Spotted at the SIHH: Some Laurent Ferrier Galet, Galet Square and The Bridge!
It is now a habit, each year I go to the Carré des Horlogers, the Independents area at the SIHH and I pay a visit to my favorite Independents, Laurent Ferrier, Gronefeld,Kari Voutilainen...
Let's start with Laurent Ferrier. I saw some versions of the Galet and Galet Square I didn't know. Of course, if I got it correctly, these are novelties.
You know the micro rotor movement very well, so I will just focus on the new dials, here.
A Galet Square pale blue, which is very fresh, idea for summer, but for the whole year, I don't know.
The chocolate, brown, tobacco is more my taste, and truth t be told, very tempting. I had hard time giving it back to Guillaume.
Now, two Galet, one with a superb opaline black dial,
And another one with a not less superb opaline silver dial.
The Annual Calendar is far from being a bad choice, but the Galet " Time Only " is much more my cup of tea. I just cannot make my mind between the round or the square...
As always, the back is a feast. This micro rotor is a huge part of the interest of Laurent Ferrier's watches.The proof that automatic can go in par with Beauty, sometimes.
And now, the star... The all new Bridge.
The case is disorienting, a kind of rectangular fitted shaped case, curved at 12 and 6 o' clock.
This version has an enamel dial. But there is another grey grained dial.
Top dressy and elegant. You just have to get used to the shape of the case.
And, as you could guess, the back of this new Bridge is not lacking interest with a superb manual winding movement.

Our dear Watchonthewrist took some good ones, and you will see how the Bridge sits on the wrist.
The Galet Square chocolate dial made the stronger impression on me. But I still dream of an enamel dial.
The Bridge was a pleasant surprise, too.
Best,
Nicolas
PS: I would like to thank Guillaume and the Ferrier Team for their warm and friendly welcome.

thanks for sharing...
the Opaline white & Opaline Black are beautiful dials (i think the Mousse blue with the white indexes are equally irresistible). round cases are very elegant & kind of too serious ? i think an enamel dial will be better with the round case ?! the brid...
this is a bait ;-)
i think LF round cases are really good...the form goes with the name 'Galet'...IMHO.
Great Report my friend . Stunning pics like allways and thanks for mentioning me 🙏🏻
The Galet squared is also my fav from the brand and i hope one day to add one (salmon dail ofcourse 😉)
I was quite impressed by the LF line up at SIHH
my favourites are the more traditional ones, time-only either round or cushion case. Not sure about the pale blue which wasn't really pale, just realyl blue.
Thank you Nico for these nice photos of the LF novelties
I would have loved to attend the show but at least I have your pics and the ones of our friend Watchonthewrist. Interesting novelties indeed. The Bridge One surely needs to be seen in the metal. The case shape reminds me of the legendary PP 1593 (often ca...
Forgive me for saying, but IMHO The Bridge is just
a spill over unchosen design from the LF-Urwerk Arpal One
you may be right .the bridge is classic
I just think that Arpal shoiws the best from LF & Urwerk. ,A chemistry of Extravagant Gorgeousness
Thanks for the report!
The blue looks superb to me... really stunning! The rest is not bad either for that matter... wish I will have the opportunity to see these in the flesh one day..
Glad you like the brownie
I have this one created as a piece unique from years ago for a US collector. I absolutely love it. ...
