Incandenza initiates a critical discussion about Laurent Ferrier, raising concerns across several key areas of the brand's operations. He challenges their transparency regarding movement manufacturing, their approach to 'limited editions,' stock management, and recent case design choices, inviting the community to debate these points.
And your post is singularly & similarly inflammatory. And it didn’t have to be done — or if done it could have been done ina more gentlemanly fashion. Ranting is seldom precise or inviting. Cazalea
I have edited to be more gentlemanly.
Actually there would be nothing wrong, if all the independents reported it clearly. Because there only few who have CNC machineries and do all the "dirty job". Finishing is just the icing on the top, that's why my esteem for Mr. Ferrier has definitely dimished
...I think the first three letters of the movements actually start with the initials of the founders of their third party movement manufacturer. Devil’s advocate might state that Ferrier is a great marketing exercise propagated by HODINKEE and the likes. In reality, yes, he has extremely nice finishing. Yes, their production is limited vs most other industrial players. Yes, their micro rotor movement design is unusual and visually appealing. But what about the rest? There is a bunch of CAD/CAM/i
...risk when you spread yourself too thin without having strong legs. One has to a/c for that risk into market pricing like pmh said.
That is a beautiful watch - with the best case and best movement they have produced. They need to preserve brand equity to ensure that loyal customers (like you and me!) stay loyal. Best wishes
