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 Classic Tourbillon Double Spiral model is preserved in like new overall condition.
This stunningly understated yet highly luxurious wristwatch is as technically advanced as it is easy to wear. In the words of watch reviewer David Bredan it is “the ultimate in stealth wealth”.
Housed in a beautifully shaped curving solid 18K white gold case and fitted with a polished black onyx dial discreetly inscribed “Tourbillon Double Spiral”, the caliber 916.01 movement is equipped with a one-minute tourbillon certified by the Besançon Observatory. For improved accuracy, two balance springs are used, mounted at 180 degrees opposite one another in order to eliminate isochronal errors and ensuring the balance remains as centered as possible during each oscillation.
From the beginning, Laurent Ferrier immediately opted for excellence and rapidly earned chronometric precision certification from the Besançon Observatory. The company draws upon the sources of traditional horology while offering a renewed vision of movement construction. It represents a bridge between watchmaking traditions embodied in a wealth of details and finishes, and industrial innovations. This renewal of classical values makes Laurent Ferrier a respected new exponent of the exclusive art of mechanical haute horlogerie - a status duly noted by connoisseurs.
In 2010 Laurent Ferrier was awarded the Geneva Watchmaking Grand Prix in the "Men's Watch" category for its first creation, the Galet Classic.
