As fernando reported below...
The renowned enameler Anita Porchet is now working with LF. The early "prototype" was possibly done by others or was just "prototype". Anita had been persistently lured to be hired by Patek while she was/is working for Patek models, but she insisted on being independent. So, right now, the enamel dial of LF is done by such a renowned enameler. By mid June, several will arrive at the Hour Glass and you should see for yourself. I did, but I didn't find it worthy of such criticism.

Continuing fabulous report by fernando, I met Olivier Muller today here in Tokyo. Not much words necessary. Just additional pics and a few short videos for your viewing pleasure. The new model - micro rotor - is wonderful. You have to see it to believe it...
Great post KIH!
Great post KIH! Thank you for all the photos of this super watch! Just can't wait to see the new micro-rotor in person and gawk at the beautifully finished watch.
Excellent post, Ken!
I'm really starting to appreciate and take notice of this brand now. Domo-ne!
Ken, once more a great report ...
and I start to think how you manage to sleep after seeing all these beauties, recently The "final" movement on the iPad looks very promising. Any ideas about pricing? Thanks for sharing with us! Oliver
Well, it is a matter of priority...
Watch, watch, watch, sleep, and day job. So, day job is sacrificed The MSRP of Micro Rotor is CHF44K, according to the CEO (Olivier Muller). Ken
Fabulous report, Ken!
Thanks so much for this thorough report and the great photos -- especially the movement close-ups. Very impressive! I also like the direction they are taking on movement decoration (as shown on Olivier's iPad). Very cool! Best, Gary
And they got it right!! True classics. Seeing them
in the metal is truly amazing, the pictures are a great start, but they must be seen to believed. Nice article and great picture of the team. Best to all, Tim
What a treat to handle all these...
...Laurent Ferrier watches. The micro-rotor is going to be a hot model for them IMO. I like all three models, although don't think the screen version is very wearable. Still, the enamel painting on the lower level is amazing. Thanks for the report, Ken! C...
Great report
Love the tourbillon, and have tried this in the metal. Don't like the dial of the time only watch from the pics. Price point is good compared to some other simple independent watches.
Actually, thank YOU, Ken
Absolute pleasure reading and viewing the master(s) and his/their creations... Thank you
Ken, thanks for a great report!...
The Classic Tourbillon with black dial that was on your wrist is my favorite piece -- great looking contrast with the white hands and numbers. Layout of the movement looks like Ferrier has borrowed some ideas from his days at Patek, though much nicer deco...

not sure the criticism was about the dials but rather the whole concept of
the opening shutters that some found gimmicky
Another high quality independent products.
I like the movement very much, very unique. Thanks Ken. Regards Ling
