Introduced in 2013, the Classic Traveller is an innovative dual time watch dedicated to globetrotters. Now, Laurent Ferrier presents a new edition of this model, the Classic Traveller Meteorite.

This latest model is the brand’s second limited edition exclusive to the North American continent: the Classic Traveller Meteorite.

Designed for the modern adventurer, this wristwatch features a dark blue dial made from real meteorite, as well as a refined calibre with a micro-rotor and a natural escapement.

Each dial is unique and comes from a particular and completely different fragment of a meteorite called Muonionalusta. This meteorite struck northern Scandinavia, west of the border between Sweden and Finland, around 1 million years BCE. It is one of the oldest meteorites to have struck the Earth.

Originally anthracite in colour, the blue is obtained by immersing the meteorite fragment in a galvanic bath to give a deep metallic blue. A slightly raised white silkscreen print adorns the blue dial and enhances the natural motifs of the meteorite. The hours are indicated by white printed baton-Roman numerals.

Similarly, both the markers of the small seconds, located at 6 o’clock, and the logo, are white printed. The famous Assegai-shaped hour and minute hands and the baton seconds hand are in 18K white gold and are also white coated.

Positioned at the left side of the 41mm diameter grade 5 titanium case, two perfectly symmetrical oblong push-pieces are used to adjust the local time, which is indicated by the central hand. When moving to another time zone, this central hour hand can be moved forwards or backwards, hour by hour, simply by pressing. The upper push-piece moves the hand forwards by one hour while the lower pusher does the opposite, all without moving the minute hand.

In addition to this rapid local time adjustment, the date, indicated in the aperture at 3 o’clock, automatically changes when the hand passes midnight, adapting to journeys between different time zones without any additional operations. The aperture at 9 o’clock retains the reference time (home time). Its 24-hour display ensures a clear distinction between day and night.

The LAURENT FERRIER Classic Traveller Meteorite is powered by the LF 230.02 self-winding calibre, which incorporates the second time-zone setting mechanism as well as the date. It has a pawl-fitted micro-rotor unidirectional self-winding system, backed by a double direct-impulse natural escapement. This escapement is especially unique in that it sends two impulses directly to the balance with each oscillation, giving it excellent efficiency and a 72-hour power reserve.

The movement is decorated and finished in the spirit of fine watchmaking, combining delicacy and artisanal know-how. The sapphire crystal case back of the Classic Traveller Meteorite offers a glimpse of the finesse of this work.

In addition to bridges decorated with Côtes de Genève and a circular-grained mainplate, the flanks are chamfered by hand and the screw heads are polished.

The Laurent Ferrier Classic Traveller Meteorite is limited to 15 pieces.

The “Série Atelier “Magnetic Green is a new version of the Classic Traveller with dual time zones. It comes in a polished titanium case with a gracefully sunburst magnetic-green dial and a forest-green nubuck strap.

Its gentle and graceful green dial stands out with its dual texture, with the central sunburst is surrounded by a soft circular satin-finish.

The dial features 18ct white gold drop-shaped applied hour-markers. These fine and elongated indexes are soft, rounded and perfectly polished. There are two apertures: one at 3 o’clock for the date and one at 9 o’clock for indicating the remote time.

Instead of elongated indexes, the dial has round-headed studs in polished gold at 3 and 9 o’clock. The small seconds at 6 o’clock features transferred Arabic numerals in slate grey. The loops and curls of its 1920s-style cursive typeface are set inside an elaborate grid where the track and ten-second sections are marked on a barely perceptible snailed surface.

The extremely slender, baton-shaped small seconds hand is balanced by a slightly domed counterweight in a curved shape. Anchored in the centre, the hour and minute hands adopt LAURENT FERRIER’s favourite Assegai shape.

The 41mm diameter case made of grade 5 titanium offers the softness, domes and curves typical of the “pebble-shaped” cases created by LAURENT FERRIER from the very beginning. Its sides, bezel and lugs are polished, offering a luxurious finish.

The Classic Traveller joined the LAURENT FERRIER catalogue in 2013. Previously, the brand offered a tourbillon with a double balance-spring or a micro-rotor with a natural escapement, and launched this new GMT watch.

Rather than the traditional second hour hand in the centre, or off-centre in a dedicated sub-dial, LAURENT FERRIER opted for a remote time display on a disc, visible through an aperture at 9 o’clock.

The hour hand located in the centre represents local time, the one that is read first, at all times of day. It is also the one that is changed when travelling across time zones, by means of the corrector push-buttons, which cause the hand to jump from hour to hour depending on the distance travelled, forwards or backwards.

