Le bracelet Force 10 Fred is one of the most emblematic creations of the Fred house. Inspired by the nautical world and now a true symbol of freedom and casual elegance, this bracelet has survived the decades without ever losing its power of attraction. At once a technical jewel, a fashion accessory and a statement of spirit, it is the perfect embodiment of Fred's bold, modern vision of jewellery.
A creation born of the sea
The Force 10 bracelet was created in 1966 by one of founder Fred Samuel's sons, a keen sailor. He designed a bracelet woven from marine steel cables, fastened with a manila shackle (a U-shaped metal buckle used on boats), transformed into a jewellery clasp. The name "Force 10" refers to the Beaufort scale, which measures wind intensity, symbolising power and resistance.
This bracelet, originally designed as a gift for his wife, combines solidity, aesthetics and modernity. It quickly won over a clientele sensitive to its sporty, free spirit, and became a signature of the Fred brand in its own right.
A modular, unisex design
The success of the bracelet Force 10 is its modularity. It is made up of two elements: the cable (in steel, gold or textile) and the shackle, available in yellow, pink or white gold, sometimes paved with diamonds. This system means you can personalise your bracelet to suit your mood, your outfit or the season.
Mixed by nature, the Force 10 is worn by both men and women. It comes in a range of sizes and colours to suit every style, and can be worn alone or in combination. Its sleek, contemporary design makes it an everyday jewel, equally at home in the office or by the sea.
A symbol of attachment and freedom
As well as its aesthetic appeal, the Force 10 bracelet carries a great deal of meaning. It symbolises the strength of bonds, resistance to hardship and attachment to those we love. It's often chosen as a gift for couples, friends or important occasions, like a modern, discreet talisman.
