Laurent Ferrier

day.

We had an amazing tour of the Laurent Ferrier manufacturer, which, you know.

mind blowing stuff that they're doing there.

A team of watchmakers who are sitting there with little wee wooden rods and diamond polish and working on each individual component.

Probably not going to set the world alight.

Next, we have the Laurent Ferrier Classic Origin in beige.

It's a rose gold case.

Then there's a Naoya Hida & Co. NH Type 8A, known for his elegant engraved typefaces and simplistic case designs and large crowns.

And if I'm not going to get a ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, I'm going to eat my cap.

You are not an LUC 1860 guy in buying, although it would suit you very much so.

Laurent Ferrier, neither.

Don't know why.

Very similar actually to the Uli Snoddan Freak original escapement before they tweaked it.

But to me, it also, it puts them in the same wheelhouse as some of these independents like Laurent Ferrier who have a natural escapement or others who are using like a detent or a version of a natural escapement.

And to your point, it kind of, it says we're still relevant.

We're still here.

The first one I went to was in 2021, I believe.

And yeah, Grand Seiko, 2022, the Laurent Ferrier, Parmigiani, Fleurier.

It was quite an event.

And the last one, at the end of last year, I think it was, wasn't as good as those original ones.

Uh, it makes complete sense.

But yeah, you had Czapek there, you had Laurent Ferrier were there.

Uh, a bunch that I hadn't even heard of, but just are ama-

Lady Gaga was there.
