The beautiful movement and architecture. Great finishing. Unassuming dial. All top quality stuff. A worthy grail 👍

And this particular configuration resonates with me very deeply.
Best, Emmanuel

Glad that you have found your grail.

I hope you'll achieve your long term project soon.

It will more likely take a couple of years, but I’ll see if I can make it happen.
Thank you!🙏🏼

I know this because I agree!

Well, I guess we have impeccable taste! 😇

It is not hard to understand how you feel this way about this stunning watch it really is quite magnificent and the white enamel dial with those beautiful and elegant roman numerals and those sleek hands really are something else. Not even counting the tourbillon and beautiful movement from the view of the back, yours is no slouch but I can understand why this one tops it. I look forward to seeing what else you got up to whilst in Geneva as it sounds like you had fun.

I will post more as soon as I have enough time.
Best, Emmanuel

I hope so too but I know it will probably take a couple of years. So not soon, but it’s fine with me.

I have also had the opportunity to visit the LF atelier. A wonderful experience and wonderful watches. And really nice people.

who share some characteristics with the watches they make (or vice versa). Simplicity, kindness, understatement, etc.
I’m glad you consider this watch a pinnacle too.

And of late I’ve been on the track of less is more, hold out for the one that really has an impact on my collecting.  So I am fully supportive of you having several fallow years in order to end up with this beauty.

Yes, I think that being patient and sober to achieve such a goal makes a lot of sense and is the right way to go (for me at least).

I’m sorry that we missed this opportunity to meet ! Hopefully next time!

Best, Emmanuel

Not only I am a big fan of LF in general for their pure beautiful sober and classy design but also for their amazing nicely designed movement and finishing, without mentioning the kindness and professionalism of Laurent and Christian Ferrier…

I’m so happy we share a similar strong taste for these two timepieces!
If the rose gold/slate dial example you photographed so beautifully belonged to AdM it could be my example, as I acquired it from him!
As for your limited steel Tourbillon, it looks wonderful.
Hopefully I’ll be able to own someday the original yellow gold model which sings so dearly to my heart.
Thanks again for sharing your beautiful photos.

…actually it was mine and I simply made a shooting of my watch 😂🤷‍♂️

And the OG Tourbillon, with YG case and white enamel dial is in a league of its own, imo (for my taste, of course).

Thanks for sharing.
