July 15, 2016: With his fur crest, Karlito lands for the first time on FENDI timepieces, after making his debut on the FENDI Fall/Winter 2014-2015 fashion show. Now he is back with an exclusive Collection of watches, the Fendi My Way Karlito, fusing fur with precious stones and leather.
The Fendi My Way Karlito pays homage to Karl Lagerfeld. A caricature of Karl’s face with his distinctive sunglasses pervade the silver, white and black lacquered dial, which is set with 3 diamonds as indexes. A circle of steel studs decorates the sleek black steel bezel, while the FENDI signature stands at 12 o’clock.
The Glamy fur collar, made of FENDI Arctic fox in pink, white and black, is further personalized recalling the iconic Karl’s outfit with a black tie and a white collar in handcrafted leather. For a more subtle daytime watch, the fur collar can be removed, revealing the watch bracelet’s elegant lines and curves of the case inspired by the shape of the ancient Roman amphitheaters.
