Known to fans as the “human Chanel”, Jennie’s style has long made headlines for its effortless blend of luxury, trend and individuality. The Blackpink star’s taste in timepieces is just as considered, moving effortlessly between haute horlogerie, understated vintage classics and playful, trend-driven accessories. Her collection reflects the many facets of her personal style: a longstanding relationship with Chanel, an appreciation for vintage watchmaking and the occasional whimsical piece that reminds you she’s still, at heart, a pop star having fun with fashion.
Here’s a closer look at the timepieces in her collection.
Chanel Première Galon
As Chanel’s global ambassador, it’s only fitting that Jennie has been seen wearing some of the maison’s most distinctive watches. Among them is the Première Galon, a contemporary interpretation of Chanel’s iconic Première collection.
Rather than following the conventional case-and-strap formula, the Première Galon is designed as a sculptural gold bangle. Its twisted, braided silhouette draws inspiration from the decorative trims Gabrielle Chanel used to finish the edges and pockets of her couture jackets. Nestled within the braid is the signature octagonal Première dial—a black lacquer face with floating hands and no numerals—creating the impression of a seamless cuff rather than a traditional wristwatch.
The piece feels particularly apt for Jennie, who became a Chanel ambassador in 2017 and has since fronted multiple watch campaigns for the house, including the Première Édition Originale alongside Lily-Rose Depp, photographed at the Ritz Paris.
Chanel Boy·Friend Watch in Medium
If the Première Galon celebrates Chanel’s feminine design language, the Boy·Friend collection offers a more androgynous expression. Introduced in 2015, the watch was conceived to blur the boundaries between masculine and feminine aesthetics.
Jennie’s medium-sized model embodies that effortless balance with its softly angular rectangular case and quilted calfskin strap, echoing the stitching found on Chanel’s signature handbags. Designed with interchangeable straps and cases, it also offers an element of personalisation. Jennie was notably seen wearing the watch while attending Chanel’s Spring/Summer 2025 show during Paris Fashion Week.
Patek Philippe Golden Ellipse
Away from Chanel, one of the standout pieces in Jennie’s collection is a vintage Patek Philippe Golden Ellipse. First introduced in 1968 and inspired by the golden ratio, the Golden Ellipse remains one of the brand’s most quietly revolutionary designs. Neither round nor rectangular, its appeal lies in its harmonious proportions rather than technical complexity. The model spotted on Jennie’s wrist is the discontinued women’s reference 4223/1, crafted in yellow gold and paired with a deep blue sunburst dial.
Ven&Qu Gem Watch
Jennie’s collection isn’t made up exclusively of luxury names. The Gem Watch comes from Ven&Qu, a South Korean label known for producing accessible stainless-steel watches powered by reliable Japanese Miyota quartz movements. Jennie chose the Gem Silver/Pearl model, pairing it with a feminine stage look that demonstrated her ability to mix high fashion with more affordable pieces.
Steve Madden x Mackenzie Belle Watch Ring
Perhaps the most playful piece in Jennie’s collection wasn’t worn on her wrist at all, but on her finger. Featured in the music video for her hit song Mantra, the watch ring comes from the collaboration between Steve Madden and jewellery designer Mackenzie Belle.
The fully functional miniature timepiece features a brightly coloured dial mounted on a stretch ring band, transforming a nostalgic novelty into a fashion statement. Equal parts retro and kitsch, it recalls the playful accessories of the 1980s rather than traditional luxury watchmaking—a fitting choice for the bold, carefree spirit of the song.
