Nicolas (amanico) revisits the Laurent Ferrier Bridge, a 2019 release that, despite its horological merit, hasn't frequently appeared in collector discussions. His initial post invites the community to reconsider this distinctive timepiece, particularly focusing on its movement and the perceived proportions of its case. This article synthesizes community insights, offering a deeper dive into the watch's design and wrist presence.
I dedicated a whole thread to this one, including its 'forerunner', the Arpal: www.watchprosite.com I've never seen it in real life and, yes, it seems too big. But some of the variants look great.
But definitely love the design - and the movement ๐๐ป๐๐ป
But I have to agree with amanico that it does indeed seem a bit on the large size for a watch like this, whilst it width of 30mm and length of 44mm seem fine it is its thickness of 14.6mm that I find disturbing. Even with the curvature of the watch I think it will feel quite slab like on the wrist or maybe not. Marc
But this one makes me think about it, especially the back side...
Itโs collab with Urwerk and has the wandering hour complication with a 12 oโclock crown.
But the case shape is interesting. And it's thick. Even not including the lug height, it measured about 12.4mm. For a 3 hands manual wind movement it's too thick. Though consider it's size, thickness is more reasonable? haha Movement fitted to the case and layout is more compact. (IMO, quiet better than round one.) Besides, case back is beautiful. Not only the movement but also the case itself. Conclusion : I like this watch, otherwise it wouldn't be on my wrist.๐คฃ And sorry that I'm not native.