The time displayed in the window at 9 o’clock is the distant time, or Home Time. It remains constant regardless of travel and is therefore controlled directly by the crown.

The watch houses the LF230.02 calibre, a self-winding movement with a micro-rotor and natural escapement, designed in collaboration with La Fabrique du Temps.

It also benefits from the highest level of finishes. The finely circular-grained mainplate, the hand-bevelled bridges decorated with a horizontal rhodium-plated satin finish, the mirror-polished openwork anchor bridge revealing exceptional hand-crafted interior angles, the mirror-polished and hand-bevelled rotor bridge, and the bevelled and guilloché rotor are just some of the details that bring texture, brilliance and distinction to the watch and make it a traditional timepiece of the highest quality.

The Classic Traveller offers an unobstructed view of the micro-rotor with its unidirectional 18ct gold oscillating weight, thanks to its sapphire crystal case-back.

This escapement with a double direct impulse to the balance wheel, which is as rare as it is complex to produce. In this system, two escapement wheels operate alternately and transmit their energy directly to the balance wheel. This is called direct impulse to the balance wheel because it is not the anchor that gives the impulse to the balance wheel as in the classic Swiss anchor escapements, but the escape wheel, which is much more efficient in terms of performance.

As the escapement wheel can only rotate in one direction, a second escapement wheel completes the set to send the impulses to the balance wheel alternately. They interact with an anchor in silicon, an ultra-light, self-lubricating material.

The gain in efficiency thus achieved is directly reflected in its autonomy, as the Classic Traveller offers a substantial power reserve of more than 72 hours.

The LAURENT FERRIER “Série Atelier” was introduced in 2020 with the Classic Origin Green. It was continued in 2021 with a blue and orange version of the École Annual Calendar. Unlike most LAURENT FERRIER watches, the pieces from this series are produced in very limited quantities and sold exclusively on the brand’s website.

Priced at 62,000 CHF (excluding tax), the Classic Traveller “Série Atelier” Magnetic Green is produced in a limited edition of 15 pieces.

This watch comes with a matching forest green nubuck strap.

LAURENT FERRIER has launched an intense blue version of one of its emblematic models, the Classic Origin.

Initially developed to pay tribute to all the aesthetic codes created by Mr Laurent Ferrier himself in 2010, the Classic Origin has succeeded in becoming an icon of the LF collection.

After the Classic Micro-Rotor, the Classic Traveller, the Square Micro-Rotor, the École Annual Calendar, the Grand Sport Tourbillon and the recent Sport Auto, it seemed self-evident to adorn the Classic Origin with a deep blue dial.

The carefully selected intensity of blue on this new dial, along with the graphic lines borrowed from the Annual Calendar, give this latest reference a very modern and dynamic feel, similar to the previous Classic Origin Opaline and Classic Origin Green.

The opaline dial presents a gradation of blues that transition from a lighter shade in the centre to deepest blue around the periphery. The discreet powdery-grey hour track is punctuated by sky-blue numerals.

The composition is finished off with a powdery-grey centre cross and four of the brand’s iconic drop-shaped indices. A snailed seconds counter at 6 o’clock features subtle sky-blue markers. Sweeping over the dial are LF’s famous Assegai-shaped hour and minute hands, in 18-carat white gold.

This intense blue dial sits within the brand’s timeless Classic case. The Grade 5 titanium 40 mm diameter case features the same harmonious contours as the very first LAURENT FERRIER creation, the Classic Tourbillon.

It also features the same emblematic ball-shaped crown whose gracious architecture is inspired by 19th-century pocket watches. Its original proportions and plump shape make winding a true pleasure.

The manual-winding Calibre LF116.01 has been crafted with the greatest refinement. Visible through the sapphire case back, it incorporates a screw balance and Breguet-type overcoil balance-spring. This combination enhances precision and mitigates positional timekeeping errors while improving isochronism.

The brand’s famous long-blade ratchet system is another highlight of the movement. This polished, hand-crafted ratchet is emblematic of the LAURENT FERRIER brand, offering an inimitable sound during winding that is characteristic of the most demanding watches.

When the Classic Origin Blue is perfectly wound, it can operate independently for 80 hours thanks to its excellent power reserve.

While the Calibre LF116.01 may be more minimalist than some of the brand’s complication movements, it offers the same high-end finishes as every other LAURENT FERRIER creation.

The bridges are microbeaded, with black rhodium finish and entirely hand-polished edges. Each screw-head is mirror polished and the escapement bridge is adorned with a hand-made interior angle, reflecting the workshop’s meticulous attention to detail.

The Classic Origin Blue is fitted with a midnight blue Nubuck strap with tone-on-tone Alcantara lining.

