amanico · 2019-02-08T03:55:38Z

Compare Laurent Ferrier Galet Classic and Galet Square blue dial watches. Discuss which case shape offers more elegance or modern appeal.

Nicolas (amanico) presents a compelling comparison between two Laurent Ferrier Galet models: the round Galet Classic and the cushion-shaped Galet Square, both featuring a striking blue dial. He prompts the community to weigh in on their preference, highlighting the distinct character each case shape imparts. This discussion delves into how case geometry influences a watch's overall elegance versus its contemporary appeal.

Here they are in all their beauty:

This one, the round, is limited to 10 pieces for Antoine De Macedo, a famous AD in Paris:

This one, the Square, I could discover it at the SIHH, this year.

One is definitely more elegant, classic, the other is more " cool " and young.

Which one, for you?

Best,

Nicolas

Key Points from the Discussion

While acknowledging the beauty of both, one contributor expresses a slight preference for the Galet Square in blue due to its versatility, modernity, and beauty, though the Galet Classic is also highly regarded for its elegance.
The choice between round and square cases depends heavily on the dial; the Galet Square is favored for this specific blue dial, while a more classic dial might better suit the round case for enhanced elegance.
The author notes that the blue dial might make the Galet Square more versatile, but expresses a strong personal preference for an enamel dial with a red '12'.
The Galet Square is seen as more special due to its unique case shape, making it a preferred choice for some collectors.
One suggestion is to pair the Galet Square with a 'cognac' alligator strap, indicating how strap choice can further enhance the watch's aesthetic.
