Laurent Ferrier is a true contemporary master watchmaker. Reuniting understated modern aesthetics and technical ingenuity, his production is rooted in the classic traditions of the past revisited with a modern twist.

With its round case featuring elegant curves and a delicately stepped bezel, its brushed dial with Breguet numerals and hands, and its onion crown, the present Laurent Ferrier truly takes it inspiration by the most classical watch designs, but the dial color and modern 40mm size make it a modern reinterpretation of those timeless designs.

The movement however is the true star of the show: perfectly fitting the case, it impresses with its impeccable finish and construction, showcasing superbly executed polished angles, elegant bridges and delicate Geneva waves. The double impulse balance wheel is a remarkable interpretation of an A.L. Breguet design and consists in the escape lever being placed between two escape wheels (while normal movements employ one escape wheel only).

While all Laurent Ferrier timepieces are highly appreciated by the most refined collectors, the present piece pushes the boundary further with its stainless steel case and Breguet numerals. As it sometimes happens with high-end manufacturer,s Laurent Ferrier tends to case most of its production in precious metals. Stainless steel cases, such as the present one, are a rare exception to this norm. Research suggests that the present watch is one of only 8 pieces to be delivered in this combination. Compounding to the rarity, the steel case grants the watch incredible lightness and the presence of the full original sale kit it the icing on the cake for the most spoiled of collectors.
