Laurent Ferrier
Galet Square
A fine stainless steel wristwatch with small seconds, champagne dial, certificate and presentation box
Full-Cataloguing
- Building upon this acclaimed foundation, the Galet Square retains the signature bevelless construction while presenting a more contemporary wrist presence. This 41mm stainless steel example features an attractive sunburst champagne dial that evokes the gentle light of the season.
- Within beats the impeccably finished LF229.01 movement. Its most poetic feature is a fan-shaped, solid-gold micro-rotor, suspended from a gracefully arched bridge that calls to mind a crane in repose, set against a backdrop of fine perlage and Geneva stripes. The movement further distinguishes itself with a double direct-impulse escapement—inspired by Abraham-Louis Breguet’s natural escapement—which enhances efficiency by conserving energy and stabilizing amplitude.
- With only a few dozen exceptional timepieces leaving its workshops each year—most cased in precious metals—this steel model offers a notably sportive and rare character. Preserved in excellent condition and accompanied by its full set of original accessories, it represents a remarkable opportunity to acquire a masterpiece of minimalist integrity from one of horology’s most respected artisans.
Laurent Ferrier
Swiss | 2008Introducing 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.
