Catalogue Essay
- With modern aesthetics and technical ingenuity, Laurent Ferrier's creations are rooted in the classic traditions of the past, however revisited with a modern twist.
- With its round case featuring elegant curves and a delicately stepped bezel, its brushed dial with Breguet numerals and hands, and its onion crown, the present Laurent Ferrier truly takes it inspiration by the most classical watch designs, but the dial color and modern 40mm size make it a modern reinterpretation of those timeless designs.
- The movement however is the true star of the show: perfectly fitting the case, it impresses with its impeccable finish and construction, showcasing superbly executed polished angles, elegant bridges and delicate Geneva waves. The double impulse balance wheel is a remarkable interpretation of an A.L. Breguet design and consists in the escape lever being placed between two escape wheels (while normal movements employ one escape wheel only).

Laurent Ferrier
Swiss | 2008Introducing its first watch to critical acclaim in 2010, Laurent Ferrier was founded by long-time Swiss watchmaker of the same name. Following a 37-year career at Patek Philippe, Ferrier founded the brand in 2008, creating timeless wristwatches inspired by the finest wrist and pocket watches from the nineteenth and twentieth centuries. Revered by collectors around the world for their genuine innovations and understated elegance, the brand specializes in exquisitely hand-finished movements featuring state-of-the-art watchmaking technology. Galet, or "pebble" in French, describes the signature feature of the brand's cases used across its collection — with soft curves, domed crystals and rounded edges reminding one of a smooth pebble.
