Johnathan Chan's very unique tantalum Galet
Johnathan Chan is a Hong-Kong based watch enthusiast and the co-founder of The Horology Club and Earthen Company.
Here's how he describes this bespoke Laurent Ferrier Galet Classic micro-rotor in an interview with Sfwatchlover:
"It’s a fully unique piece that I designed with the brand in 2021. I designed the fully frosted autumn like dial and customised the movement to be sandblasted in rose gold as well as the request for a one of a kind tantalum case. They’ve never made it before and don’t plan to redo it so it’s a truly special piece for me."

The frosted dial…
Reminds me of some work Chopard has done years ago and is exciting here as much as there. Very nice piece unique 👌🏻👍🏻
I thought of the Mortiz Grossmann...
and I think tremblage is even more special compared to sandblasting. A special watch with a one of a kind tantalum case.
True, tremblage is even more special.
I personally prefer the more classic LF, but this watch is very nice nonetheless.
What a beauty...
Interesting that the manufacturer agreed to make a tantalum case just for him.
That really is a stunning looking Laurent Ferrier Galet in Tantalum
Although I have to say Tantalum usually looks much darker than it does here but the dial and hands just look so good on this watch who really cares. Marc.
Maybe, yes. But I think I like this bolder proposition better.
There are so many blue dials already.
Wow
Can’t believe I made it onto WPS! Absolutely chuffed. Thanks for the kind words guys. Yeah it was a crazy journey how this came about, had to jump through so many hoops but now it’s a piece that’s truly probably my favourite. Happy to answer any questions...
