Laurent and his son Christian – for the movement’s conception – embark on this great adventure by collaborating with “La Fabrique du Temps” founded by Enrico Barbasini and Michel Navas two outstanding watchmackers. Our objective: • To come back to the great horological tradition, where only the man’s hand can change material into a piece of art. • To manufacture a very limited number of models. • To create accurate and reliable “chronometer” movements. • To design discreet and stylish watch cases made to last. Our hand-wound calibre “Tourbillon double balance spring” is an exclusive Laurent Ferrier movement which features a concept of two inversed balance springs. This mechanism allows the movement to average out the earth gravity by keeping the balance centre of gravity on its axis. This timeless style movement is inspired by great chronometers of the 19th century. Some elements recall “Chronometer Competition Watches” which showed the know-how of the greatest watchmakers craftsmen. We will find a winding system with a very soft design, without the modern check-spring for the pull-out piece. We also chose to use a long “blade” type click ratchet, polished and with a curved shape. It is a very accurate movement but also sturdy, thought in the least details to go through time and generations and thus to testify of a know-how dating back 200 years. It features also a lot of handcraft which can only be done by the expert hand of skilled and passionate watchmaker craftsmen. Numerous engaging angles and different curved finishing are here to testify.MG1
