Laurent Ferrier is a true master with an understated aesthetic and technical ingenuity that is rooted in the classic traditions of the past, but with a modern appeal.

With its round case with elegant curves, white grand feu enamel dial with Roman numerals and superbly facetted hands, the present Laurent Ferrier may seem like the epitome of a simple classic wristwatch; turn the watch over and you will be greeted with fireworks.

The incredible presence of the movement which perfectly fits the case is an eye opener, as are the impeccable finish and construction of the movement with superbly executed polished angles, elegant curves and delicate Geneva waves.

The tourbillon with its large cage and exquisite shaped bridge inspired by vintage pocket watches features a double hairspring balance, which consists of two hairsprings one atop the other but beating in opposite directions, one spring erasing the variations of the other permitting greater accuracy.

After over 37 years in product development at Patek Philippe, Laurent Ferrier decided to create his own brand, instead of taking advantage of a well-deserved retirement. 10 years on, he has succeeded in creating a brand whose elegance, sophistication and cutting edge movements are a timeless testament of the glorious age of watchmaking.
