The new EBEL Wave Lady

The new EBEL Wave Lady flawlessly captures contemporary fashion with a sexy double-wrap

EBEL’s iconic wave-link bracelet has spun a new modern twist in a contemporary double wrap interpretation. The DNA of this emblematic design, first introduced in 1977, is still instantly recognizable in this newly transformed double-wrap edition. Classic, contemporary and fashionably versatile, the new Wave Lady appeals to her playful side yet with an alluring femininity imparted by its fluid design and harmonious lines.

Proportions and silhouettes for Autumn-Winter 2013 are heavily influenced by couture shapes – cocoon sleeves, nipped-in-waists, full skirts and oversized coats – that have been updated using austere, minimalistic and structural forms. For a watch to stand out against this fashion landscape, it must have a strong presence, and the double-wrap strap of the new EBEL Wave Lady gives it striking definition that adheres to the sleek, structural design dictates of the season.

The EBEL Wave Lady on a double-wrapped band of cool brushed stainless steel links contrasted by polished steel waves or the warmth of red gold PVD-finished waves creates a soft, liquid impression that is heightened by a glistening white mother-of-pearl dial. The innate glamour of this wrist-wrapping metal design facilitates an easy transition from day to evening wear.

The sinuous calf leather strap version is inherently feminine. Its curved lines and tactile quality conjure images of a serpent coiled seductively around the wearer’s wrist – as flattering to the female form as a sensuous wrap dress. Also featuring an elegant mother-of-pearl dial, this retro-chic version is offered in stainless steel on a grey strap, stainless steel & 18K red gold with an off-white strap, or with an 18K rose gold case complemented by a brown strap. Finished with a standard buckle, the EBEL Wave Lady double-wrap calfskin strap watch is the perfect accessory to set-off crisp tailoring or the contemporary new cut of a classic white shirt.

Each of the five styles is equipped with a fine Swiss quartz movement and anti-reflective sapphire crystal. All are water-resistant to 50 meters. Their mother-of-pearl dials are graced by slender rhodium-plated or gold-plated diamond-polished hands, applied EBEL symbol at 12:00 and Arabic numeral at 6:00.

EBEL’s legendary Wave Lady is a classic with universal appeal, newly alluring and feminine with a sexy double-wrap.
