The singular allure of this Fred marine icon
Created in 1966, the Force 10 collection has its roots in the founding family's nautical passion, born from the innovative idea of braiding marine cables secured by a shackle. This second-hand bracelet embodies this sporting daring with absolute elegance. The centrepiece is an 18K white gold shackle, reference 0B0076, magnified by a semi-pavé of white diamonds. The overall look offers a luxurious contrast between the jewelled sophistication of the sparkling gold and the athletic line of its cables.
Architecture and jewellery expertise
The design of this setting is based on perfectly mastered asymmetry. The upper half of the manille houses multiple brilliant-cut diamonds held in place by a highly precise grain setting. This technique enables the gems to catch the light intensely. The white gold structure is generously robust, while retaining an ergonomic fluidity when worn. The integrated fastening system illustrates precise and secure mechanical engineering.
Why this second-hand bracelet
Investing in this set offers an undeniable advantage for enthusiasts of the Maison. Obtaining this level of modularity represents a very significant budget on the contemporary market. This exceptional set includes 5 distinct cables, including the luxurious multichain model with rectangular links entirely forged in white gold. This diversity allows the look of the jewel to be adapted as the days go by, moving from coloured cordwork to the preciousness of solid gold, maximising the intelligence of this acquisition.
