  • Catalogue Essay

    The present model, Galet Traveller World manufactured by Laurent Ferrier in 2015, is featured with an aperture for dial time display and an appealing cloisonné enamel dial and is for the first time offered at auction.

    This intriguing enamel dial, based on a sketch of Laurent Ferrier himself, ensures excellent readability and guarantees smooth transition across different time zones. The watch is powered by the famous in-house Micro-Rotor movement with integrated dual time adjustments which has taken over two years of development. The dual time complication can be adjusted simply by pressing the two notches in the band in one-hour increments and it is fitted in one of the smallest cases by Laurent Ferrier, making it a perfect fit on a traveler's wrist.

    Presented with its original certificate and fitted presentation box, this present watch is a highly charismatic example presented in new condition.

  • Artist Biography

    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.
