Thanks for sharing Alex, cool pictures and really show off the attention to detail on their pieces. I am a bit surprised that the only watch has not been delivered yet... that was last September?! Cheers Andrew PS. Looking forward to hearing about the vis...
It seems incredible on pics

and I was really looking forward to seeing more "in the metal" pics instead of adds. When we know how it shows much better in real, I can imagine what it must be from your pictures. Thanks for the share Alex ;) Best, Mark
Wonderful!

I myself would love to make a factory visit, too! Looking forward to the final ones in the metal! Thanks for sharing, Alex! Ken

Beautiful mouvement by design and the finish WOW! admirable. When I see these little ateliers, old memories come rushing with nostalgia. Kind regard Francois
Level of craftsmanship?
By: Ken Lo : June 14th, 2012-19:52
Alex, I would appreciate to hear your opinion on how you would compare the craftsmanship of the Laurent Ferrier movement to say those of Philippe Dufour or Kari Voutilainen. I understand LF should at least be a notch above top mass watchmakers such as Pat...
Thanks Alex for your valuable opinion.

While there are hundreds of independents, only few would demonstrate great potential. In my eyes LF is one of them, with clever and innovative movement coupled with beautiful finish. Can't wait to check out the real Mirco Rotor in person!
After seeing that

Indeed a sore eye i have! But i would like them to remove the Rotor please! No matter how micro it is it is always a pain for me! Danke! Stephen
Thanks Alex for your lovely report :)

I always enjoy reading these kind of reports and marvel at the photographs. Hopefully you shall not have to wait much longer for your piece to arrive. And again I can than enjoy further photos and views :) The mini rotor looks superb and beautifully decor...
Great report! and a comparison

Knowing that the price is pretty much in the same range as the VC Chronometre Royal 1907 in RG - how do you compare those two fantastic watches? -remi
Hi remi not sure you can really compare the two, the VC cal 2460

is a traditional anchor escapement with full rotor and Geneva Seal made in maybe 1000 pieces per year and the LF is a micro rotor with a silicium escapement made in maybe 100 pieces per year and without Geneva Seal. If you really want to compare the two t...
Thank you Alex

for your reply. I definitely need to take some time in Geneva to feel both in the steel on the wrist, as despite their differences, I am equally attracted by both models... -remi
Wow,thank you Alex for the pics

and report....the micro rotor is so tempting! And I thought I didnt like autos.....this one is a superb watch,food for thoughts.... Mo
Thank you Alex

Hi Alex, Thank you for your subject. I've been quite impressed by them too and am happy to see them deliver now the first watches. Laurent Ferrier watches are real gems, so far from the excessive empty marketing watches issued by so many brands today. Her...
So Ferrier is the new darling, ay Alex?
By: Mostel : August 9th, 2012-15:29
Isn't is fascinating... Dufour, then Voutilainen, now Ferrier--'instant' darlings. I think it is funny how so many great Independents are out there... Yet it seems that if you make a traditional, very conservative, very classical watch, at a VERY high lev...
It is an excellent time keeper
By: cosincourt : August 25th, 2012-00:16
I have the micro rotor....WG with silver dial. A low key watch which sits v well on my wrist and keeps excellent time. Having owned some independents like fp journe I must say I particularly like this watch
