As tennis season swings into full gear, Fred makes an ace return to Roland-Garros. A new iteration of its iconic Force 10 bracelet continues its tradition of matching athletic spirit with refined elegance. Naturally, the Force 10 Roland-Garros capsule celebrates both the energy of the sport and artistry of jewellery.
Just in time for the only Grand Slam contested on clay, the collection draws from the energy of clay-court tennis, as well as the electric atmosphere at the French Open. Further inspired by the tournament’s values of excellence and resilience, the range is designed as a symbolic five-set match.
The Force 10 Roland-Garros capsule features five genderless, interchangeable variations of the bracelet. Each reinterprets Fred’s casual-chic style with the signature codes of Roland-Garros. The highlight of the collection sees three yellow gold buckles that elevate the Force 10 to new heights.
The large-format buckle dazzles with a semi-pavé setting of mandarin garnets. This nod to the rich terracotta tones of clay also features a delicately engraved tennis ball motif. There’s also a medium model with white and yellow diamonds. Sunlit-coloured stones, evoking the sun-drenched hues of high summer on court, accompany this rendition.
Cables, too, get a refresh in an energised palette that captures the spirit of the competition. Look forward to a limited-edition Force 10 Roland-Garros cable combining terracotta and crisp white with the neon yellow of a tennis ball. It complements a medium version in a single terracotta corderie, grounding the bracelet in the unmistakable hues of Roland-Garros.
