  • Catalogue Essay

    Unveiled in 2019, the Laurent Ferrier Grand Sport Tourbillon fuses the founders' passion for motorsports with signature elegant complexity. Its unconventional case evokes a sleek sports car, with clean lines and generous curves concealing a high-performance in-house cal. LF619.01 tourbillon with double balance-spring that enhances its accuracy.

    Assegai-shaped hands and indices filled with Super-LumiNova add sporty character against the eggshell textured gradient chocolate dial, concealing the recessed small seconds and hidden tourbillon. With a hefty 18K pink gold case beautifully executed in circular brushed and polished finishings, and integrated link bracelet, Laurent Ferrier exercises admirable restraint, keeping complex mechanics subtle yet visually arresting.

    Offered for the first time at Phillips, the present pink gold Grand Sport Tourbillon is one of a limited edition of 24 pieces only. Purchased from Japanese luxury watches and jewelry retailer Yoshida in Nagoya, the watch is kept in barely worn condition with its full set of accessories. The seamless blend of complexity and elegance stays true to Laurent Ferrier’s distinctive vision, achieving the essence of fine watchmaking.

  • 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.
