the "new" independent who made my heart skip a beat

I happened upon the amazing creation of Laurent Ferrier who after 37 years at Patek decided to start a new adventure under his own name. To do so he teamed up with La Fabrique du Temps (Michel Navas and Enrico Babasini the NB of BNB fame who had launched ...
That is impressive.

Thanks for the news Alex. The tourbilon bridge is unusual, rounded on one arm and flat on the other side. - SJX
Great Find, Alex

Thanks for posting this. Lovely classicism in the look and in the finishing. Eager to learn more about these guys. Jeff

I am in awe - nothing superfluous, just chronometrie - thanks for posting this! The Straumann spiral must be of considerable benefit as testified by the growing list of companies that are adopting it: Glashuette Original, Hautlence, Laurent Ferrier ... an...

Double hairspring and tourbillion combination
By: dknespl : March 17th, 2010-01:50
I just wonder, what is the added benefit of tourbillion in case of double hairspring? If the center of mass of the complete balance stays always in the center - which is the purpouse of the double hairspring. Should the tourbillion compensate the changing...

looks superb and i'd love to get a closer look of it and learn more technical details. I think a light grey dial would be great in the white gold case.
Amazing to say the least!

Beautifully executed! The movement design is stunning! Definitely a welcome and exciting addition to the Independents world! I guess not surprisingly, lots of Patek genes I can spot though. Can't wait to hear/see more!
Beautiful!

...but why can't they make it smaller than 39mm? A bit disappointed.... Ken

at Patek seems quite apparent to me in the look which reminded me of the Patek repeater 5078 (?) which I happen to dream of. Thanks for sahring and I look forwward to you detailed write-up.

If anyone can find them... Most of the time, I do not appreciate tourbillon because it is just a hole in the dial. But a hidden one make it more appealing. And the finish and the style of it, really reminds Patek and Swiss Watchmaking in general. The Case...
Wow, stunning movement.

Congratulations on that creation. The watch looks fantastic. Thanks for sharing. Vte
A new independent...
By: patrick_y : March 16th, 2010-09:15
Looks interesting; well finished movement, tourbillon with "double spiral," and a reputation to match. Looking forward to learning more about this new independent.
Great find, Alex, thanks...

It is clearly a quality piece, and in terms of its design not an entirely different look to, say, the 'Roman Simplicity'. (That, by the way, is intended as a high compliment). Will you permit an observation, and a question? First, the words 'tourbillon do...
