Laurent Ferrier 'Montre Ecole'; first week with his Winter strap!
The print of the strap is quite busy, and I think it works well with the serene dial.
But i am sure many prefer the tan strap.

It is a fetching combination.
I like it better than the tan strap actually. It has a cool (pun intended) look. What a nice texture to the strap that perfectly suits the watch.
Wauw - Im convinced
what type of leather is this? As you say, it works great with the serene dial!
Quite the resonance
Great combo & nice photos... I'd also like to hear the origen of the strap - what is it?
That case of your 'Square' is so well designed
Not really square, not really round; very nice!
I really liked the fit of that watch a lot.

Hey chap, a great sector dial on your Square!
Can you share a pic of the dial? I really love it!
Best,

(though mine has the hours around the minute track, I think I'd prefer it to have the minutes as shown here...)

Achingly beautiful!
Thanks chap. One of the best Galets I‘ve ever seen! That sector dial is simply delicious.
My Boreal says hi.

Man...
Not taking anything away from mine - I love it, and hunted it relentlessly before I persuaded a gent to sell me mine. but I actually think yours is *the* signature LF....
Let me explain.
I’m a massive LF fan, think their movements, ethos as basically a more modernized patek, are all spot on. But their move of having like 15 models is not inline with breaking in as a more reknown brand. To do that, you do two iconic things. You let them sell out. You always hang behind the demand.
With that said, if you were to cut all the other variations and iso on a few iconic staples, I’d put yours as dead LF iconic that I’d start to base the whole brand around should they have strted over and done it right. Like - that watch just stands up to daytonas, RO’s, 5711s, or 3700s. I literally think yours in on that iconic level. But Lf just buries it in all these dial variations and models nobody needs. Just me.
I agree 100% with you
I fully share your view of both the fantastic strengths of LF and their weakness, from a branding perspective, of doing too many things in too many niches (ie Bridge One, dial variety etc.). You actually laid out a sound marketing strategy for LF 
and I agree that the Boréal would be one pillar of that product range. It's a standout piece.
and I agree that the Boréal would be one pillar of that product range. It's a standout piece.When I am thinking of my ideal LF collection, it would be the Galet Square Boréal in steel (check) and a Galet Classic with your sector dial and the beautiful Asegai hands in white gold (no check, sadly). I think these would be the starting point of a strong LF product lineup. And yes, you could do that in 3-4 dial colors over time.
In the meantime, let's enjoy our beautiful Galets, they are superb in every aspect.
Have a great day, chap!

Great combo!
I love mixing a highly-textured strap with a plain dial watch, or a plain strap on a watch with a busy dial.
I also enjoy experimenting different strap combos, this strap is Nubuck, similar vibe with the officer style case haha
Love that soft look of the strap! Especially with that quite busy dial. Well done. [nt]

I like both of them, actually. This one works very well on this watch! [nt]

Absolutely superb watch, and this new strap works very well with it imo
At the beginning I was prefering the Galet Classic case a lot but this new Montre Ecole case grows in me more and more. This multi tone brushed dial is simply awesome, what a superb superb combo.
I also have an elephant skin strap (in black) and I like it A LOT it's really a cool looking texture and yours looks superb in grey, it matches with the watch so well .
The choice between the Galet Classic and the Montre Ecole case
is indeed not easy and took me quite a bit.
Especially the back of the cases is so well done.
