Nicolas, known as amanico, shares his immediate admiration for the Laurent Ferrier Galet Square White Gold Porcelain Dial, describing it as "love at first sight." His post highlights the watch's exquisite proportions, the superb white gold case, and the captivating micro-rotor movement, inviting fellow enthusiasts to appreciate this limited-edition independent watchmaking marvel. This piece offers a detailed look into what makes this particular Galet Square so appealing to a seasoned collector.

I discovered this watch in the Laurent Ferrier Website, and I must say that  it is love at first sight. 

The proportions are excellent ( 41 mm big, 11, 10 mm high ), the white gold case is superb, the porcelain dial matches very well with the spirit of this watch, and... The micro rotor movement is a feast for the eyes. 








Cherry on the cake, the white gold hands, which add elegance, and the round and diamond shaped minute markers. 

The touch of red bring the final touch to this Galet Square Enamel. 

A strong love for me. 

As for the movement; this micro rotor is a treasure. 

Certainly a watch to consider from my side. The downside? It is limited to 10 pieces... So it won't be easy to find. 

Best,

Nicolas

Indeed, Nico. A great Watch that reminds me the old designs but with an amazing movement. It’ll be really difficult to find one, yes, but I hope you can find it. Besides that let me tell you that Laurent Ferrier watches are one of my favorites, a real masterpieces from the independents watchmakers. All the best Alex

The red on the 12 and on the sub seconds plus the yellow of the gold(?) indices really makes it pop. Love the elegant hands too. Regards Kev.

...even if I prefer the classic Galet case with the more modern index markers. Very close to my perfect dress watch. I love what LF is doing. The micro-rotor movement (really all LF movements, except for the recent peculiar triple-date movement) are stunning. Cheers, John

red of the '12' was very subtly shaded with black to give the numerals some depth. If so, that is a fantastic and well-considered detail.

I more think of you as a vintage man who is able to salvage the most amazing sunken treasures from the depths of horological history. But that doesn’t mean you can’t go indie also This piece has some vintage feeing about it. And certainly LF makes a stunning movement as well. + He is a super cool and very friendly person. I was lucky to meet him in 2011. A real gentleman who took good time to talk. I hope you’re able to catch this one, my friend.
