Lot Essay

This endangered species strap is shown for display purposes only and is not for sale. The watch will be supplied with a calf leather strap.

The present Galet Traveller model is preserved in like new overall condition.

Launched at the 2015 Salon International de la Haute Horlogerie in Geneva, the Galet Traveller is a true representative of Laurent Ferrier’s horological values: simplicity, precision and pure, uncluttered beauty.

It's sapphire crystal display case back reveals the complex calibre LF230.01 self-winding chronometer movement certified by the Besançon Observatory in France, featuring a solid gold micro-rotor with a “silent block” shock-absorbing system. The ultimate in precision is provided by the natural escapement with double direct impulse directly on the balance from a self-lubricating silicon pallet lever.

LF230.01 was designed to adapt to the dual-time adjustment mechanism, requiring two years of development for the integration of each component within the overall construction of the base calibre.

A technical and aesthetic triumph, the Galet Traveller exudes discreet sophistication and quality at a glance, the ideal watch for today’s international traveller