In February 2022, independent luxury Swiss watch brand LAURENT FERRIER introduced Sport Auto, a new timepiece inspired by automobile racing.

Made of grade 5 titanium, the case of Sport Auto watch is both sporty and curvaceous. The 41.5 mm diameter case is topped with a contrasting bezel with softer lines, an evolution of the brand’s Square case, to the tonneau-shaped middle case with a very pronounced look.

The finishes are different on each of its faces. The bezel displays a circular satin-brushed finish that contrasts with its mirror-polished flanks as well as with the vertical satin-brushed middle case.

The emblematic ball-shaped crown is, for the first time, screwed down and elegantly integrated into the middle case. Combined with water resistance tested to 120 metres, the crown guarantees maximum comfort for daily wear.

The domed sapphire crystal glass offers a clear view of a dial bringing together all the LAURENT FERRIER aesthetic codes. Its different shades of blue, combined with its opaline finish, give it a soft and powdery line. White gold drop-shaped hands and indexes illuminated by green Super-LumiNova add tone to the dial. At 6 o’clock, a snailed small seconds dial is enlivened with powdered grey markers.

The grey minute track enhances the dial readability. The logo and the central cross also match this colour. A beveled date window underlined with a fine coordinated transfer is delicately positioned at 3 o’clock. As with the Tourbillon models, the “Sport Auto” movement indication, tone-on-tone transferred between the central hands and the small seconds, completes the composition.

This timepiece houses the Maison’s second automatic calendar movement, the LF270.01 calibre. As a subtle blend of a tribute to the micro-rotor with natural escapement and a more assertive and sporty style, this movement is entirely designed, decorated, assembled and adjusted in the LAURENT FERRIER workshops.

Less sensitive than the natural escapement and more suited to sports watches, this is a Swiss lever escapement using an automatic winding system with an off-centre micro-rotor. For non-negligible benefits in terms of resistance to shocks and vibrations, this movement is fitted with a unidirectional ball bearing replacing the traditional ratchet system.

Like a balance wheel, the micro-rotor is equipped with a 950 platinum oscillating weight, placed directly between the plate and the bridge to ensure ideal stability and maximised winding power. Once fully wound, this calibre offers a power reserve of more than 72 hours.

A sapphire crystal case back, fixed with specific screws, similar to those used in motorsport, reveals a movement with impeccable finishes and whose architecture takes up the main codes of the brand’s first automatic movement.

The bridge of the micro-rotor movement is meticulously decorated by hand: the angles are softened then finished with gentian wood or diamantine, while the surface is mirror-polished. In addition, the movement features several internal angles, multiple zinc-polished surfaces and numerous satin-finishing and circular-graining, all executed by hand in the LAURENT FERRIER workshops.

For the first time in the history of LAURENT FERRIER, the micro-rotor is made here in 950 platinum to achieve a more contemporary contrast with the ruthenium-coated bridges featuring a horizontal satin finish.

The LAURENT FERRIER Sport Auto watch comes fitted on a fully integrated metal bracelet has been added to this case, also in grade 5titanium, which takes up the vertical satin finish enhanced by polished flanks. The inclined sides of the centre links are also polished.

Inspired by the designs of the 1930s, LAURENT FERRIER presents two Square Micro-Rotor Retro wristwatches that combine vintage Art Deco influences with modern styling.

Combined with a modern, architectural hour circle, the Arabic numerals on a finely finished dial provide a casual feel while offering exceptional readability. This new Square Micro-Rotor Retro’s 1930s influence can also be seen in the use of metallic colours.

The first Square Micro-Rotor Retro version has a steel case paired with a delicate silvery white dial, whose opaline centre contrasts with a subtle circular satin-brushed exterior. Its decaled charcoal grey hour circle matches the numbers and small second markers, beautifully enhances the whole timepiece.

The second variant offers a charcoal grey opaline dial with the same refined finishes, nestled in an 18K red gold case. The decals, on the other hand, are made in matte white to ensure optimum legibility.

The brand’s iconic Square case demonstrates its Art Deco character through its contours, symmetry, aerodynamic curves and complex lines. With its 41 x 41 mm case, it also embodies the Swiss Maison’s streamlined aesthetic.

The Square case of these new watches is bolder than the brand’s Classic case. It features a ball-shaped winding crown for easy handling. The detailed design down to the hooked case back allows you to admire the movement, visible at the back, free from all distraction. The watchmaker can access the movement via the olivette. Its water resistance is guaranteed to a depth of 30 metres.

