Gladiateur Collector

A tribute to those who are fond of unique pieces, the Gladiateur Collector is a limited edition collection with lines that evoke the spirit of sportsmanship and the unyielding power of ancient warriors. A subtle reflection of FRED values and its expertise in jewellery making and in Swiss watchmaking, this new design features details inspired by the marine universe, including a blue sapphire cabochon, entirely automatic movements, as well as all other features associated with an authentic diving watch.

Inspiration

A DESIGN WITH A DISTINCTIVELY MODERN STYLE

The Gladiateur Collector features a rounded case and combines polished and satin-finished details in 18-carat gold or stainless steel with the natural rubber of the strap. Available in 40 and 44 mm, it blends comfort and elegant refinement in a way that will appeal to both men and women.

A NAME THAT SETS IT APART

With solid lines and generous shapes, this new version exudes bold character like the gladiators of ancient times.  Its sword-shaped skeleton hands give it a stronger, more assertive personality. And, because it is only available in a limited edition series of 36 or 1936 numbered copies, the new Gladiateur Collector will appeal to all avid collectors with its high value and unique characteristics.

A STRONG IDENTITY INSPIRED BY FRED VALUES

The smooth shape of the Gladiateur Collector is distinguished by details inspired by the marine universe, which are seen throughout FRED designs. The crown protector (a truly stylish element) is reminiscent of a rigging shackle, and the unidirectional bezel echoes the shape of a rudder. The strap features a reinterpretation of a sailing rope pattern woven in natural rubber, a truly impressive technical feat. 

Savoir Faire

WATCH MAKING EXPERTISE 

Signed by the world’s most well-known watch manufacturers, the entirely automatic movements of Gladiateur Collector watches were selected for their performance, reliability and resistance. With large hands and extra-luminescent indexes, a unidirectional indented bezel and a screw-down crown secured with a crown protector, as well as an adjustable strap, it is water-resistant to 200 meters and has all the features of a diving watch. Highly functional, it is also extremely easy to read with its large dial window. 

PRESTIGIOUS MATERIALS

For the case and clasp, 316L steel and 18-carat 5N red gold were selected for their stainless, anti-allergenic properties as well as their extreme resistance to impact and wear. Natural mother-of-pearl and black lacquer were selected for their sheen and for the elegant look they add to each face. The carbon fiber of the face (a very high-tech material that is used in the naval industry) was selected for its light weight and extreme resistance to high temperatures. Finally, the vulcanised rubber of the strap is recognised for its exceptional strength and elasticity.

A JEWELLER’S SIGNATURE 

Each model features a genuine blue sapphire cabochon set on the crown. Diamonds have exceptional brilliance with an extremely white colour (F-G colour and VVS clarity), which is an exclusive quality associated with Haute Joaillerie. The gold models of the Gladiateur Collector are adorned in 18-carat 5N red gold with satin-finish or polished details.
