Independents

I finally got my Laurent Ferrier Galet micro rotor too....a week after Horogasm got his in Singapore last week

My eyes were originally set on the white gold, black dial example but eventually I picked the silver dial version after I saw it in the flesh with a gray strap.

The watch is more elegant than I thought and the finishing is simply superb. In fact, the pictures here won't do it justice. Don't worry - I won't bore you with the mechanical details by pretending to be an expert on the 'double direct impulse' system that replaced the traditional lever escapement.

Without further ado:

 

Hey, don't be misled by the little gray box - that's a souvenier from Lange - a portable loudspeaker for the iPhone with excellent sound quality

The mandatory wrist-shot

And how do you like its new home?

I will be wearing it a lot....I promise.

wow, we can't get enough of this one.

It a true strong actor of these high-end timepices, maybe my favorite in that upper stratum.

Thanks for the pictures and huge congratz

Cheers,

Mark

I wasn't too sure initially but over time, this piece grew on me.

Samwan,

I tried on a rose gold and white gold yesterday... I was surprised how much I liked them... even after swearing I wouldn't buy another independent!  This one is tempting me... wear it good health.

Best,

The watch is very comfortable on the wrist and I particularly like the pear-shaped hands and the onion crown. You should seriously think about getting the other one...

now I am assured I didnt make a mistake!!

wei---the Lange speaker got magnets...it will turbo charge the double direct impulse system!!

best,

Horo

If I can match half your good taste mate

let me know if its game on

Already sent you a reply.

On a very seminal piece of recent time ! It deserves lotsa wrist time.

And am contemplating taking it with me.

NT

but the dial on your Moser is astounding! 

Congrats on the new addition and nice collection, too.

I will be in France and Germany for most of Aug but unfortunately would not have the opportunity to swing by Geneve.

been eyeing that one after seeing Horo's pix!

Congrats!

and a great collection!!!

What a beautiful timepiece - both inside and out.  I'll have to take a look at one of these in the metal one day.

Enjoy yours.

I would love to get the Singapore LE but it was too pricey

Your Ferrier is gorgeous.  Your entire collection is absolutely first-rate.

Love them both but they are very different watches.

Another LF owner in this community! Fantastic!

The LF is one of those that grow on you over time.... I went from "ok" to "wow" I would never get sick of the back view!!

Enjoy lots of wrist time!

cheers

In fact, both Kevin's and my collection include a fair number of independents.

Perhaps one day our portfolios may become identical

Cheers

That's a really nice one Sam...

And such a great addition to your fine collection

Wear it in best health my friend!


Sam

I have been telling myself....no more purchases until....the next S.I.H.H./Basel?
