Emmanuel, known as quattro, provides an invaluable chronological overview of Laurent Ferrier's Grand Sport Tourbillon and Sport Auto lines. This detailed presentation allows collectors to trace the evolution of these significant sports models, offering a unique perspective on Laurent Ferrier's design philosophy and technical advancements in the luxury sports watch segment. His personal reflections on the 'no-date-tourbillon' versus 'date-Sport Auto' models spark a compelling discussion on aesthetic preferences within the brand's contemporary offerings.
As much as I love Laurent Ferrier, I’m still not sure how I feel about these sports models. But I thought interesting to see the whole line as of today.
The models are presented by family (Grand Sport Tourbillon first, then Sport Auto) in chronological order.
One thing I’m sure of, though, is that the ‘no-date-tourbillon’ models speak to me more than the ‘date-Sport Autô. And I think the original model from 2019 could be my favorite.
Best,
Emmanuel
