Compare Laurent Ferrier's Galet, Galet Square, School Watch, and Tourbillon Grand Sport case shapes. Discover collector favorites and design insights.

Amanico's post, "Who is in for a stack of Laurent Ferrier Watches?", presents an educational exploration of Laurent Ferrier's diverse case shapes. By showcasing the Galet, Galet Square, School Watch, and Tourbillon Grand Sport, the author invites the community to compare and share their preferences, fostering a lively discussion on the brand's distinctive aesthetics.

Behind this crazy idea, an educational purpose.

Laurent Ferrier has currently in production 5 different cases: The Galet ( round ) , the Galet Square ( cushion ), the School Watch, the latest Tourbillon Grand Sport, and the only one I couldn't take in picture, today, the Bridge.

The idea? Showing the different case shapes.

What's your favorite?

Personally, I am hesitating a lot between the Galet Square and the Galet Round, even if I appreciate more and more the School Watch, but I will come back to that.

You?

Best,

Nicolas

Key Points from the Discussion

The Galet Square, particularly with a blue brushed dial, is highly favored for its unique aesthetic and strong wrist presence, often preferred over the classic Galet Round.
The Galet Round is acknowledged for its elegance, described as 'smooth as a pebble,' appealing to those who appreciate its classic design.
The Tourbillon Grand Sport's thickness of 12.70mm is noted, suggesting it needs to be seen in person to fully appreciate its proportions.
Curiosity is expressed about the 39mm version of the Laurent Ferrier watches, as images are rarely seen outside the official website, implying limited production or visibility.
