I also love the Galet square case with all his round angles, the Black dial and of course the AWESOME micro-rotor. My Green Luminova Boreal says Hello. More sportive as LF was a Le Mans Driver and that's the reason he had created this specific model.

Laurent Ferrier Galet Square Quick Review!

 
 By: christianch : December 17th, 2022-16:14
Many thanks to all the advice and help in picking a Laurent Ferrier watch. I have decided to go for the Laurent Ferrier Galet Square (or how is it called now, simple square). If you are used to buy watches from famous manufactures the world of independent...  

Glad you went with the micro-rotor!

Looks great in this configuration. Spot on, the hands in person look incredible ! - Kevin

Cool pictures, but how does LBF stand for Christian Ferrier, Enrico Barbasini, and Michel Navas?

 
 By: BigFatPauli : December 17th, 2022-16:54
I get that perhaps: L B= Barbasini F= Ferrier But that's the deal with the L and Navas?

my bad I meant the movement is FBN 229.01

Ferrier Barbasini Navas the classic origin is using the

Ah. That makes more sense.

Thank you, love the Luminova Boreal which is long sold out

I think the square in general was a model inspired by sport, this is also why the new steel model sport started from the square

The building reflection is pretty cool...

 
 By: mdg : December 17th, 2022-17:18
...and this model would be high on my list. I am a big fan of stainless for the durability and lightness...great choice : )

Thank you, yes I had to find some good looking buildings ๐Ÿ˜„

 
 By: christianch : December 17th, 2022-17:41
overall I am super happy with the watch! a different level of what I already own

Excellent choice - congratulations!

Yes, one has to go for the micro rotor, there is no question about it! I went for the sport auto because of the versatility and because it has the best bracelet that I have seen. But the finishing on the original movement is unbeatable. The comparisons wi... 

An awesome watch and a great choice, congrats!

I am sure the black dial, even if hard to photograph, is stunning in real life! Please share some more insight and pics after some days, would be great!

What a wonderful looking watch

Congrats

thank you very much ๐Ÿ™

 
 By: christianch : December 17th, 2022-18:59

Congratulations! Well-chosen dial color, case material and strap combo

 
 By: Lankysudanese : December 17th, 2022-18:26
Wear it in good health Iโ€™m just curious: does it bother you that the movement doesnโ€™t hack? Hussam

thank you very much, love the strap combo really special ๐Ÿ™

 
 By: christianch : December 17th, 2022-19:00
oh I didn't notice it..it doesn't really bother me also I think Patek movements do not hack

You made a great choice.

 
 By: mrds : December 17th, 2022-18:50
Congratulations! This is a piece that will never grow old.

Thatโ€™s freaking awesome.

 
 By: RabidManatee : December 17th, 2022-20:31
I too hate buying something without seeing it in the metal; glad you were able to do so. Congrats and thanks for sharing.

I adore it! I did not think you would go for the square but boy what a great choice! It looks awesome on you

So unique that I am sure you will have a very long honeymoon on this one. Wear a t in the best of health and please post pictures as often as you can ๐Ÿ˜Ž

thank you!! it was not an easy choice as both models are great...๐Ÿ‘

 
 By: christianch : December 18th, 2022-08:35
but I like the extra wrist presence of the square and the black dial/light strap combination captured me. Thanks again for your suggestions will definitely post more pics in the future

Really happy for youโ€ฆcheers!

 
 By: Chronometer (aka yacomino) : December 18th, 2022-12:58

thank you, the square is amazing on the wrist

 
 By: christianch : December 25th, 2022-09:11
not easy to capture on the photos (where looks more closer to a Panerai). in the metal is totally different. Has to be seen in the metal. The movement is amazing.

It sure is! Maybe this will be my first LF!

 
 By: Chronometer (aka yacomino) : December 25th, 2022-11:59

thank you!! ๐Ÿ™

 
 By: christianch : December 18th, 2022-08:36
enjoyed all your Laurent Ferrier photos in the forum which helped a lot as many models were not available in the metal.

Pleasure.

I donโ€™t like itโ€ฆ

 
 By: Mike H : December 18th, 2022-08:10
โ€ฆI LOVE it ! ๐Ÿคฉ I know I am a bit biased as I literally love this brand: the design of the case whether Galet Classic or the Square, the movement (specially the micro-rotor), the dial with its sublime classy indexes and assagai hands, and of course also La... 

haha thank you ๐Ÿ™

 
 By: christianch : December 18th, 2022-08:38
I did follow the brand since many years. Saw it in Hodinkee in the early days and I was waiting for the right time to find one! Loving it so far. Thanks for your kind words

Fantastic watch. Love it.

Huge Congrats with your beautiful LF

 
 By: Watchonthewrists : December 18th, 2022-09:25
A timeless beauty and a Galet square would also be my choice . Wear it in best of health

thank you Christian, I had to soak up the โ„๏ธ very quickly

 
 By: christianch : December 30th, 2022-23:45
I was getting worried that it would stain the strap ๐Ÿ˜‚

Haha ๐Ÿ˜‚ I understand

 
 By: ChristianDK : December 31st, 2022-11:59
Cool none the less

thank you !! loved to see your amazing Laurent Ferrier pieces ๐Ÿ‘

 
 By: christianch : December 25th, 2022-09:10
so happy to join the club with a more simple yet spectacular (at least to me) model. Wanted to get a Laurent Ferrier for a while and I am glad I found this opportunity!

Congrats

 
 By: stabilizer : December 31st, 2022-04:51
Beautiful watch. So true that the nuanced beauty of LF watches is just amazing.

Very beautiful piece

 
 By: quattro_spirit : November 19th, 2023-05:39
Iโ€™m myself very attracted to a rose gold classic model with slate grey dial. I might follow your pathโ€ฆ
