Catalogue Essay
The present Galet Micro-Rotor is a rare and refined creation, produced in a strictly limited edition of just three pieces to mark the 110th anniversary of the esteemed Japanese retailer Kamine. Crafted in stainless steel, the case retains Laurent Ferrier’s signature design elements, including elegant curves, a stepped bezel, and an onion-shaped crown. At its center lies a pristine white grand feu enamel dial, adorned with applied white gold Breguet numerals and complemented by delicate Breguet-style hands in matching white gold.

The present example is offered in excellent overall condition and numbered 1 of the limited edition of three. It is accompanied by its original accessories, including a warranty stamped by Kamine’s Torroad Store. Founded in 1906 and located in Kobe’s historic Motomachi district near the Kyu-kyoryuchi, or “Former Foreign Settlement,” Kamine has long been a trusted name in fine jewellery and horology. With over a century of expertise, the retailer has served generations of Japanese collectors and connoisseurs.

This timepiece not only represents the artistry and elegance of Laurent Ferrier but also commemorates a milestone in Japanese watch retail history, making it a truly special piece for discerning collectors.

Laurent Ferrier

Swiss | 2008
Introducing its first watch to critical acclaim in 2010, Laurent Ferrier was founded by long-time Swiss watchmaker of the same name. Following a 37-year career at Patek Philippe, Ferrier founded the brand in 2008, creating timeless wristwatches inspired by the finest wrist and pocket watches from the nineteenth and twentieth centuries. Revered by collectors around the world for their genuine innovations and understated elegance, the brand specializes in exquisitely hand-finished movements featuring state-of-the-art watchmaking technology. Galet, or "pebble" in French, describes the signature feature of the brand's cases used across its collection — with soft curves, domed crystals and rounded edges reminding one of a smooth pebble.

Key models include the Galet Classic Tourbillon Double Spiral and the Galet Micro-Rotor, with stunning movement architectures designed after prestigious observatory chronometer movements of the twentieth century.
