Gallet square for me

As an owner myself I got drawn in by the unusual case with an ice blue dial. For me the perfect combo.

Anyway you cannot go wrong  with either.
And there is still the backside😊

Laurent Ferrier Classic Origin or Square ?

 
 By: christianch : December 12th, 2022-20:59
I had the chance to try both today. What do you think ? The Classic Origin is manual, at a lower price point but the movement finish seems very "modern". I know that the forum has some owners of both (perhaps more of the classic origin) what made you go f...  

thank you!

Thank you, 1 vote for the square :)

I also think is a great fit but the dial/strap combo of the blue is very tempting!

thank you for the clarification, as it is with many independents is not always possible to choose a specific model :)

I understand. Am the same! Good luck!

I have always wanted a LF ever since I saw the tourbillon release 10 or so years ago (that's out of my budget). I love the dramatic finishing, the style, attention to detail. Last year I purchased a LF origin in the opaline dial. I loved it. I love the ca... 

Thank you for sharing your very interesting impressions! I am surpised as for me the LF origin seems to wear very small

 
 By: christianch : December 12th, 2022-22:58
may be like at 37-38mm ..possibly because of the rounder case ? I don't have a massive wrist but then again I am used to wear also bigger watches. It was very valuable to hear from a past owner what you liked about the watch!

I'd say it doesn't wear small

 
 By: TeutonicCarFan : December 13th, 2022-00:54
But the round cade definitely adds to a pleasant wear. I was looking for more like your C.B. (I think you have) at 39x8 ... that would be perfect for me. You really can't go wrong here if size works. Between those two I'd get the autumn micro rotor.

thanks for your advice!

may be didn't spend a lot of time with the classic but my first impression was that it wears small on my wrist but then again I lately wear bigger watches so might be why!

I can imagine responding the same way

Pretty much all LFs seem to me to be a LITTLE larger than their design calls for.

Beautiful pair!

That CEP piece is a stunner. Last fall I called the VC boutiques and every AD in the USA to try and get the grey dial platinum. Sadly was still on the website but the ref was out of production at that point. That is when I bought the LF, which I think my ... 

Square for me...

...but I like shaped watches...

It would be interesting to see the square shape with the blue / darker dial…

I like both, but I am not sure about sure about the light brown dial here…

thank you !! I always admired the pics of yours...

 
 By: christianch : December 12th, 2022-23:38
I also like the square but ..maybe gives me some PAM vibes not sure if is good for an independent 😄

Square.

 By: psfparis : December 14th, 2022-14:03
my choice is biaised as i own an origin ;-) and one of the pleassure of the watch is just rewind it (so smouth) and for a square watch i think i would go for the Ressssence type 1 squared
