Launched to widespread praise in 2010, Laurent Ferrier is the brainchild of a seasoned Swiss watchmaker bearing the same name. After dedicating over 30 years to crafting timepieces at Patek Philippe, Ferrier established his own brand in 2008. His vision was to create eternal wristwatches, drawing inspiration from the most exquisite wrist and pocket watches of the 19th and 20th centuries. Globally esteemed by connoisseurs for their authentic breakthroughs and subtle sophistication, the company prides itself on its intricately hand-finished mechanisms that incorporate cutting-edge horological technology. The term "Galet," or "pebble" in French, aptly captures the defining characteristic of the brand's watch cases found throughout its range, characterized by gentle contours, vaulted crystals, and smooth edges that evoke the image of a polished stone. The current lot, the Square Micro-Rotor is a beautiful example of this high craftmanship combined with a strikingly beautiful ice blue dial, one of the most popular colors for dials in recent years. In excellent condition, the timepiece boasts an exquisite movement design that is reminiscent of the celebrated observatory chronometer movements from the last century, and one that any fan of independent watchmaking at its finest will appreciate.
