Independents

The desire grew within me over some time. Now the opportunity was good and I pulled the trigger. This watch is a real piece of understatement and the white enamel dial is pure magic that can hardly be captured in pictures. I am super happy to have this beautiful and rare piece in my collection 😃







The movement is simply spectacular. The workmanship is absolutely top class 👍🏼

I´m not really familiar with this brand, but your watch is up there with the very best in the market, no matter if you look at the breathtaking movement or the beautiful enamel dial! Extremely beautiful and well-designed watch, wear it in good healt. It has a certain elegance and lightness in its design that many contemporary watches are sadly lacking.

This micro rotor movement is clearly their showcase and the finishing is commensurate with that. I thought I'd like the origin but it's not at the same level. Enjoy 👍

stunning!

Thank you for sharing...great looking watch with fantastic attention to details in design and finishing.  I need to gain more knowledge on the brand.

The LF micro-rotor is a beautiful movement, the simple enamel dial is wonderful and versatile, and your pictures are amazing!

While I cannot rival your shots, this one says hello—

I mean, what a peach. I am particularly impressed by the finishing on the movement. If I were to break the bank and go for a high end independent, Laurent Ferrier it would be.

I also commend you for your choice in straps. Very tasteful.

Rotors are my favorite offering from him. Also those who know him say he’s a wonderful guy (unlike some of his French cohorts… oops now I’m permanently banned from the Boutique list)

...this is a good-looking LF...all the way to the strap : )

...but is this still the case when I compare it with the best from the best? I have to admit that the anglage of Philippe Dufour's Simplicity is a little wider and the layout is more playful and complicated than from Laurent Ferrier. But the quality is surprisingly close.



But hey, the fact that a watch is the result of the craftsmanship of a single man also makes a PD something very special. It's not just about the result, but also about the journey. The concept of LF is completely different. But craftsmanship and quality are both on an exceptional high level. I'll have to make my experience regarding reliability. I hope not to be disappointed.

I had the pleasure of trying on a Classic Origin in Titanium recently, and I absolutely loved it. Really thinking about going for one in the future (I just acquired a Breguet Tradition last week, so I’m not going to be adding anything for a long time! 😅). The Gallet is also fantastic, just such incredible finishing and a really interesting movement architecture.
