CONTEMPORARY CLASSIC APPEAL AND INTENSE CREATIVE DRIVE

9:58:00 PM

The Salvatore Ferragamo Timepieces 2011 collection draws on the brand’s aesthetic heritage to build its own personality, proposing three new models in parallel with some interesting line extensions.

An up-to-date and entirely novel mix of iconic themes, like the gancino decoration and the versatile use of color, gems and unusual, sophisticated materials, completed by IP Gold finishings, breathes life into a collection of jewelry accessories for special occasions and timepieces that express a casually sophisticated sense of elegance for 24/7 wearability

RENAISSANCE

The creative use of color and precious stones to obtain sophisticated chromatic effects is the characteristic feature of Renaissance, the fashion vintage model for women with a quartz

movement.

Drawing inspiration from a decorative bow featured in the Maison’s various collections, the sinuous case is set off by retro details like the Roman indices, the mesh band bracelet and the cabochon enhanced crown, all contributing to a trendy, sophisticated look.

The hyper-feminine variants feature a steel or IP Gold case, illuminated by diamonds or blue or pink sapphires on the top ring, combined with fine lizard or satin straps in various colors coordinated with the case.

GANCINO SOIRÉE

This jewelry watch represents an exclusive evening accessory and is an icon of Ferragamo style. With its understated elegance and vibrant color set off by fine materials, Gancino Soirée revisits the Brand’s exclusive femininity from a contemporary perspective.

The 24 mm case, which recalls the gancino outline, is embellished by 16 diamonds set in the top ring and the pure color energy of the dial, finished in the characteristic red enamel which has always been a symbol of the Ferragamo world.

Completing the look is cooler steel or warmer IP rose gold bracelet.

GRANDE MAISON

An unmistakably styled timepiece that experiments with highly topical color combinations alongside IP treatments and fine detailing.

The design is essential and distinctive: a case in the shape of a stylised gancino, revisited in a modern interpretation for a contemporary classic look, a guilloché dial with Roman indices and

smart leather straps.

The model makes sophisticated use of color, with a total black version for men featuring an IP finish case and tone-on-tone dial enriched with sunray decoration, and a glamorous model for

women with an IP gold case and fuchsia strap.

Grande Maison is also available as a pair watch, for couples who prefer an understated, impeccable style.

Successful models from previous collections evolve stylistically in step with new trends

FERRAGAMO 1898

The success of this model, a symbol of the elegant-informal style of the Ferragamo man, has paved the way for new declinations.

For connoisseurs, the limited moon phase movement edition is an automatic chronograph with advanced technical complications, a 44 mm case, a gancino outline top ring and IP Gold finishings. The contrast stitching and elegant color juxtapositions give the model a young, sporty look.

Reflecting the season’s trends, IP treatments are also the protagonists of two-tone color schemes for the quartz models with 40 mm case and bracelets in sophisticated shades of black,

gold and brown, featuring alternating polished and brushed surfaces. Ferragamo 1898 is also available in a pair watch version with leather strap, in 40 mm and 33 m sizes.

SALVATORE LADY

This ladies watch, which pays tribute on the case sides to a famous wedge sandal created by the Maison in the nineteen thirties, is permeated with a remarkable luminosity and movement.

The understated IP Gold case is embellished by the dial, which is animated by spiral-shaped mother of pearl inserts that create sophisticated plays of light for an exclusive decorative effect.

Two versions in warm brown and powder puff pink, coordinated with the patent leather strap, contribute to a sophisticated and glamorous allure.

F-80

The evolution of this successful chronograph in the Timepieces collection draws on one of Maison Ferragamo’s creative cornerstones: the original juxtaposition of different materials.

The result is a range of trendy proposals that combine energy and sophistication. F-80 models represent an original and harmonious synthesis of three materials: a titanium case, a ceramic top ring and a rubber or crocodile print leather strap.

The understated total black or white color ways with IP Gold details imbue these timepieces with Ferragamo’s experimental spirit.

GANCINO SPORT

This unprecedented women’s version of the quartz chronograph expresses an even more distinctive sporting style through the diamonds set in the indices. In tune with the featured colors of this season’s collection, Gancino Sport is available in brown/gold and ivory/gold versions, with a rubber strap that clings delicately to the wrist for utmost comfort.

ABOUT THIS BLOG

I am curious. I travel. I am soul searching. Curious Tootling Soul, 3 words referring to me. In our everyday lives, we wander, and we ask questions. Yes, and sometimes it is hard to explain to someone who doesn’t quite see the world how you do— the way you do. Life to many can just be sectionalized and put into little boxes. A box for your true self; a box for your sociable self; a box for your fancies: your wants, your desires. Looking at your bucket list—list, highlight, and check. For some though life isn’t quite so simple. Some of us don’t know exactly what we want to do next or where we want to go, we just know there is so much out there we want to experience. We visit and travel new places often without knowing exactly what for, just that we know in our soul we need to. Mundane, humdrum existence and material things don’t impress us. We are in search for answers, for fulfillment and gratification. We need to be surrounded by love and warmth, growth and good. We know there is nothing better than a genuine laugh or a heartfelt hug. We are moved by the storytellers, the dreamers, the drifters, the people whose lives are different than ours, that we can learn from. We are drawn to new surroundings and unique experiences. As we fall in love with so many things around us, sometimes it is hard to keep track. We love and we continuously holding on for that love. We love different. We love doing things that terrify us because we know those are the moments that we grow. We love looking back and seeing that we have accomplished what we never thought we could, things we never thought were even a possibility. Because it is in those moments we know we are becoming the people we were always intended to be. We leap before we look sometimes. It is finding ourselves when we didn’t know we were lost and continuing to find ourselves over and over again. It is kissing a cute stranger under the stars, waving at a baby we pass on the street, helping someone who cannot repay us. It is jotting down a funny memory or a beautiful quote we can’t forget. It is finding out what makes us smile the biggest, what our passions are, what makes our eyes light up just by talking about it. (an excerpt from A. Twigg, 2015) I fall, but I keep on rising. My faith has been tested, but it always remains. I have grandiose plans and an endless list of options; the places that I want to explore and journeys that I want to take. I don’t always know how I will accomplish something, I just know some ways and the courage of somehow—I will. Life for me is a puzzle of creating moments. It is finding my next adventure. It is setting my feet on new sands, diving into new seas. It is laughing with a group of strangers, singing words to songs that I don’t know matters. It is knowing that there is a whole wide world out there just waiting for me to discover it. It is the feeling that there is no better time than right now to do what we have always wanted to do, so why not go? Do it.
