Independent watchmaker Laurent Ferrier is known for making deceptively simple watches. Sleek, almost minimalist in design, the watches often hide complex movements with advanced technical solutions – even for those only displaying the time. Another aspect that characterises LF is the delicate sense of elegance combined with a discreet twist. Recently, the brand presented its […]
With a knack for creating sensually shaped, understated, beautifully designed watches and movements, it’s hard to find somebody who doesn’t like Laurent Ferrier’s watches.

We have put together some superb watches […]

Mixing a more common case material with a delicate, hand-finished tourbillon movement, it was the Haute Horlogerie version of what is today […]

In tune with the season, Laurent Ferrier launches an ‘autumn-inspired’ version of his well-known Galet Annual Calendar School Piece.
