Salvatore Ferragamo Idillio Collection Debuts at Baselworld 2012

by John Sealander  

When Salvatore Ferragamo Timepieces brought their latest collection to Baselworld 2012, the results were poetry in motion.

Salvatore Ferragamo WatchesIdillio, the latest collection of Salvatore Ferragamo Timepieces, made its debut at Baselworld 2012. The famous Florentine fashion house describes these fabulous new timepieces as “poetical visions of the passage of time.” Watch aficionados and fashionistas alike would simply describe these watches as magnificent.

According to Paul Ziff, President of Ferragamo Timepieces for the US and Caribbean, buyers and press alike were very enthusiastic in their praise of the new Idillio Collection. Mr. Ziff stated, “We expect it to perform very well, especially in the 42mm versions which make a bold statement suitable for both men and women. The fact that it is available in either steel bracelet or strap models makes this a collection with wide appeal and versatility.”

With a dial strewn with an artful constellation of diamonds and precious stones, a Idillio timepiece is unique. The elegant design evokes a night sky glowing with stars, or perhaps the Milky Way. As a tribute to Salvatore Ferragamo’s passion for precious stones, Idillio timepieces are available in several styles, including those featuring brightly cut diamonds, blue and yellow sapphires, rubies, purple sapphires and tsavorites. Some models are equipped with full pavé blue sapphire dial faces, while others feature an elegantly simple constellation of brilliant cut diamonds. These spectacular 34mm timepieces are available in stainless steel or IP gold cases and are equipped with a genuine alligator strap and a ring of diamonds set in the bezel.

Idillio timepieces are powered by either an automatic Swiss mechanical caliber or precision quartz movement. The exclusive automatic model, limited to only 100 individually numbered pieces, is fitted with a custom crocodile-print patent leather wrist strap in Ferragamo’s signature red color.

Salvatore Ferragamo’s attention to detail is legendary, and you can see the results of these efforts on every Idillio watch. Precious black onyx cabochons are set on both the crown and lugs. The Maison’s signature double “gancino” serves as a stylish counterweight on the second hand and a scratch resistant sapphire crystal protects the dial.

Celebrities once journeyed to Florence to experience Salvatore Ferragamo’s unique brand of luxury and style. Today, Swiss made Ferragamo timepieces like the Idillio are available in 50 countries worldwide through authorized Ferragamo dealers.

by John Sealander  

Salvatore Ferragamo restyled their popular F-80 Collection for the 21st century at Baselworld 2012.

Salvatore Ferragamo WatchesThe celebrated Maison Ferragamo fashion house recently introduced a spectacular update to their best selling F-80 line at Baselworld 2012. These new additions to the brand’s iconic sports-luxury line feature bold new colors and an innovative use of new materials.

A dramatically restyled F-80 Carbon Fiber GMT model was unveiled at Baselworld with eight screws on the bezel securing a high-tech carbon fiber case. The new timepiece features 24-hour indications on the chapter ring along with a small seconds counter at 2 o’clock. The spectacular orange and black dial features a special day/night indicator and an extra large date window at 6 o’clock.

This high-tech carbon fiber timepiece is perfect for world travelers who need easy access to several time zones. Like all the new F-80 models, the Ferragamo F-80 Carbon Fiber is powered by a precision quartz movement and water resistant to 330 feet. An anti-reflective, scratch-resistant sapphire crystal protects the strikingly graphic dial. The new F-80 Carbon Fiber is also available in two all black versions with titanium and yellow detailing.

A new edition of the popular F-80 Chronograph was also introduced at Baselworld 2012 featuring vivid yellow, blue or fuscia caoutchouc straps that are color coordinated with the hands of the watch. These exciting new 44mm quartz chronographs feature a black IP titanium case and black ceramic bezel.

Like all Salvatore Ferragamo products, the attention to detail in these timepieces is impressive. The second hand on both new watches features the iconic Ferragamo Gancino symbol as a counterweight and the dial itself features the same precise parallel lines found on the strap.

The creative use of color and the artfully articulated dial are pure Ferragamo. These fabulous timepieces make an extraordinary statement on your wrist and are a fitting tribute to the world famous fashion house that got its start making exquisite hand made shoes. Historically, people traveled all the way to Florence to experience the quality that made Salvatore Ferragamo famous. Now Swiss-made Ferragamo timepieces like the F-80 are available in 50 countries worldwide.
