Strap for the Origin Classic Opaline
Hi Sheen, beautiful piece, and looking into the same (as a first luxury watch and daily wearer). I notice the strap is a darker brown without the white/lighter sticking which appears on other photos I have seen. Is this the strap from the Green Opaline? Many thanks, Cam
LF Roll Call
There are some great Galets, Galet Squares, Montres d‘école in this forum. Micro rotors, tourbillons, manual wind movements. Dials in every color, stainless steel or rose gold pieces. All of them mesmerizing, all with their particular style. All beautiful...
Fantastic,
simply gorgeous! This may be my favorite LF. Have yet to see one in the metal but have been quite sure for some time that one day I will own a Laurent Ferrier. Cheers Marc
Thanks, Marc 🙏
Many different options from LF, and almost impossible to make a bad choice. Just a matter of taste. I do love the Boréal version with its stealthy cool look. But I‘m equally tempted by an elegant Galet classic, perhaps in rose or white gold. Or the new Op...
Super cool!
The Boréal twins in one post 😎 Yours looks great, very different style on the black gator strap. Top class!
the "BOREAL" models are perfect for any "Le Mans" drivers
as LF is. The reason he has done this version.
I think the brand is very under-rated for what it is, as much focus is on the sports/steel models at this juncture
I enjoy one at the moment....the LF Galet Classique... in steel it is practical daily wearer yet understated ! the movement is well done, very refined & fills the case - i would very well say, the best micro-rotor movement in the market today ! Almost ove...
So classy!
Love the blue dialled Galet with its flowing lines. And then this Tourby.... you bring out the heavy metal here! Thanks for sharing these beauties, mahesh, and enjoy them some more!
thanks Daniel ! i wish the Tourbillon is mine, but it is our dear Mike's timepiece - i merely took a pic of it !
it is a timepiece i would like to own someday !!
Sorry my friend for the late entry, this beginning of year has been quite difficult
Apart from my very busy planning at work I had to cope with some personal problems. As mod I was of course keeping an eye daily on the forum here but posting much less... But yes of course I'll post my Galet Tourbi with p^leasure
Your Galet Classic is simply a perfect daily wearer,excellent choice my friend
And the Galet Tourbi is definitely great as well: under the radar, versatile, easy to wear in every circumstance, but gorgeous stunning, classy I never get tired of it. I hope for you you have one one day it is among my most loved watches as you know
It's interesting how people have criticized LF for working with Swiss manufacturers for various parts to LF design, while idolizing Philippe Dufour who does the very same thing.
In fact, PD's designs are based on a 1950's movement and so have less horological interest than an LF. Not to knock PD, but just to say that LF has suffered undue criticism.
Interesting point
I‘m not an expert on this at all, but I would think that everybody in the Swiss watch industry does rely on collaboration with external suppliers. Just from the way this industry is organized, I assume much of the innovation comes not from watch houses bu...
Yes, a lot of "in-house" is still done off-site behind the scenes.
The criticism is just something I've noticed in comments in various watch fora.
Wow!! What a collection...
I love that Breguet dial and the brown dialled Galet Square is just my thing! Are those all steel models or some white gold too? A true aficionado you are, Mr. Gatsby!
that galet square brownie is mind blowing!
Killer duo with the galet classique Bréguet numerals. Bravo !
My Origin Opaline, loving this manual wind time-only model
I just collected this in October and it's been on my wrist ever since! ...
And with good reason 👌🏻
It‘s a gorgeous piece! Love the titanium case and the minimalist backside. Thanks for chiming in, analog_sheen.
A very elegant Classic you have here
Is the Pt case a special order or a LE? It just oozes class with this white enamel dial.

Thanks for the compliment.
So far I have not seen one in the wild except for one sold in the secondary market by A Collected Man.
Here is my 'Montre Ecole' in steel
and I probably go for the Galet Micro-Rotor early next year. This brand is so well made, while it looks so simple. GEO ...
A very under-the-radar choice
... with the Montre d‘école case and the silver dial. For connoisseurs only! Thanks for sharing this, Geo.
Stunning version!
I‘m a sucker for Ferrier‘s sector dials! So special, so classy... Thanks a lot, chap.
Here is my recently acquired LF, if has the
Most beautiful dial of all my watches...Jim ...
Amazing enamel work!
Hope travelling will resume soon for you so you can make use of this beauty. Thanks for sharing it here, Jim! Daniel
Perfection
It may be the classiest, most understated watch, at all! Thank you Mike for sharing this enameled beauty. No LF roll call could be complete without it. Enjoy your Sunday! Daniel
