I get it...but just because LF worked for PP, doesn't mean he can capture that magic...

...I prefer the LF aesthetic in most cases, but collectability-wise, they're not on the same planet as FPJ.

LF is the next Journe.

The charm of his timepieces can be appreciated only in person. The pics never do them any justice. I'll be pulling a trigger on another piece very soon... ...
Doubtful...

...as most of their models aren't very complicated for one thing...
True.

However, you have LF dealing with Patek complications for a three decades plus...and this is a point in his evolution: Almost an austere simplicity joined with a sophistication which can't be replicated...
And who needs complications?
By: patrick_y : May 5th, 2022-21:56
Complications are nice, but I can't remember the last time my perpetual calendars were all indicating the correct month, day, and date. Or if the complications were actually working. Half the time I put on a simple watch, the watch had stopped and I have ...
I sort of knew that...

...but because of the structure of this forum, sometimes it's difficult (for me at least) to determine who is replying to who : (
Right.

True!

Some people genuinely like complications. And are fascinated by them. I am fascinated too, but at the same time I can't deny the beauty of that clean dial layout. But yes, we're all a little specific about what we like! And that's great!
Ivan, You are totally on point.

But that is probably will also be the reason why LF canβt get too popular. It will require a lot of watch collecting experience to understand this simplicity and sophistication.
Both on point

And slow growth has benefits and long-term stability. jmho
Agreed!

It is expensive. But then again, all Laurent Ferriers are priced highly.
Ahh! Someone who isn't confident with the dial.
By: patrick_y : May 5th, 2022-21:52
Looking at the photos (I haven't seen the watch in person yet), I feel this is one of the nicest shades of blue dials on a watch from Laurent Ferrier in a long time! But of course, this two-shades of dark blue might not be appealing to everyone. And there...
Beautiful LF

LF watches don't always appeal to me. And I'm finding super complex looking dials don't always appeal to me neither. Most of the time, a perpetual calendar isn't set correctly anyways. I find that simple 2-3 hand watches are more my thing now! I don't eve...
