[NWA] Laurent Ferrier …finally…
After much hemming and hawing, I am lucky enough to celebrate a milestone birthday with a present to myself, Laurent Ferrier Classic Micro Rotor in stainless steel. (Newer ones are in precious metal only)
The natural escapement movement was manufactured in partnership with Fabrique du Temps but finished and designed in house at Laurent. All the parts are hand finished with the same standard regardless of positioning in the movement which is what really sold me on the watch.
I ended up with the Laurent because I was looking for a subtle timeless aesthetic with a high finish. I had been wavering between a Patek 5226/5212 and Lange, but I’ve been wanting a Laurent since the Classic Origin dropped. Since this will be my only LF, I decided to go all in for the micro rotor. (As a side note, it looks like all the other movements are Swiss lever)
I also had concerns about servicing since it’s a micro brand but sounds like it’s serviceable by any competent watch maker. (Finishing TBD I guess)
P.S. Sorry for the potato pics, they don’t do the movement justice.
Beautiful choice — is the case size 40 mm? — and love the presentation box as well for its simplicity. Congratulations!
40mm!
It’s lug to lug is about 47mm.
I do love the presentation box. The Speedmaster is comical compared to other higher end watches.

Congratulations on this wonderful acquisition!
This micro rotor movement is wonderful.

Yes, even if the manual wind caliber of the Origin line is beautiful,
I personally like less its modern finishing and it isn't as "spectacular" as the micro rotor.
I enjoy mine very much.
Fantastic watch and a crown
jewel in your, or anyone’s, collection. Congratulations!

Congratulations on getting your Laurent Ferrier Classic Micro Rotor and happy birthday.
It really is beautiful from the great case and crown to the sublime dial and hands and not forgetting the excellent movement. Wear and enjoy it in good health.
