  • Catalogue Essay

    Making its debut in the industry in 2010, Laurent Ferrier has quickly risen to the occasion of being one of the most established independent watchmakers in recent times. At the SIHH 2018, Laurent Ferrier released their 5th exclusive in-house cal. LF126.01 featuring an annual calendar function housed in a special School Piece case.

    Inspired by Mr. Ferrier’s first creations at Watchmaking School where he created a pocket watch characterized by the typical fluid lines and finish of the 19th century. Transcended into its modern interpretation, the Galet Annual Calendar School Piece features a 40mm diameter case released in stainless steel, pink gold and yellow gold. The present example in stainless steel displays a slate gray sector dial with small seconds at 6 o’clock and its annual calendar indicated through two windows for the day and month while the date is indicated via a red central hand. Practical and innovative the annual calendar is adjusted via a pusher positioned at the left side of the caseband at 10 o’clock. With every Laurent Ferrier timepiece, turning over the watch to its back reveals another element of excitement. Displayed through a sapphire caseback, the cal. LF126.01 is proudly displayed. Decorated with Geneva stripes and further coated with ruthenium, a power reserve indicator can be seen above the balance wheel.

    The present example from circa 2018 is complete with its full set of accessories and is further offered in excellent overall condition with minimal signs of use and wear.

  • Artist Biography

    Laurent Ferrier

    Swiss • 2008

    Introducing 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.

    Key models include the Galet Classic Tourbillon Double Spiral and the Galet Micro-Rotor, with stunning movement architectures designed after prestigious observatory chronometer movements of the twentieth century.