These two new additions are equipped with the calibre FBN 229.01, a self-winding movement with a natural escapement Micro-Rotor. This escapement stands out with a unidirectional pawl-fitted micro-rotor and a three-day power reserve. This exclusive movement is designed, assembled and adjusted in the LAURENT FERRIER workshops.

The calibre FBN 229.01 is fitted with a silicon escapement featuring a double direct impulse on the balance. This innovation, developed by LAURENT FERRIER, enables the balance to be impelled twice per oscillation, which requires two escape wheels and an appropriately shaped lever.

This modern construction, combined with the use of cutting-edge materials, maximises energy efficiency. This escapement’s excellent performance thus guarantees the balance’s high amplitude. The mechanical force required to wind the barrel spring is reduced, thereby optimising winding of the movement.

Swiss luxury watch brand Laurent Ferrier presents a Californian dial version of its iconic model, the Square Micro-Rotor.

The new limited edition watch features a distinctive dial configuration known as Californian, which has the particularity of mixing Roman numerals in its upper part with Arabic numerals in the lower part.

In addition to the mix of Roman and Arabic numerals, this new dial features a grey powdered decal at 12, 3 and 9 o’clock, reproducing the outlines of the brand’s famous drop-shaped hour markers, filled with white SuperLuminova. The blue dial is enhanced by a sunburst finish and overlaid with a white railway line.

The watch has two 18k white gold stamped “arrow” shaped hands filled with white SuperLuminova for the hours and minutes. The snailed seconds dial is punctuated with a fine white decal and topped by a red-painted white gold “baton” shaped hand.

The bold square case is made of stainless steel, and measures 41mm x 41mm. This case is fitted with the ball-shaped winding crown, a true LAURENT FERRIER signature. As in most of the collection, the back is hooked. The movement is accessible to the watchmaker through the olivette. Its water-resistance is guaranteed to a depth of 30 meters.

The self-winding FBN 229.01 calibre of the watch is equipped with a unidirectional pawl-fitted micro-rotor. It offers three-day power reserve. This is the first exclusive in-house movement developed, assembled and adjusted in the Laurent Ferrier workshops. It is fitted with a silicon escapement featuring a double direct impulse on the balance.

This technology developed by Laurent Ferrier enables the balance to be impelled twice per oscillation, a principle that requires two escape-wheels and an appropriately shaped lever. This innovative construction, combined with the use of cutting-edge materials, maximises energy efficiency, thereby guaranteeing a high amplitude of the balance. This in turn reduces the amount of mechanical force required to wind the mainspring and optimises winding.

For the finishes, LAURENT FERRIER draws its inspiration from centuries-old watchmaking traditions, such as Satin-finishing, polishing, chamfering, and circular graining. The Côtes de Genève motif is a reminder of the Canton and the city of Laurent Ferrier’s birth.

The specific bevelling applied to the engaging angles is a discipline to which LAURENT FERRIER devotes particular care. Although many manufacturers have abandoned this entirely manual technique, it remains the norm at LAURENT FERRIER workshop, where two specific movement decorators are responsible for this task, among other decorations.

This engraved “California Dreamin” serie is exclusively dedicated to the US market. Limited to 11 pieces only, they are each numbered from 0 to 10/10.

Launched as the “Série Atelier” in a limited-edition of 30 examples, the Classic Origin Green is a new interpretation of the LAURENT FERRIER Classic Origin watch.

This model is housed in a 40mm diameter pebble-shaped case made of Grade 5 titanium. It encompasses the same smooth curving lines as the inaugural model of the brand, the Classic Tourbillon double spiral. Its characteristic uncluttered dial features Assegai-shaped hour and minute hands.

The “Série Atelier” features a gradient opaline dial that transitions from translucent green at its center to a deep forest green near its periphery. The slate grey hour track is punctuated with sharp yellow numerals which give the whole piece a sporty spirit.

A small-seconds display with a sharp yellow outer circle, featuring a baton-shaped hand, is located above 6 o’clock. All three hands are formed of 18-carat white gold. The watch is equipped with the emblematic ‘Ball-shaped’ crown, which also provides quick and effortless adjustment of the time.

The hand-wound Calibre LF116.01, visible via the exhibition case back, is refined to the highest order. 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 LAURENT FERRIER, offers a very pleasant feeling when the watch is wound as well as an inimitable sound, characteristic of the most demanding timepieces. The Classic Origin Green has a power reserve of 80 hours.

One of the simplest movements from LAURENT FERRIER, the Calibre LF116.01 still encompasses the high-end finishing like all timepieces from the manufacture. The bridges are decorated with a micro-blasted, black rhodium finish and hand-polished edges. Each screw head is mirror-polished and the escapement bridge is gracefully adorned with a hand-made interior angle, consistent with the Maison’s fastidious attention to detail.

