Notes
Laurent Ferrier
Laurent Ferrier offers alternatives to all devotees of classic mechanical watchmaking. The House
develops movements crafted in harmony with the finest traditions, while enriching them with
high-performing and genuinely innovative technical attributes. Designed for devotees of pure
values, it updates horological fundamentals ? a renewal of origins that positions Laurent Ferrier as
a well-respected member of the exclusive circle of mechanical Haute Horlogerie.
A world apart from the frenzy of design trends and the quest for originality at all costs, Laurent
Ferrier is rethinking the fundamentals of traditional watchmaking. The young company harks
back to the origins of this expertise, while lending its own contemporary vision of movement
construction. This recent development guarantees a degree of precision and reliability bordering
on perfection. Laurent Ferrier immediately opted for excellence and rapidly earned chronometricprecision
certification from the Besançon Observatory. Success followed swiftly, since in 2010
Laurent Ferrier received the Geneva Watchmaking Grand Prix in the ?Men?s Watch? category for its
first creation, the Galet Classic.
In keeping with the Only Watch spirit involving models representing horological innovations,
Laurent Ferrier again demonstrates its commitment to important causes. For this 2013 edition, it
has chosen to offer the very first movement of the second version of its famous Tourbillon Double
Spiral (double balance-spring tourbillon). It is duly numbered calibre ?000? and housed inside a
steel case shaped like a pebble (hence the French name galet), framing a unique sand-toned grand
feu enamelled dial displaying a dainty dove. The Monaco coat-of-arms is painted in tone-on-tone
shades on the small seconds display. Once again, Laurent Ferrier testifies to its wish and its ability to
create symbolic models, while focusing on the ?custom-made? approach for unique occasions.
