Independents

sorry for quality but taken with my Blackberry (not the same quality as iPhone) so sorry about this. Its still a prototype and is missing the Geneva waves and the finish on the micro rotor

The watch has 3 specific features:

- A silicon escapement with double direct impulse on the balance (called à Moustache)

- a micro rotor pawl fitted automatic winding system fixed between the main plate and the micro rotor bridge which enables the same winding efficiency as a watch with a centrally mounted rotor

- a "silent block" protection system also guarantees  greater stability on the micro rotor

That looks lovely, Alex -- although my aging eyes can't pick up too many details from that photo of yours

This movement looks to be both beautiful and inventive -- a great combination.  It also looks as if LF is avoiding the "fake bridge" look that some found objectionable on the tourbillon -- just a nice big plate on this one with (even in this photo) obviously beautiful finishing.  The balance cock looks great, too.

Can't wait to see more!

Bring it on!

Cheers,

thanks! Is the bridge over the rotor slightly angled, or is that a trick of the light?

It looks really neat and I cannot waite to see the finished product.

What is a silent block?

Best,

I'd wondered about that as well.  The only thing I could think of was something similar to the anti-vibration mountings of a motor, but I'm not sure how much sense that makes.  I guess we'll hvae to wait for more info.

front) which supposedly give it greater stability and resistance to shock

Thanks for the photo Alex!!! The movement is very innovative! Looks amazing too!

Now looking forward to see the front!! Admittedly LF case design haven't been my cup of tea... see if this one will win me over!

That reduces my interest, especially on a time-only watch. Maybe some additional complications to add at a later date........

The double direct escapement seems lately is becoming somewhat of a theme in these new "simple" independent watches.

So many great choices from the independents. Will be hard to beat the KV Twenty 8, but definitely looking forward to more details on this one, and I suspect Mr. Ferrier will not disappoint.

I haven't seen the dial on this new Laurent Ferrier piece, but although it is an automatic, I am already more interested in this than the new KV timepiece.

The fact that it is an automatic does not detract from its beauty in the least. And as you know, I do like micro-rotor automatics.

only a few more days to wait

Very interested in it....

to be said about it ... looking forward for the updates and pics Alex .

Thanks for sharing .

Already about to fall in love with this piece and I haven't even seen it in person yet!

Very much looking forward to seeing the photos of the additional products.

Thanks for the heads up Alex!

Looking forward to seeing this in Singapore.

to see bigger pictures. I'm sure the finishing will be phenomenal!=)
