True!
Some people genuinely like complications. And are fascinated by them. I am fascinated too, but at the same time I can't deny the beauty of that clean dial layout. But yes, we're all a little specific about what we like! And that's great!

All Laurent Ferrier pieces are exquisite, but this one is exceptional! I find this to be one of the nicest Laurent Ferrier pieces I've ever seen! Introducing the LAURENT FERRIER Classic Micro-Rotor - Salon des Horlogers Limited Edition of 25 pieces. Appar...
LF is the next Journe.
The charm of his timepieces can be appreciated only in person. The pics never do them any justice. I'll be pulling a trigger on another piece very soon... ...
True.
However, you have LF dealing with Patek complications for a three decades plus...and this is a point in his evolution: Almost an austere simplicity joined with a sophistication which can't be replicated...
And who needs complications?
Complications are nice, but I can't remember the last time my perpetual calendars were all indicating the correct month, day, and date. Or if the complications were actually working. Half the time I put on a simple watch, the watch had stopped and I have ...
I get it...but just because LF worked for PP, doesn't mean he can capture that magic...
...I prefer the LF aesthetic in most cases, but collectability-wise, they're not on the same planet as FPJ.
I sort of knew that...
...but because of the structure of this forum, sometimes it's difficult (for me at least) to determine who is replying to who : (
It's impossible to argue against that, Patrick.
I think we all agree implicitly, this all insanity of collecting lands us within things peculiar and geeky as opposed to utilitarian and pragmatic..😉

Ivan, You are totally on point.
But that is probably will also be the reason why LF can’t get too popular. It will require a lot of watch collecting experience to understand this simplicity and sophistication.
Ahh! Someone who isn't confident with the dial.
Looking at the photos (I haven't seen the watch in person yet), I feel this is one of the nicest shades of blue dials on a watch from Laurent Ferrier in a long time! But of course, this two-shades of dark blue might not be appealing to everyone. And there...
To be honest, I didn't even notice at first.
At first I was so captivated by the color.
You're welcome! Thank you for commenting!
LF watches don't always appeal to me. And I'm finding super complex looking dials don't always appeal to me neither. Most of the time, a perpetual calendar isn't set correctly anyways. I find that simple 2-3 hand watches are more my thing now! I don't eve...
Laurent Ferrier knows how to make an appealing dial
If you're into natural escapements, this is the complete package.
Hmm. I'm not sure I know enough about his natural escapements...
But no doubt, this is one very special timepiece.
