GreatPilot@me.com's initial query regarding the Laurent Ferrier Sport Auto in stainless steel sparked a lively discussion among collectors. His post, questioning the value proposition and market positioning of this integrated bracelet model, serves as an excellent starting point for exploring the nuances of independent watchmaking in a competitive luxury landscape. This article synthesizes the community's diverse opinions, offering a multi-faceted perspective on a watch that has clearly divided enthusiasts.
It’s a great brand but these are much nicer IMO. Saw it at W&W and while better than in pictures it think these two are some of the nicest designs from LF and a much nicer than the bracelet piece.
for watches with integrated bracelets. So I would pass on this one, but that is just me.
but loving it in pics. 2 year + wait list at the moment. Will post pics when mine arrives next year.
I think the life time production over a few years would be around 100 pieces, it is not an yearly number. I am not sure you can get one, but if still possible it will be a long wait.
Is way too much when I can buy the Lang & Hyene or Parnigiani stainless steel for 17,000…Jim
At 'Watches & Wonders 'I had the chance to try it on and play with the watch and I find it very attractive. The titanium case and bracelet feel so comfortable on the wrist and I loved the little weight. It is unfair to compare the Laurent Ferrier Sport Auto, with the Galet model on leather strap, since that is an entirely different watch. A better comparison would be the L&S Odysseus in titanium, also a very attractive watch, but for me, the Laurent Ferrier wins. George
