It's interesting how people have criticized LF for working with Swiss manufacturers for various parts to LF design, while idolizing Philippe Dufour who does the very same thing.

In fact, PD's designs are based on a 1950's movement and so have less horological interest than an LF.
Not to knock PD, but just to say that LF has suffered undue criticism.

LF Roll Call
By: mrds : December 29th, 2020-03:23
There are some great Galets, Galet Squares, Montres d‘école in this forum. Micro rotors, tourbillons, manual wind movements. Dials in every color, stainless steel or rose gold pieces. All of them mesmerizing, all with their particular style. All beautiful...
Fantastic,

simply gorgeous! This may be my favorite LF. Have yet to see one in the metal but have been quite sure for some time that one day I will own a Laurent Ferrier. Cheers Marc
Thanks, Marc 🙏

Many different options from LF, and almost impossible to make a bad choice. Just a matter of taste. I do love the Boréal version with its stealthy cool look. But I‘m equally tempted by an elegant Galet classic, perhaps in rose or white gold. Or the new Op...
Super cool!

The Boréal twins in one post 😎 Yours looks great, very different style on the black gator strap. Top class!
Love it!!

It takes a man with style to put this one on a Nato.
So classy!

Love the blue dialled Galet with its flowing lines. And then this Tourby.... you bring out the heavy metal here! Thanks for sharing these beauties, mahesh, and enjoy them some more!
Interesting point

I‘m not an expert on this at all, but I would think that everybody in the Swiss watch industry does rely on collaboration with external suppliers. Just from the way this industry is organized, I assume much of the innovation comes not from watch houses bu...
Wow!! What a collection...

I love that Breguet dial and the brown dialled Galet Square is just my thing! Are those all steel models or some white gold too? A true aficionado you are, Mr. Gatsby!
Thank you Geo

I really like the contrast of white on brown too
And with good reason 👌🏻
By: mrds : December 29th, 2020-11:22
It‘s a gorgeous piece! Love the titanium case and the minimalist backside. Thanks for chiming in, analog_sheen.
Sublime!

Strap for the Origin Classic Opaline
By: camhawk : February 4th, 2021-12:37
Hi Sheen, beautiful piece, and looking into the same (as a first luxury watch and daily wearer). I notice the strap is a darker brown without the white/lighter sticking which appears on other photos I have seen. Is this the strap from the Green Opaline? M...
Thanks for the compliment.

So far I have not seen one in the wild except for one sold in the secondary market by A Collected Man.
Here is my 'Montre Ecole' in steel
By: Geo : December 30th, 2020-05:52
and I probably go for the Galet Micro-Rotor early next year. This brand is so well made, while it looks so simple. GEO ...
A very under-the-radar choice
By: mrds : December 30th, 2020-10:56
... with the Montre d‘école case and the silver dial. For connoisseurs only! Thanks for sharing this, Geo.
Stunning version!

I‘m a sucker for Ferrier‘s sector dials! So special, so classy... Thanks a lot, chap.
Thanks
By: chap : January 8th, 2021-05:38
I think they did 10 of them around 2015
Awesome dial!

Here is mine. ...
Thank you, Mike!

My favorite LF dial and strap. Cheers!

It may be the classiest, most understated watch, at all! Thank you Mike for sharing this enameled beauty. No LF roll call could be complete without it. Enjoy your Sunday! Daniel
