Introduction

A remarkable timepiece that embodies the essence of traditional watchmaking with a touch of contemporary sophistication, the Laurent Ferrier Galet Square Micro-Rotor is a timepiece that proves just how much modern watchmaking has evolved. Laurent Ferrier, the renowned independent Swiss watchmaker with a tiny production output of around 300 watches per year has built a reputation for creating exquisite and timeless watches, and the Galet Square Micro-Rotor is no exception, with the variant we have here debuting in 2016 as a limited edition of just 10 pieces for the brand’s North American retailers. Showcasing a clean and elegant design with a 41mm cushion-shaped stainless steel case that boasts a domed circular bezel and elegant triangular-shaped lugs, this watch pays homage to the classic timepieces of the past in a truly timeless fashion. Powered by the automatic in-house cal. FBN 229.01 movement, the Galet Square Micro-Rotor offers impeccable precision, reliability and finishing with its variety of finishing techniques on display behind its exhibition caseback. Boasting a two-tone silver sector dial, this steel variant’s display is unmistakably reserved in its execution, playing to Laurent Ferrier’s position within the independent market as a brand that focuses on the highest quality craftsmanship and not aesthetic exuberance for its own sake. With its blend of classic design, exquisite craftsmanship, and mechanical excellence, the Laurent Ferrier Galet Square Micro-Rotor is a timepiece that appeals to watch enthusiasts who appreciate timeless beauty, exceptional quality, and genuine exclusivity.

This reading was taken (crown down) with a ONEOF Accuracy Boutique Edition timing machine at time of cataloging. It is provided as a courtesy only, and shall not be construed as a warranty or guarantee of any kind. Please refer to our terms and conditions of sale for more information.

Condition

Watch is in overall excellent condition. The steel case shows surface scratches and a small nick visible on the bezel at ten o’clock, while the display case back retains well-defined engravings with light surface scuffs and signs of wear. The dial and hands remain like new. It is fitted with a black crocodile strap and a Laurent Ferrier steel buckle, both remaining in excellent condition. Comes complete with inner and outer boxes, warranty signed by Laurent Ferrier, booklet, and cloth.

Please Note: Due to CITES considerations, if the watch is to be shipped outside of the USA, the exotic skin strap will have to be removed.

Our Perspective

A timepiece that lets its craftsmanship do the talking, the Galet Square Micro-Rotor is a thoughtfully designed timepiece that balances a careful combination of mid-century watchmaking inspiration and haute horology.
