THE new Carrera Lady Collection is every bit as beautiful and strong as the glamorous woman who helped design it: five-time Grand Slam tennis champion Maria Sharapova. Launching this October, the 12 ultra-feminine, chic & sporty new watches in the Collection are perfect night or day accessories, ideal for dressing up or down. The racing-circuit aesthetics that made the Carrera an icon of classic sporting style—faceted horns, wide-open dial and a thin bezel for optimum readability at the wheel—are still in place but reinterpreted in a more feminine way. The stunning details, in contrasting black and white, give new urban glamour. Like Maria Sharapova, their sexy, feminine appeal is at the forefront, but so too is their resilience and versatility. As hardworking and high-functioning as Maria—no matter what, no matter where—they are timeless classics that will never crack under pressure. The standout stars of the Carrera Lady Collection are:
* Carrera Lady 32MM Quartz – Replete with precious stones and shimmering high-polished finishings, this is a stunning piece of jewelry, available in special diamond editions (12 Top Wesseltons on the dial or 64 Top Wesseltons on the bezel), in all-steel or steel and solid rose gold (18K 5N), and with different dial choices, including silver with fine azurage detailing or gorgeous mother of pearl. * Carrera Lady 28MM calibre 9 automatic – After much demand a small and automatic Carrera Lady is now on offer, with a new Calibre 9 movement visible through the sapphire caseback, Like the quartz editions, the new Cal 9s are available in steel or steel and rose gold, different dial options and 12 diamonds on the dial or 56 diamonds on the fixed bezel. Each is an all-polished masterwork of Swiss engineering and craftsmanship. – SG
