In Luxury Watch Arena

London, UK—Luxury fashion house Chanel is betting bigger on luxury watches. After grabbing a 20% stake in upscale watchmaker Montres Journe SA last year, Retail Dive reports the brand is now taking a stake in Swiss watch parts manufacturer Kenissi, which specializes in automatic movements. The move suggests Chanel is very serious about the luxury timepiece market, and Retail Dive says it plans to introduce a new Kenissi-made, Chanel branded model at the Baselworld fair in March.
