It's a casual or relaxed watch, not a sports watch

Would you take a Nautilus into the water? You can, but most people won't. Will you take off the Nautilus to scrub a pot? Probably not. To me, that is a casual or relaxed watch.
The Fifty Fathoms is sportier than this watch, bigger, thicker and with a bezel. You might take that one in the water. Who can forget the Blancpain Fifty Fathoms Tourbillon, with the signature carousel? To me, that was a step too far. Some people will just say, "Let the market decide."
Anyways, this Laurent Ferrier is the for the person who wants the very finest in mechanical watchmaking, but they want it packaged inside a relaxed watch they can wear to the supermarket on the weekend. Even if it costs as much as a small cottage, sometimes you want something you don't have to take off while scrubbing a pot. It's a relaxed watch with a serious movement, which is fine by me.

...the color is unusual. I also like the ‘just because’ attitude of this watch. Wish it were a bit smaller but I can’t afford it anyway : )

It looks great but somehow sports watch and tourbillion don’t add up in my view

I’ve been waiting for that since they launched it. Who can shake up Laurent here? 🤔I wonder
I hope this comment does not offend...

LF are brilliant and beautiful watches... but rarely worth the cost.. in terms of resale... but just on a visual level... I love this bracelet and case combo... it is beautiful and excellent! get where I am coming from?
You're right.

But putting aside the sticker shock, and loss of value once it's "off the lot" this, and most LFs, are gorgeous watches. I don't see the point in the tourbillon; though putting it on the movement side I think is the right way to go.
