You have good taste

Apr 04, 2020,04:30 AM
 

This watch immediate caught my attention when it was launched, and I had to wait until the AD advised me they received one. I think I got the first piece that hit the market here. One pitfall of collecting tourbillons is that they usually do not hold their values well because of a weak secondary market. I soon learned this lesson and as a result, bought most of the above pieces in the after/secondary market...  Here is another Laurent Ferrier I have - the Traveler

This is strong evidence that I am really bored... Which one do you prefer, and why? Sam ...  

Amazing pics

I’d pick the journe (phenomenal) and the Lange with grey dial

Good choices

Those are my favorites too

Understand

Funnily enough, every time I wear this watch, it grows on me. The enamel dial, the Roman indices, the minimalist dial, the size and the weight - everything is just perfect...

Actually this is only watch I would buy out of those. This is my personal taste - I just don’t like holes in dials. But overall looks, of Laurent Ferrier is wonderful for me, the slim hands and indexes, perfect movement finish and look. Since beginning I ...

What a classy execution of GMT functionality without, spoiling original design. Congratulations on stunning watches. I believe Laurent Ferrier managed to create one of best modern interpretation of classic gentleman watches, while keeping his own style. A...  

Lucky you

I know you don't like holes in the dial

Actually I missed another piece I have :P

The Piaget Emperador Tourbillon....got it through an auction ...  

All gorgeous and amazing watches .

But that FPJ would be my pic of the day 🤗

Thank you

Also one of my few favorites. I wear it on special occasions

You have the best watches Sam!

But that 1815 with the hammered dial is a bit special not just because of its rarity but it combines a wearable case, a magnificent dial and of course a tourbillon.

Thank you for the kind words

It was a long hunting process for the HWK. Eventually I had to get it from the New York boutique...

Ignoring the giant Cs on the dial, the Cartier reminds me of a McGonigle

But having said that I like the 1815 Mike

I like the 1815 too

Just wish that it was produced in the white metal...

Thanks

I am slightly surprised that the LF seems well appreciated in this forum...

My first choice from this outstanding group would be the FP Journe

But I also have to give a shout-out to the Parmigiani which, in my opinion, is one of the most under-rated brands in all of horology. If someone wanted to go buy a wonderfully-finished, beautifully-designed high-quality timepiece, was happy to buy pre-own... 

Very good point

 
 By: samwan : April 4th, 2020-08:22
In fact, I acquired the Parmigiani Toric Tourbillon through an auction at a fraction of the listed retail price....quite a steal in my humble opinion...

It’s the LF for me.

The subtleness of having a hidden tourbillon for the pleasure of only the wearing is great. They are all beautiful, especially the Parmigiani, but the LF is the winner. I also love the LF traveler you showed. A beautiful collection! AH

Thank you Andy for the thumbs up

I am happy so many people picked the LF among the competing pieces
