Laurent Ferrier and Chopard...

are best imo. Parmigiani is nice too, this is Vaucher. Chopard is NOT Vaucher and has nothing to do with the Parmigiani one. Michel Parmigiani was in the construction team of the Chopard 1.96 back then, but today's Parmigiani-movement is different from it.

Who makes the best micro rotor movement?

In terms of finishing and technical aspects. Is it Laurent Ferrier? Is it Chopard with their caliber 1.96/96.01-L? Is it Parmigiani? (Same vaucher caliber as Chopard but who do you think finishes it better?) Is it someone else? I could not think of better...  

Add the Lange Sax-o-Mat movement to the list.

Personally, I'm partial to the Laurent Ferrier. The layout, the rotor bridge, the finishing. All excellent, and contribute to a beautiful movement. That Chopard is certainly nice too.

Lange slipped my mind

Romain Gauthier's Insight Micro rotor is pretty spectacular

It's better finished than any of the above. However it is an acquired taste style wise. Cheers, Tim

Thats a good one

Hmmm... great question!

Depends on what constitutes 'the best'. Bvlgari has the thinnest while retaining classical decoration and design, Czapek has a modern design, Parm, Romain, Chop....

Haven’t seen in yet in person.

In pictures hard to dispute.

A favorite of mine comes from Parmigiani.

Here the movement in a Tonda 1950. Compared to Chopard one has to distinguish : - the movement in their steel models is less well finished - the movement in the gold models is close but not exactly at the level of Parmigiani (although this is more of my s...  

Are you sure Chopard uses vaucher

 
 By: Mohannad (aka Riddler) : January 30th, 2022-18:59

I think the 1.96 was made by LUC

 
 By: mhz vph : January 31st, 2022-04:45
Not a vaucher.

Yes it’s in house

I’m biased…
