Classic Moon Silver & Blue
The Classic Moon Silver by Laurent Ferrier, ref. LCF039.R5.G3N won the GPHG 2024 Calendar and Astronomy Watch Prize.
The red gold case measures 40 x 12.9 mm.
Unfortunately, even though this model has its charm, I'm not really won over by either the cutout for displaying the day and month, or the translucent disc in petrol blue enamel of the moon phase.
The watch is powered by manual winding Caliber LF126.02.
I could try it during my visit to Laurent Ferrier last February, as well as the stainless steel variant called “Classic Moon Blue”, ref. LCF039.AC.C1WC.
Because the day & month cutout is less visible on this grey-blue opaline dial, I might have a slight preference for this variant.
I forgot to take a photo of the movement of this variant, so here's an image from the official website.

Nice, but less attractive to me than my Classic Micro-Rotor and, above all, than the Tourbillon Double Spiral in yellow gold, ref. LCF001.02.R5.E10, which remains for me an ultimate goal.
What are your thoughts?
Thanks for reading.

Sorry to say so but I think the dial is a complete mess.
The tourbillon on the other hand is top, I’m with you on that one. Dirk
I’m not convinced either, Dirk.
“A complete mess” is stronger than what I feel, but I agree that it’s not great. Best, Emmanuel
I’m glad that you like it.
I’m personally not convinced, but it has its charm, undoubtedly. Best, Emmanuel
What beautiful and classy looking watches from Laurent Ferrier.
I agree about the Moon Silver day and month cut outs looking more than just a little odd but I much prefer the Classic Blue Moon where the dial colour seems to have resolved the issue. Of course the others are just beautiful and simple clean looking watch...
These Classic Moon definitely have a charm of their own,
but I don't fully respond to them, not even the grey-blue opaline. Simple matter of taste, of course.
I love both versions, the best annual calendar on the market in my opinion.
Those are watches that need to be appreciated in person. The frame adds a touch of elegance and the moonphase is gorgeous. The design choices make total sense once the watch is on the wrist. I of course wish thst the watch was powered by the micro rotor m...
Thank you for sharing yours! It looks gorgeous on your wrist.
And your photo confirms my preference for the white gold/grey-blue opaline variant... Best, Emmanuel