The LAURENT FERRIER Classic Origin Green watch is fitted on a honey Timberland leather strap, lined with Alcantara and paired with a titanium pin buckle. The “Série Atelier” is a limited edition of 30 pieces.

Independent Swiss luxury watchmaker LAURENT FERRIER celebrates its 10th anniversary by releasing the Classic Origin Opaline, featuring in a sporty Grade 5 titanium case.

In 2010, the Galet Classic won an award at the prestigious Geneva Watchmaking Grand Prix (GPHG).This watch was endowed with a tourbillon and a double balance spring as well as a classic, notably smooth, round case.

The LAURENT FERRIER Classic Origin Opaline watch proudly reflects the horology excellence of the Maison, which is celebrating its 10th anniversary this year.

This new watch features a classic-shaped case and a timeless dial that offers perfectly legibility. Assegai-shaped hour and minute hands calmly float above a silvery-white opaline dial.

The slate grey dial’s hour track is marked with burgundy-coloured numerals which prove highly legible, add a bit of sportiness, but remain tastefully understated. A small snailed seconds display, featuring baton-shaped hand is located above 6 o’ clock. All three hands are formed of 18-carat white gold.

Made of Grade 5 Titanium, its 40mm diameter case is strong, lightweight, corrosion-resistant and hypoallergenic. The Classic Origin Opaline watch is equipped with the Maison’s iconic ‘Ball-shaped’ crown, renowned for its ability to provide ultimate winding experience and quick time-setting.

Powering this timepiece, the hand-wound Calibre LF116.01 is visible via the exhibition case. This extremely refined mechanical movement is equipped with a free-sprung balance and a Breguet overcoil for enhancing precision. It mitigates positional errors and improves isochronism.

Rated for a power reserve of 80 hours, the movement is also equipped with the much-admired long-blade ratchet system. The Calibre LF116.01 also features haute-horlogerie finishing and decorations characteristic to LAURENT FERRIER.

With the rectangular Bridge One, Laurent Ferrier marks the launch of a new caliber especially shaped for this new design but also marks the beginning of a new line inspired by the “Passerelle de l’Ile”, a very famous bridge in Geneva.

The middle case of the watch is inspired by the pure line of the bridge, hence its name Bridge One. For this industrial inspiration, Laurent Ferrier chose stainless steel as a material. The non-straight shape of the lugs are part of the magic of this new case, providing an interesting perspective on the overall timepiece but also offering a perfect fit on the wrist and consequently a great sense of comfort.

The traditional ball-shaped winding-crown facilitates handling. The originality of this exceptional case lies in the spherical sapphire. The sapphire is cut as if it was extracted from a dig crystal ball. Additionally, the smoked effect due to the hue on the glass provides a sense of uniqueness to the piece. Its water resistance is guaranteed to a depth of 30 metres.

Laurent Ferrier presented two special dials at SIHH 2019: An enamel Grand Feu white dial and slate grey enamelled roman numerals without sub-dial for a maximum readability, and a grained slate grey dial with a raised XII marker at 12 o’clock and a sub-dial for a textured feeling.

The 2 versions are swept over by “assegai-shaped” hour and minute hands, and a baton type seconds hand for the slate grey dial. The Bridge One is fitted with Honey Timberland leather or Honey alligator strap with Alcantara lining, secured by a pin buckle or a double blade folding clasp.

For this project, a new caliber needed to be designed to be housed in a rectangular case. The LF107.01 manual winding movement with a Swiss lever escapement offers an 80 hours power reserve. The bridges are beautifully shaped and the level of finishing is consistent with all the other calibers of Laurent Ferrier’s collection.

The sapphire crystal case-back of the Bridge One provides a fine view on the finesse of the finishing. In addition to the Côtes de Genève motif with a ruthenium treatment adorning the bridges and the circular-graining of the main-plate, the sides and interior angles are manually chamfered and the screw heads are polished.

For 2018, Laurent Ferrier launches the Régulateur in a 5N red gold square case with an opaline black nickel dial.

The combination of red and black is cherished by Laurent Ferrier and became a signature for its elegance, balance and legibility. Its visage is always classical, with the most important of the three indicators – the large, centrally-positioned hand – displaying the minutes. Above the centre, at 12 o’clock is the hours display, while below it, at 6 o’clock is the seconds subdial.

The movement is the LF Caliber 228.01, with automatic winding courtesy of a pawl-fitted micro-rotor, delivering a 72-hour power reserve.

