Independents

Laurent Ferrier showed two new models, the Galet Micro Rotor "Montre Ecole" and the Galet Classic Tourbillon Double F.

With the Galet Classic Tourbillon Double F Ferrier for the first time opens the tourbillon so it can be seen from the dial side.  It is stunning, see for yourself.

The Galet Micro Rotor "Montre Ecole" is a micro-rotor movement  in a new smaller case.  The case reminds us of a small pocket watch case, rounded both front and back.  The addition of small horns allows its use as a wrist watch.  I really like this case.  It is not as elegant as the Galet case, but finer.  A great new addition to the Ferrier line.

Those dials, those hands, that micro rotor.
Perfection is in details and the finishing level is excellent, no need to use a loupe.
He's the only one i'd compare to Journe, mostly for the elegance and uniqueness of the dial.

Now i'm waiting for some complications; not necessarily a minute repeater, a nice chrono would be enough (as appetizer).
I wish him and his factory all the best, i see in this man a real plan for the future, no noisy claims, no odd marketing choices (cheesecake), only the ability and proficiency of the real swiss made....but i'd rather fabrique en suisse.

Same for the lugs. By far, I prefer the design of the Galet Classic.

Best wishes

All their watches are sure to age gracefully, without looking dated.

At SIHH, they displayed the antithesis of the offerings by Roger Dubois and Richard Mille.

 

Very well executed but I prefer the design of the Galet square.

I was at the SIHH too and I was told that the galet micro rotor remains at 40mm but with a different dial.
