my first Laurent Ferrier...

Very pleased I received this today on a cool, a early wintry and sunny Hong Kong morning.

I had given this brand much thought for one year...









, and finally booked the piece in June. Delivery took almost six months as it had a custom dial.

so presenting my first Laurent Ferrier -- the galet micro rotor...

















After a day of wearing this, I must say the asthetic presentation of my particular piece, and the wear, is giving me a horological-high that exceeds, say, the a Patek Calatrava (multi-fold I would add) or any of my three-hand watches. Principally because of the particular slate grey dial (which I cannot find in any/almost all slate grey dials in the market), the custom breguet numerals which accentuates the classicism of the piece, the LF hands that makes it very distinctively LF, and finally the 40 mm case shape and 'bulb' crown -- this last facet of the watch is beautifully proportioned and I love the incredible elegance with which it sits on my wrist.

my 2 cents ! thanks for reading. This message has been edited by shing on 2013-11-16 09:28:03
