Compare Laurent Ferrier's Galet, Galet Square, School Watch, and Tourbillon Grand Sport case shapes. Discover collector favorites and design insights.

Amanico's post, "Who is in for a stack of Laurent Ferrier Watches?", presents an educational exploration of Laurent Ferrier's diverse case shapes. By showcasing the Galet, Galet Square, School Watch, and Tourbillon Grand Sport, the author invites the community to compare and share their preferences, fostering a lively discussion on the brand's distinctive aesthetics.

Behind this crazy idea, an educational purpose.

Laurent Ferrier has currently in production 5 different cases: The Galet ( round ) , the Galet Square ( cushion ), the School Watch, the latest Tourbillon Grand Sport, and the only one I couldn't take in picture, today, the Bridge.

The idea? Showing the different case shapes.

What's your favorite?

Personally, I am hesitating a lot between the Galet Square and the Galet Round, even if I appreciate more and more the School Watch, but I will come back to that.

You?

Best,

Nicolas

Key Points from the Discussion

The Galet Square, particularly with a blue brushed dial, is highly favored for its unique aesthetic and strong wrist presence, often preferred over the classic Galet Round.
The Galet Round is acknowledged for its elegance, described as 'smooth as a pebble,' appealing to those who appreciate its classic design.
The Tourbillon Grand Sport's thickness of 12.70mm is noted, suggesting it needs to be seen in person to fully appreciate its proportions.
Curiosity is expressed about the 39mm version of the Laurent Ferrier watches, as images are rarely seen outside the official website, implying limited production or visibility.

My Galet Square with a blue brushed dial (the GPHG winning combo) very high in my love list together with another killing option the Galet Classic rose gold case But there are also other beauties like the Traveler with enamel dial... or even the Bridge this one with a particularly nice dial... But definitely the coolest version imho is this understated one with enamel dial... I am definitely in love...

my heart beats for Galet square...Galet round case is aesthetically a bit too serious ;-) Best, mahesh.,

I'm curious about the 39mm version too, although I've never seen pictures of them anywhere other than the LF website. Seems strange that they made so few in this style.
