Cool and elegant sounds good to me
I won’t be surprised if LF issues another version of the Classic with a different dial color soon. The green dial LE sold out quickly, I believe, and I’ve heard that the white Opaline model has been selling well, perhaps in part because of the lower price point (in comparison to other LF models) but also because the watch is, IMHO, captivating.
Ferrier Classic Origin v Square
Friends, I have decided my next acquisition will be a LF. I just love almost every model he releases and his overall vision. But I’m torn between the Classic Opaline and the Square Micro-Rotor. Here are stock photos from the LF website of the two watches ...
All I would say is, take enough time for your decision
because it is really hard. From a visual point of view, they all look great. I love the Classic and the Montre Ecole a lot and especially the Classic fits like a glove on my 18cm wrist. For me, the Square was too clumsy and not really comfy on my wrist, w...
Cushion case for me
In that dial configuration, either colour works. He did a really nice porcelain dial a few years back with tall / condensed numerals all round and red accents (below), great combination ...
The regulator is pretty interesting too
But a little niche, considering the competition within his own ranges ...
Agreed
I usually prefer manual winds. My only apprehension here is whether the Classic is too dressy for me right now as I no longer wear my dressier watches as I used to. But the fact that it is titanium suggests to me that it can be dressed down for more casua...

I personally
would go for the Square Micro-Rotor. It has a case form that’s not often seen. And for me the Square has more wrist presence, is much more casual and definitely … cooler. And has a purer dial with even more power. But that’s just my personal taste. And I ...
Yes, I asked!
I appreciate your view. I was hoping for a unanimous WPS opinion, but I knew that would be unrealistic. Thank you.
I had the same dilemma
With basically the same two choices. I really liked the cushion shape, numerals and the micro rotor movement on the square. I always found that movement to epitomize LF. When thinking of my use, mainly a weekend watch, I realized I didn't actually need a ...
Very helpful.
Exactly my dilemma! Fabulous photo that definitely highlights that I could wear the Classic casually. Thank you.
Though both are beautiful watches independently, yet if I've to choose one, I'll go for classic as more colorful dial makes it more beautiful
Whatever you take, you'll love to wear that. Regards
Laurent Ferrier makes a beautiful timepiece!
I believe either of these works well for a casual use. While that opinion seems obvious for the square case, the classic case gets dressed down because of the sector dial and the numerals on the railroad track adjacent to the bezel. Two reasons I prefer t...
Thanks for the helpful input
I’m getting closer to making a decision but am not quite there yet. Will provide an update when I have decided. And then of course I will likely have to wait quite a while to receive the watch. But the anticipation is some of the fun.
Buy the square!
The numerals and dial are more beautiful than the round model. And even I with my dainty wrist felt comfortable with the 41mm square.
Thank you everyone
Interestingly, by my count opinions are now split 5-5 between the two watches. I guess that confirms that both watches are well appreciated by our community. I’ll do some more thinking and will let you know what I decide, and more important, why. Thanks f...
I can only confirm it’s a very difficult choice you have to make…
From my experience both cases Classic and Square are really nice, both are very versatile classy / dressy for sure but so easy to wear, both extremely comfortable (on my wrist at least) so for chosing one of the two don’t try to rationalize but let your h...
Gorgeous!
Thank you for sharing. Very interesting to see side by side. Love them both!
as much as I love the classic
I would buy the square. I can buy something else in round anytime
Both beautiful but…
…two very different movements. The natural escapement FBN 229.01 is a beautiful calibre. I really like the aesthetic of both watches but when you turn them over there’s only one winner for me at least. ...
Amazing photos
Certainly agree that the movement on the Square is more interesting. You captured its beauty very well. Thanks for weighing in.
The classic dilemma
Hello! You are making an excellent choice by picking a Laurent Ferrier as your next watch. Even though you have narrowed your choice down to two watches from his lineup, they are very different indeed. I can empathize with you that this can be a very diff...
Very helpful comments.
Thank you. I am leaning towards the Classic Origin. Will start a new thread once I’ve made the decision so I can update everyone who took the time to weigh in.
I personally think the square is more unique
If I had to choose one it’s the square. But that said this is a personal choice. I ended up buying 3 LFs, so I happen to own both case shapes. Best Gatsby