The 41mm red gold case is water resistant to 30m and is fitted with sapphire crystals for front and back, for a perfect view of the movement. Alongside the Côtes-de-Genève motif on the bridges and the circular graining on the mainplate, the wheel spokes are bevelled, the screw heads are chamfered and polished and the interior angles are hand-crafted.

For this new Laurent Ferrier Galet Square Régulateur Black, the brand decided to use the praised Square case. The dial is extremely clean and refined. Opaline black nickel has been chosen, with the hour and seconds counters recessed and contracted with a nickel black snailed finish.

The small hours dial bears powdered silver-toned Roman numerals, “railway track” ring with four Arabic numerals at 15, 30, 45 and 60 minutes. The hands for the three functions include a “leaf shaped” hand for the hours and “assegai-shaped” hand for the minutes and a baton-shaped hand for the seconds. All three hands are in red gold (5N).

The Galet Square Régulateur Black will be available from Laurent Ferrier agents from August.

This special Galet Micro-Rotor “Montre Ecole” British Racing Green watch was launched to mark Laurent Ferrier’s participation in the London Craft Week 2018, the event showcasing exceptional and innovative British and international craftsmanship.

The British racing green takes its name from the green international motor racing color of the United Kingdom used till the end of 60’s.

The dial is lacquered as cars used to be. The silver sub-dial reminds of car rims. The leather strap is inspired by the bonnet straps that were very common in the 60’s. The railroad and the hour markers are a nod to speedometer.

For this very special timepiece, Laurent Ferrier chooses the “School Piece” case because it offers a wider view on this exclusive dial. On the movement side, the traditional Côte de Genève motif complements this elegant design.

The mechanical movement that powers this watch features three exclusive characteristics:-
• A micro-rotor pawl-fitted automatic winding system fixed between the main plate and the micro-rotor bridge
• A silicon escapement with double direct impulse on the balance
• A silent block shock protection system for the micro-rotor

The harmonious construction of this Caliber FBN 229.01 stems from the global approach envisaged for each of the movement parts, from development through to realization. Laurent Ferrier wanted to create a movement with a micro-rotor and a comfortable power reserve. To achieve this implied finding a system ensuring perfect winding in order to compensate for the lower inertia of a small oscillating weight. In fact a micro-rotor needs as twice as many rotations (300vs. 150) needed for one complete turn of the ratchet wheel.

This exclusive silicon escapement with double direct impulse on the balance is inspired by the father of modern horology, Abraham-Louis Breguet. This modern construction, associated with the use of cutting-edge materials, maximises the restitution of energy. The excellent efficiency of this escapement serves to reduce the torque required to wind the mainspring and hence optimises the movement winding.

The exceptional finishing of the movement is crafted in the finest watchmaking traditions in Laurent Ferrier’s Geneva workshops. In addition to a Côte de Genève pattern on the bridges and the circular graining on the mainplate, the flanks are hand-drawn, the wheel spokes are bevelled, the screw heads are polished and the interior angles are hand-crafted.

The mirror polishing done by hand on the pawl, the balance-clock and the micro-rotor bridge, as well as the guilloché motif on the 18-carat solid gold micro-rotor, give this model an entirely distinctive radiance. The sapphire crystal case-back provides a glimpse of the finesse of this workmanship and reveals harmonious architecture stemming from a clever combination of lines and curves.

The Galet Micro-Rotor “Montre Ecole” British Racing Green is fitted with a dark brown leather strap. A pin buckle matching the colour of the case sets a refined finishing touch. The case-back is snap-fastened and can be removed by the watchmaker thanks to the olivette. Its water resistance is guaranteed to a depth of 30 meters.

For this special edition timepiece, Laurent Ferrier presents an exceptional white porcelain dial limited to ten pieces and available for the first time in the Galet collection.

This elegant porcelain dial constantly plays with the light magnifying the markers and hands. Ten anthracite Breguet type numerals and a scarletred at 12 o’clock adorn this delicate porcelain dial. The minute outer rail is complemented by gold circular minute dots for the minutes, four diamond-shape gold markers at3, 6, 9 and 12 and smaller diamond-shape gold patterns for the tenths.

The dial is graced with white gold ruthenium treated “assegai-shaped” hands for the hours and minutes and a baton-shaped hand for the seconds. The small seconds echoes the central theme, thereby endowing this model with a perfect balance entirely respectful of lines and the principles of readability cherished by Laurent Ferrier.

The pure aesthetic codes of the Maison have been maintained, but in this 41 x 41 mm size, the model is more powerfully present on the wrist than its predecessors. Fitted with a ball-shaped winding-crown ensuring pleasing handling, the back is equipped with a snap-on back ensuring that the movement remains easily accessible to watchmakers via the olivette.

