I honestly wish
LF would stop these collaborations on micro/special editions with blogs/media companies. In the long term it just erodes brand value. The occasional micro editions with retailers are tolerable, maybe even welcomed. But overdoing it just spoils it for me.

Laurent Ferrier × Revolution Classic Micro-Rotor ‘Amazonia’
Finally, a watch you can take with you to your next amazon rainforest tour...😂 ...
Gorgeous watch with a bold and nice color.
I love the distance between the central axis and the seconds axis. Best.
Not sure about this one being a tool watch but…
…a perfect daily wearer with a vibrant and cool dial yes definitely ! 😉
Surprising indeed that they price this steel case iteration at the same level as gold ones but…
…it is a limited edition with just 15 examples if I don’t mistake …we all know at least one brand where the steel case Calatrava watches reach the same price as the gold versions …and we are not here to discuss prices anyhow so I prefer to stick to by com...
Definitely not
Price is marked up because businesses require margin. Really don’t see the need to pay up for Revolution edition watches. It doesn’t mean a thing to me. Rather buy direct from an AD or LF themselves. Best Gatsby

LF seems to have an endless appetite for these
I agree that it spoils the excitement/interest in limited editions to do as many of them as LF does. On the other hand, I suspect that means that many of their regular pieces are just as rare as their limited editions!
Agree. Too many limited editions will diminish the interest towards the brand, IMHO.
Though this green dial is quite attractive.
why? isn't having more options a plus for the consumer?
much better than creating artificial scarcity as Patek and AP do...
but limited editions are all about artificial scarcity
How many of the LF regular pieces are there? We don't know! However many they've had room to produce, which is not very many. Those are relatively scarce, and their scarcity is 'natural', whereas limited editions are, always, "we are going to produce X nu...
I love that
When your production is that small, who needs LEs at all? Everything you offer is rare and limited!
I think
They let some customers and such get custom order pieces, which they then called "limited" even though they kind of weren't, but yea I don't feel like exclusivity is really a problem with this brand. It's not Voutilainen/RG/GF, but it's not like FPJ where...
may be "endeless appetite" is not accurate so a bit unfair
As far as I know they did around one per year with Revolution and I am not aware of many LE to make it "endeless". They still make a very limited number of watches per year so not sure why it would spoil the excitement.
May I point out that LF has released another limited edition in the week since we had this discussion?
Aside from this one with Revolution (their third Revolution LE) there's another one coming with Fourtane Jewelers (at least their second Fourtane LE).
