  • Catalogue Essay

    Acclaimed for its minimalistic refined beauty, the Laurent Ferrier Classic Origin Série Atelier in forest green was launched in celebration of the maison’s 10th anniversary in a limited edition of only 30 pieces. More modern on use of colour and material, the case is constructed with lightweight Grade 5 titanium for the first time. The signature white gold Assegai-shaped hands serenely float above the gradient opaline dial that gracefully transitions from centre and out, while the slate grey hour track marked with yellow accents punctuates the dial with an extra sporty appeal. Housed inside the pebble-shaped case is the calibre LF 116.01 finished in a minimalistic aesthetic with its softly spoken micro-blasted black rhodium finish, yet still encompasses the impeccable precision and attention to details. The movement is equipped with a free-sprung balance and a Breguet overcoil. This latter combination enhances precision, mitigates positional errors and improves isochronism. The firm's beloved long-blade ratchet system is another highlight of this movement. This system, emblematic of the maison, offers a very pleasant feeling when the watch is wound as well as an inimitable sound, characteristic of the most demanding timepieces. Preserved in pristine condition and practically unworn, the present Série Atelier is numbered 29 of the limited series and is accompanied by its full accessories. Highly collectible and a tasteful celebration of excellence, the present timepiece will certainly impress the esteemed standards of watch connoisseurs.

  • 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.