The movement is a self-winding FBN 229.01 calibre, equipped with a unidirectional pawl-fitted micro-rotor and offering a three-day power reserve. This exclusive in-house movement is developed, assembled and adjusted in the Laurent Ferrier workshops.

It is fitted with a silicon escapement featuring a double direct impulse on the balance. This technology developed by Laurent Ferrier enables the balance to be impelled twice per oscillation, a principle that requires two escape-wheels and an appropriately shaped lever.

This innovative construction, combined with the use of cutting-edge materials, maximises energy efficiency, thereby guaranteeing a high amplitude of the balance. This in turn reduces the amount of mechanical force required to wind the mainspring and optimises winding.

The finishes reflect the high standards Laurent Ferrier imposes on all its creations. All are performed in keeping with the finest watchmaking traditions.

Alongside the Côtes de Genève motif on the bridges and the circular graining on the mainplate, the wheel spokes are bevelled, the screw heads are chamfered and polished and the interior angles are hand-crafted.

The sapphire crystal case-back provides a fascinating glimpse of this fine workmanship and reveals an attractively balanced structure stemming from a clever combination of lines and curves.

Presented this year, Laurent Ferrier’s Montre Ecole wristwatch represented the watchmaker’s earliest development, returning to the basic pieces which forged his abilities as a watchmaker. Known as a “watchmaker’s watch,” this minimalist creation was a watch that would speak to horologists who have been there, learning the basics – one they would love to wear themselves.

Now, Laurent Ferrier is presenting a new Regulateur display on a base of a Galet Micro-Rotor movement, housed in a School Piece case. Its visage is classical, with the most important of the three indicators – the large, centrally-positioned hand – displaying the minutes. Above the centre, at 12 o’clock is the hours display, while below it, at 6 o’clock is the seconds subdial.

The FBN Calibre 228.01 automatic equipped with the pawl-fitted micro-rotor, delivers a 72-hour power reserve. The 40mm stainless steel case or white gold is water resistant to 30m and is fitted with sapphire crystals for front and back, for a perfect view of the movement. Alongside the Côtes-de-Genève motif on the bridges and the circular graining on the mainplate, the wheel spokes are bevelled, the screw heads are chamfered and polished and the interior angles are hand-crafted.

For the dial, a silver toned, vertical satin-brushed finish has been chosen, with the minute and seconds counters recessed and contracted with a nickel snailed finish. The small hours dial bears Roman numerals in black, while the minutes are shown on a “railway track” ring in slate grey with blue painted Arabic numerals at 15, 30, 45 and 60 minutes.

The hands for the three functions include a “leaf-shaped” hand for the hours and “assegai-shaped” hand for the minutes and a baton-shaped hand for the seconds. All three hands are in white gold 18K/210Pd with a black ruthenium treatment.

The Galet Micro-Rotor Montre Ecole Regulateur will be available from Laurent Ferrier agents from July.

For this haute horlogerie creation, Laurent Ferrier has recalled his very first creation as a watchmaker: the School Piece, or “MontreEcole”.

The School Piece incorporated the 19th century pocket watches codes, the skills and techniques that traditionalists will never allow to disappear. In paying homage to his ur-watch, Laurent Ferrier has developed a case with the same roundness above and below its wrist, as when those pioneering watchmakers converted pocket watches into wristwatches.

The Galet Micro Rotor “MontreEcole” has a new 40mm three-piece bassiné case, its form enhanced by two satin bands, with a matte finish to contrast with the polished. The competing-yet-harmonious surfaces emphasise the curved shape and balance of the piece, assisting the eye in appreciating the subtlety of the curvatures. Straight, thin lugs were developed to offer another contrast of the modern and the traditional, the “pastille” end-piece decoration mirrored by the winding crown.

The Galet Micro Rotor “MontreEcole” will be available in three versions including Red Gold, White Gold or Steel:

The Galet Micro Rotor “MontreEcole” Steel

This new case demanded a new dial, also inspired by the Laurent Ferrier School Piece “MontreEcole” with a vertical satin-brushed finish in a dark silver hue. Assegai-shaped white gold hands and indexes point to anthracite painted indexes. The minimalist small seconds dial, free of clutter, enjoys two contracting surfaces: a snailed finish in the centre and a sandblasted outer section.

Another nod to classicism is the finish of the main bridge, reminiscent of the “frosted” style of the great English watchmakers of the 18th century. Laurent Ferrier also chose a rougher decoration for its micro rotor movement, recalling the original materials uses in prototyping, such as brass, which offers a contrast with steel. Further hand-finishing skills applied to the movement include shot-blasting, known as microbillé, and mirror polishing for the parts in steel, including the balance cock.

