‘’Simplicity is the ultimate sophistication‘’

When you see a Laurent Ferrier Galet in metal, you’re twice convinced Da Vinci is so right!

my preference have always been a square case, so walked in yesterday to see the Galet square in metal at the Antoine de Macedo in Paris.

I’ve read plenty of articles, seen video reviews on the Galet square having similar design cues with a Radiomir case – so I took my 721 for comparison (with a thought how simple a LF could be?). I’m so wrong, seeing one in metal you’re sure the look & feel of the Galet square is impressively different, elegant...

Frankly, with the bad iP pics I didn’t even want to try taking a shot of the movement – that is one heck of a movement finish if I may say!

One more thing, I was equally intrigued by the round 'galet' pebble design case – except for few brands, i always thought it is 'too normal' for a watch...

especially with the 10 pc LE of Antoine de Macedo with a Matt blue + bit grainy dial, white hour markers & hands – beautiful in every sense.

& the 'Autumn toned dial' - I can say onething for sure, none of the pics in the net makes justice – try one in metal & I bet you’ll be more than convinced. The dial is dynamic & yet subtle in the same time !

Anyone who travels to Paris, take time to visit this boutique - i can promise you'll be the kid in the chocolate factory !

Merci beaucoup Pour M.Antoine - taking an hour & explaining each piece in detail...

HAGWE !!!

Best,

mahesh.,

Your pictures definitely spoke thousands of words. Indeed one thinks of the Radiomir when one comes in contact with the Gallet square. But putting them together definitely does differentiates them instantaneously! I think the gallet square is more special...

the Galet square had an entirely different feel & fit on my wrist... i agree, the round case will complete the collection (to make it well rounded ;-) ) Thanks for reading through... Best, mahesh.,

I see that you were at the " Devil's playground "! ;) I would rather compare the Ferrier square case with the case of a PAM 587 and 662, for instance.

Antoine is a top guy, and a friend. He is very passionate about watches. Back to your topic, I am really in trouble trying to tell which is my favorite, the round, more classic, or the square. The round is a kind of no risk, but the square catches all my ...

oh yes...it was in deed a great place to be in !

the risk is known, so left the card in the car ;-) i think the LE blue is at its best in the Galet round case as it is - better not to touch something that is near perfect ! Square case is well done - i'm confused to choose 'the' dial, every option seems ...

The Blue is one of the best, in my opinion as well. But a nice enamel dial, with a red 12... Hmmmmm... Answer is on its way. ;) [nt]
