Independents

For me personally

 

The watch has amazing finishing and one might argue it arguably is the best finished automatic three handed watch in the market. It is also priced below Kari Voutilainen's Vingt 8 which is manual winding but Kari's finishing is second to none and also the Vingt 8 is more exclusive. It is however priced above the forthcoming Leroy Chronometer which is a manual wind watch with another exemplary movement. For me personally, I wish a 37mm or 38mm variant was available as I have a small wrist. Also the market for classic three handed watches with amazing movements is ultra competitive with the likes of Moritz Grossman, Lang and Heyne not to mention Patek, Lange and Vacheron. But again, many independents seem to offer manual movements in line with tradition so Laurent Ferrier might be creating its own niche market here.

I visited my AD in Singapore this week to look at some indie watches and was introduced to Laurent Ferrier Galets. Beautiful watch! The movement finishing with that beautiful (and highly efficient I heard) micro rotor, the "pebble" case (really elegant wi...  

I love this brand

i feel the movement design and finish is super. I don't have one yet, but I must hav tried on a dozen variations. And the new cushion case is so nice too. I'm trending towards the blue dials, as usual, but I love so many dial varieties. Ths wasthe las one...

As you mentioned the price is not indifferent so, while I love it, I think that I won't get one for the time being. It might be too simple (but gorgeous) for the price ..may be a tad too classic like a Patek Calatrava but without the heritage and with a m... 

Agree with you Christian

That was the same thinking I have. Though the LF finishing I feel it\'s a notch above Cheers Robin

I like the watch a lot ... to say the least ...

and when it was introduced it was very good value for the money. Today I still like the watch a lot, but feel like you Robin - very high for such a watch. Increases ... exchange rates ... Once more, I haven´t been quick enough :-( Cheers, Oliver

I understand you spent a very nice time in your boutique! I could handle several LF too. I love their elegance and quite personal style. And I love the movement finishing, shapes and technical characteristics (double impulse escapement). The micro-rotor a... 

Glad you like LF too Mark!
