Finally! Some (lousy) shots of the new Laurent Ferrier time only to be unveiled on Wed

Mar 21, 2011,03:16 AM
 

OK so after the poor scan of the caliber here are some poor scans of the finished watchsmile The case will be 40mm and thinner than the tourbillon. Some small changes have also been made to the case.

The watch will be available in either silver or slate grey in white or rose gold.

The caliber is still the prototype and lacking the Geneva waves and finish on the rotor.

Thanks for the photos. The slate grey dial looks very nice with the rose gold case. Regards, Richard.

Well thanks anyways

It is really a lovely watch. I prefer lousy shots rather than no shots at all. Regards, George

What lousy shots?

They're not lousy at all! Thanks for showing us! Interesting watch from Laurent. Movement really is intriguing.

Any first impressions on 'wearability' - heft, comfort etc? Cheers, pplater.

its smaller and thinner than the tourbillon which I find extremely

comfortable and pleasant to wear. But then again I tried it on for about a minute. Will do so again once the movement is finished. Will try to take better scans then.

Very dinstinguished dress watch

I appreciate LF's classical style, in both the tourbillon and now this simple watch (though not with a simple escapement). Bill

It looks very intersting

The movemnt looks fantastic. I think its great that he chose to go a bit against the stream of the independants and make an Automatic rather than a simple handwound- MIcrorotor, even - a nice Idea and it looks superb. I love his case design. It looks very... 

Wow!

Very nice...

Looks nice, but

from the quick pics does not get me nearly as excited as some other 3 hand watches. Somehow the dial aesthetics, baton/toothpick markers, hands, more "matte" dial don't fall into place nearly as well together as the elements of the tourbillon dial. I coul... 

Thanks for these, Alex!

Really appreciate these early images. I really like the innovation in the micro-rotor movement. The cost for this is that the case (at least in these initial shots) looks perhaps a bit thick for the rounded shape (although not on the level of the cheesebu... 

This watch is amazing!!

Even though I prefer modern designed watches to classical ones, I must say I love this one. The caliber is also really original and innovative in it's layout . Kind Regards, TDo

Thanks Alex but I would have prefered a more daring dial.

The dial is a bit boring IMHO... and too similar to the Tourbillon watch. Thanks a lot for the pictures. Fx

Very nice indeed,

Thanks for sharing.

Nice watch. I like it.

An elegant dressy piece with a gorgeous and stunning movement. Would change the crown, I don't like it. It does not match the rest of the watch, to me. Thanks. Vte