It is fitted with a dark brown alligator leather strap with Alcantara lining, secured by a pin buckle or a double blade folding clasp in steel.

The Galet Micro Rotor “MontreEcole” Gold 

Offered in Red Gold or White Gold three-piece bassiné cases, the gold models are fitted with Assegai hands matching the case metals. Sharing with the steel version’s dial are the vertical satin brushed finish in a silver hue and the minimalist small seconds dial with snailed finish in the centre and a sandblasted outer section.

The Galet Micro Rotor “MontreEcole” in gold will exhibit the exact same decoration as our existing Micro Rotor models. The gold editions attach to the wrist with light brown alligator leather straps with Alcantara lining, secured by a pin buckles or a double blade folding clasps in white or red gold.

Platinum is available on request

On demand of its exclusive retailer in London, William & Son, Laurent Ferrier has created a special 18k rose-gold and platinum limited edition of the new Galet Traveller Night Blue, applying red gold-leaf to highlight the United Kingdom’s position in the enamel dial.

The UK-only edition is based on the Galet Traveller movement LF 230.1 – which offers 80 hours of power reserve and functions with a so called “natural” escapement – and is visible through the sapphire case back on which the name William & Son has been engraved in a unique blue lacquer displayed at 12 o’clock.

The centre of this dial is adorned with a convex planisphere depicting the five continents in 18K white gold, surrounded by a blue enamel sea. Crafted using the age-old champlevé technique, the area destined to host the seas and oceans is hollowed out from the material before the enamel is applied. The difficulty lies in performing this enamelling on a domed surface serving to re-produce the rotundity of the Earth and in highlighting the central five-continent motif. The edge of the continents slopes gently towards the coastlines, displaying various shades of blue.

The three-dimensional effect is reinforced by several aesthetic details. The emerged territories are painted and the world’s cities seen by night are depicted by gold leaf-adorned dots further enhancing the contrast with the oceans. Hand-finished with a circular satin-brushed decoration, the outer gold ring dips towards the central sphere, thereby accentuating the illusion of a raised globe literally balanced on top of the dial.

The unique aesthetic of the model is heightened by the drop-shaped hour-markers whose tips extend beyond the ring, giving the impression that they are literally suspended in the void.

1- Cells are carved on the metal plate (dial)
2- Delicate enamel is embedded in the carved surface of the dial

The piece is then fired until the enamel melts

3- After cooling the surface of the object is polished and continents painted
4- 5N red gold leafs are applied on the enamel dial to highlight the United Kingdom’s position

The Galet Traveller Globe Night Blue was developed in such a way as to combine practicality with an overall balance of the timepiece, thus ensuring readability and performance in all circum-stances.

Two perfectly symmetrical oblong pushers delicately integrated into the left-hand side of the case serve to adjust the local time indicated by the central hand. When passing from one time zone to another, this central hours hand may be moved forward or backwards in one-hour increments by successive presses. The upper pusher moves the hand one hour forwards, while the lower one moves it backwards, all without affecting the minutes hand.

In addition to this fast adjustment of local time, the date appearing through an aperture at 3 o’clock automatically jumps when the hand passes midnight, thereby adjusting without any separate intervention to the transitions between different time zones. Meanwhile, the 9 o’clock aperture keeps track of the reference time (home time). The 24-hour display provides a natural distinction between daytime and night-time hours.

The Galet Traveller Globe is powered by self-winding LF Calibre 230.01, incorporating the dual-time adjustment mechanism as well as the date. It features a system of unidirectional automatic winding via a pawl-fitted micro-rotor, backed by a double direct-impulse échappement naturel. This escapement is distinguished by the fact that the balance receives two direct impulses for each oscillation, thereby guaranteeing excellent efficiency matched by an 80-hour power reserve.

The decoration and finishing are performed in keeping with the spirit of Haute Horlogerie, combining extreme dexterity with artisan-style expertise.

The sapphire crystal case-back of the Galet Traveller Globe enables one to admire the exquisite refinement of this craftsmanship and was engraved in a specific blue lacquer at 12 o’clock with the name of William & Son for this specific limited edition.

In addition to the Côtes de Genève décor on the bridges and the circular graining on the mainplate, the sides are manually chamfered and the screw heads are polished. The hand chamfering is particularly visible in the finesse of the interior angles, highlighting the authentic respect for the watchmaking art consistently cultivated by Laurent Ferrier.

The Galet Traveller Globe Night Blue for William & Son will be limited to five pieces in rose gold and platinum.
