The nautilus is dead
By: Arronax : February 2nd, 2022-13:09
Long live the new nautilus Joke aside it has a strong 70s vibe to it.
41,5mm
By: mrds : February 2nd, 2022-13:25
Smaller compared to the 44mm Grand Sport Tourbillon

Thanks

I was enquiring as the proportions seem really off. To be checked in the metal!
Price?

It is real..
By: Centurionone : February 2nd, 2022-13:31
I really liked the Grand Sport but couldn't rationalise having a tourbillon in a sports watch but this looks good
Interesting!
By: Chronometer (aka yacomino) : February 2nd, 2022-13:35
Looks great.
By: russell996 : February 2nd, 2022-13:29
Something different to the usual and made to LF standards, what's not to like. 41.5mm Titanium 120m WP
Agreed!
By: Centurionone : February 2nd, 2022-13:33
Easy enough to fix...
By: mdg : February 2nd, 2022-18:02
...I wold hope that they would offer an option on a rubber strap like on the Grand Sport Tourbillon.
Not my style
By: TRF Speedmaster : February 2nd, 2022-14:39
They should have made this 40mm and include a quick release system to easily swap out the bracelet for a rubber strap. Also (and I understand why they did it) but ditching the natural escapement is disappointing. As a lover of the brand, I do hope this ju...
It's not an 'error'...
By: mdg : February 2nd, 2022-21:24
...it's an abomination. Hopefully they will offer a reference without a date.
what
By: psfparis : February 2nd, 2022-15:18
i love the LF collection but this time it's main stream...dommage
No one has mentioned the crown
By: cazalea : February 2nd, 2022-15:22
What's going on there with the crown? It seems strangely positioned or somehow reflected in the sides of the case, from both top and bottom. Hmmm. Cazalea
Need more time to review this one
By: MPP : February 2nd, 2022-15:30
I want to like it because l love the brand and I’m in the market for a sports watch. But I want to see it in person. I would have preferred it slightly smaller and slimmer, and it would have been nice to swap out the bracelet for a strap. It may be that i...
In 20 years
By: MPP : February 2nd, 2022-16:05
It will be interesting to see which (if any) of the new sports models from independents will be considered iconic. I tend to think the Moser Streamliner has the best chance, but could it be this LF or the Czapek Antartique?
Not sure…
By: Andy_Mac : February 2nd, 2022-17:38
…but the ALS Odysseus got panned initially and look at it now.
Exactly..
By: Centurionone : February 2nd, 2022-18:19
I really love this case shape...
By: mdg : February 2nd, 2022-17:41
...very similar to the one used on the Grand Sport tourbillon reference. But I really DON'T like whatever is going on around the date window. Best to get rid of the date altogether... ...
well not really a fair comparison :)
By: christianch : February 4th, 2022-01:09
Laurent Ferrier is in a different league, movements, finish, hands. The only similary I see with the Bell is that both are in steel 😁
I was excited
By: pptraveltime : February 2nd, 2022-19:14
Until I saw the four screws on the back. Kind of bother me. Want to see the real thing to make the final judgment. ...
A couple more photos…
By: edgemi : February 2nd, 2022-20:56
Must admit I’m a fan. Completely understand people’s comments about the date, it would be more balanced without it. ...
I’ve always had a soft spot for LF
By: Mr.Gatsby : February 2nd, 2022-21:25
And I expected this would come sooner or later. The timing cannot be better, when luxury sports watch prices are exponentially higher. Do I like this watch? Well, I want to. Firstly, I empathize with LF for creating this sports watch. After all the herita...
Seems like the app is buggy
By: Mr.Gatsby : February 2nd, 2022-21:37
And the full length of my post got cut off. Gonna cut to the chase on my remaining points: 3. Use of titanium love it. Stainless steel is mainstream and this is a great choice. 4. Gradient blue dial what’s not to love? Check 5. Ghosted text “Sport Auto”. ...
As a Ferrier fan, I‘d love to like this one
By: mrds : February 2nd, 2022-21:52
But I don’t. In fact, it leaves me surprisingly indifferent. It is too close to an icon. And while it may be different enough to not count as an imitation, it doesn’t bring anything new to the game that is the blue dialled sports watch. (Except the Ti, wh...
Congratulations
By: MPP : February 3rd, 2022-01:25
Can I ask what makes this watch more desirable TO YOU than the Streamliner, which I think shares a somewhat similar aesthetic? I assume the finishing is higher-end on the LF. Do you also prefer the overall look or shape of the LF? I ask as someone who is ...
Thanks very much.
By: MPP : February 4th, 2022-00:31
I very much want to try on the new LF. I actually really like the aesthetics. I just need to see whether it’s too large for my small (6.5 inch) wrists. I typically wear watches that are a bit smaller and thinner.
I’ll do that. Thank you.
By: MPP : February 4th, 2022-02:18
I’m also trying to find out whether it will be easy to swap out the bracelet for a strap and whether the bracelet has a micro adjustment.
Well said!
By: MTR : February 3rd, 2022-10:55
And I think you made a thoughtful and well-considered decision. I like this GF, too, but would like to see it in metal before. The movement is very appealing to me! Cheers Thomas
Can’t wait to see it champ 🏆
By: oyster case : February 2nd, 2022-23:31
These renderings are not ideal from which to form an opinion. Yes, I suppose it’s reminiscent of some other designs but nothing like the new Zenith Defy is 🙂. There are “Ferrier” elements that I am picking up. I could likely guess the brand without the na...
Oh dear! What happened here?!
By: sham1 : February 3rd, 2022-01:53
I see some purists liking this design but it is a big no from me. Makes the Nautilus look even more beautiful! and I am not even a fan of the Nautilus
In a nutshell.
By: MTR : February 3rd, 2022-07:01
I have to confess I am already tired of all these blue dialed steel sports watches but from the pictures I like this LF. For me this watch has its own style (like the Moser Streamliner), and I don’t see it copying other watches (also not the Nautilus). Wi...
I like it & wait to put in on my wrist
By: patrickh : February 3rd, 2022-08:44
Great new model. Congratulations to Laurent & Christian. Would expect a quick strap change with metal bracelet, alligator & rubber (like Vacheron Constantin Overseas offer).
bravo 🦾👏
By: christianch : February 3rd, 2022-19:57
A perfect replacement for the now gone Nautilus. Better in every way (beside the price perhaps but better an higher price at source than no availability). I doubt that it would be very available BUT great idea to give to the clients what they want and not...
😉
By: radone : February 3rd, 2022-20:55
Judging by the number of views and comments on this post, the controversy raised makes me think of the controversies raised by the RO and Nautilus some half a century ago... R
Maybe
By: MPP : February 3rd, 2022-21:16
But as wonderful as LF watches are, the brand is not widely known and produces a very small number of watches. Who knows if the manufacture will even exist in 20 years. I think this watch, the Moser Streamliner, and the Czapek Antartique have a chance to ...
Sport Auto serviceability should be better...
By: athens7 : February 15th, 2022-02:36
As the LF Swiss lever movements don't use LIGA manufacturing or silicon parts in the movements, unlike the Galet Micro-Rotor. Outside of the design aesthetic and the finissage, the movement is pretty standard and should be easily serviceable, regardless o...
Gorgeous!
By: j.delage : February 4th, 2022-01:25
I would like it better without the date, but as date windows go, this one is well done. There are plenty of good detailed pictures out now. They're worth seeking out.
