My point of view since you ask…
Whatever decision you will take it will be a good choice as both are superbly finished and cool. However a different approach imho:
- the Classic with micro rotor is a bit more dressy even if really versatile. And the movement is more sophisticated and refined than the beautiful Classic Origin
- the Classic Origin is a subtle mix of simplicity modernity and elegant design at the same time. The manual wound caliber (beautiful and very well finished) is however a much more discrete and simple movement.
- The micro-rotor caliber shows it is haute horlogerie at first sight, it is fascinating and a feast for the eyes while the manual wound movement is much less flamboyant and more understated
In other words both are great options but it depends what you like, what is your style, what you are looking for…
It also depends what you already have in your stable and what you want to add to it in terms of style.
Nico would go for the Classic Origin and he is right because it fits his style.
I would go for the Classic micro-rotor and I am equally right because I highly prefer the movement and it fits my style.
Which is your style, taste and need only YOU have the answer 🤷🏻♂️
My two cents 😉
Hope it helps… Let us know the outcome.
Best,

Laurent Ferrier Advice
Hey everyone! I have decided my next watch will be a Laurent Ferrier, however am struggling to decide which model to select. I’ve been through wrist shots over and over again, however it’s really hard to decide which one to go for. I’ve narrowed down the ...
I consider LF micro-rotor as one of the best micro rotor movements from any manufacturer...
so if it is your first LF & you don't see yourself buying a second LF - then go for the Micro-rotor version (whichever dial variation you prefer). Best, Mahesh., ...
I was also in this perdicament (chose the ice blue)
I love the origin, but imho the micro rotor movement is a must if you are going to have only one LF.
Thanks!
I think the micro-rotor offers more from a movement perspective, but aesthetically I’m not sure if like the colour options…

I Appreciate your thoughts!
I’m torn between the two. I don’t have any smaller brand watches, I’ve only ever had PP, AP and Rolex. Starting to get fed up with the way ADs are treating me. I’m interested in watches and this new watch flipping world we live in has really taken the joy...
The manual winding feel on it is *sublime*
I almost even want to tell you NOT to get this as your first manually wound watch, since I think it's hard to appreciate just how gorgeous the LF winding feel is when you haven't been around the block a few times before!
agree completely -- the feedback when winding the Origin is second to none.
But the microrotor is so beautiful. I went with the Origin, because when I saw the watch I knew I had to have it. Either way, you won't go wrong!
Same thoughts here
You give up a lot of movement gorgeousness... but get what to me is an overall more strongly appealing watch!
It’s interesting to see a real divergence of opinions here, which is a reminder that each person must determine what appeals most to themself.
That said, I’ve always thought that the LF micro rotor movement was one of the best micro rotor movements available. While I’m sure the manual wind is a fine movement, if I had to choose one, the micro rotor would be my clear choice. I also prefer the rou...
I tend to agree with mahesh and others
For the only, or first, LF I think it should be the micro rotor. I do love the Origin, but I would hate to get an LF and not have this incredible movement inside. ...
