Laurent Ferrier - continued from HK

Continuing fabulous report by fernando, I met Olivier Muller today here in Tokyo.  Not much words necessary.  Just additional pics and a few short videos for your viewing pleasure.  The new model - micro rotor - is wonderful.  You have to see it to believe it.

Nice lunch to start with....







Oh, this is not LF



Very nice pair.



I like the sharp index.  40mm case size is just about right.



There are four (4) patterns - WG with gray dial



WG with silver dial



RG with gray dial



and RG with silver dial







This is my fav.















No thick at all.











This will be the back of the final product (meaning, the pieces brought this time are all prototype without any Geneva stripe or engraving on the back).



...but some close-ups of important parts.  Micro rotor sandwiched by the bridge.



Micro rotor from different angle.



Balance wheel




... and Galet Tourbillon Classic again (with drooling....)




















Now, Galet Tourbillon Secret



Essentially the same movement as Galet Classic



Wow, thick!







This pushed on the crown can open and close the "curtain", too, while the open/close time can be set by the owner.



Enamel and hand painting.  You can order other painting like Panda or Penguin




















Below are from the press kit - Mr. Ferrier and Mr. Ferrier



Mr. Navas and Mr. Barbasini - formerly of BNB Concept ("N" is Mr. Navas, the last "B" is Mr. Barbasini) - now set up a new company "La Fabrique du Temps" which now works with LF.  The company as well as these two gentlemen are the partners of LF.



The team.















Different dial pattern of Galet Secret



Now there are three short videos.  You may have already seen it elsewhere, but for those who have not - informative and fun to watch.  They are all short, so enjoy!














Hope you enjoyed.  Thank you!
