Buys - Ferragamo's New Icon Watch

Ferragamo fans, here is one that will interest you.

Silk, colour and vintage prints from the world of Salvatore Ferragamo come together in 'Gancino Fancy', an icon-watch which pays tribute to the brand’s creative tradition in silk and women’s footwear.

The printed technical satin strap reproduces the TOES motif, a vintage pattern and emblem of Ferragamo scarves, and brings together some of the most important women’s footwear models in the history of the brand.

Ballerinas, sandals, open-toes, wedges, heels, decorations, plaiting, colours, buckles … this is a fascinating tour through the creative mind that transformed the concept of women’s shoes.

As watch shapes go, 'Gancino Fancy' has a sophisticated, linear design, with an ultra-flat case in the classic “Gancino” shape set directly into the strap. The time adjustment is on the case back. The dial is simply sumptuous, with its white mother of pearl and diamonds set in the hour markers. This is one where Italian design is balanced by Timex's Swiss-made technical perfection. Price starts from S$1450.
