“Modern – Jeweler – Designer” since 1936, an adventurer with a passion for precious stones and pearls, Fred Samuel spent his life roaming the world, on a mission to make women even more beautiful. He grew up in Argentina, and he always kept in mind the bright light, the ever-present ocean, and the mellow energy of South America, all of which became central themes in his work. Great athlete, Fred Samuel transmitted his passion for sailing to his sons. This is how in 1966, the Force 10 collection was born: “My elder son had the idea of braiding together marine cables fixed on both sides by rivets, in order to create a bracelet for his wife. He then added a gold clasp in the shape of a carabineer.” Made up of an audacious combination of gold and steel, this bracelet became known as the first sport jewel. An easy-to-wear jewel, casual, that can now be adapted to endless possibilities thanks to its interchangeable bracelet. For the first time, the Maison FRED, through L’ Atelier FRED offers a unique experience combining know-how, imagination and new technologies, and invites its customers to create their entirely made-to-measure Force 10 bracelet. The Maison FRED is dedicating a complete customization space to Force 10. This customization is designed to be a real game of construction that is fun and gives free rein to your imagination, instincts, whims and fancies. Jeweler of creative audacity, FRED offers through its Atelier an innovative experience that is deeply rooted in its DNA. www.fred.com
