Not bad, not great either
With the Galet Square. Laurent Ferrier has already shown the ability to run out sporty dial variants with successful results. This is a step back.
This Grand Sport case feels less distinct than other Laurent Ferrier cases, borrowing elements from the cases of the Nautilus, Piaget Polo S (itself derivative), the Girard Perregaux Laureato, etc.
It is bigger and it is sportier than anything we've seen from Laurent Ferrier, but I'll match the honesty of the model name in saying that I don't think it will look too great on slender-to-average sized wrists.
Those who love hidden tourbillons will get some extra joy from the higher degree of sportiness. The sportier the watch, the bigger the surprise it would be to find a tourbillon. However, elegance is just as much a part of Laurent Ferrier's DNA as hidden tourbillons are, so I think the trade-off of elegance for surprise, is not worth it.
Laurent Ferrier Tourbillon Grand Sport - new watch !
I took liberty to post the info from the LF newsletter, Moderators - if this shouldn't be published directly please feel free to hold the post. .. Tourbillon opposite double balance on 44 mm steel case on rubber stap - Brown dial with Orange Superluminova...
yup 40 would have been consistent to Galet Sq
i prefer the classic LF too...goes well with the personality of LF himself too
At a first glance , I like it but then I have a couple of doubts ...
While I understand that it’s a “Sports “ watch , I can’t get over the fact that it has a Tourbillon movement... The case is nice , with some mixed lines (Piaget, Journe Octa ), the movement has a lot going for it but not paired with a watch on rubber stra...
i think it is different, if you don't think LF it would be easy to accept the design...
but 185k$.....not an easy choice imho.
I like it!
My take is that they are trying to make a big hit luxury sport watch “a la” Gerald Genta. The case has some resemblance to the Nautilus from the back side. Since I like a lot the Nautilus/Royal Oak/Overseas, I tend to like it. Thanks for sharing. René ...
what i like about this is...
the openess of the brand to test and try new things without refraining themself. it is the best way to bring the 'next big design'

My heart likes!!! Thanks for sharing
But I think i'm at the point where analytically i'm against 1972 and onward "sports lux" (heretical i know) While rolex are sports lux in an objective, broader sense, they at least pay homage to real sports watches and they still deliver the (most) robust...
Here is some science :

may be my understanding is incorrect...
we're not allowed to discuss or debate on discounts, valuation of watch etc... we can share already 'known' retail price in general - shouldn't be a wrong thing unless the intent is to trigger unwarranted comparisons. as i say, this is my interpretation -...
Doesn’t seem coherent to me
Not sure if tourbillon is the best fit for a sports watch, especially one that’s designed to celebrate a racing history. The vibration in a race car, even if just driven leisurely, can’t be good for this delicate tourbillon. The orange lume (faux patina?)...
i think it feels this way bcos it is LF...
we've ''classique'' image in our mind when we hear the name LF !
