Unveiling the Laurent Ferrier Galet Annual Calendar School Piece Vintage – an exquisite blend of elegance, technical prowess, and vintage charm. This remarkable timepiece transcends traditional horology with its refined aesthetics and innovative complications, presenting an embodiment of timeless style.

At the heart of this stunning creation is an opaline yellow gold dial, the centerpiece of the watch’s vintage appeal. The warm, vibrant hue of the dial is accentuated by the stark white indicators, along with a white date hand, resulting in a distinct and visually pleasing contrast. Arabic numerals interspersed with minimalistic teardrop markers offer a clear view of time, while the day and month apertures at 12 o’clock complement the date indication around the dial’s periphery.

Encapsulating this magnificent face is a robust stainless-steel case, offering a contemporary contrast to the watch’s classic appeal. Measuring a comfortable 40mm, the case showcases Laurent Ferrier’s trademark ‘pebble’ design, an inspiration drawn from the smooth contours of pebbles found in the streams of the Alps.

This model is powered by the LF126.01 movement, visible through the sapphire crystal case back. This manually wound movement, beating at 21,600 vibrations per hour, exhibits a power reserve of 80 hours. Its finish boasts meticulous details, such as the Côtes de Genève motif and circular graining, a testament to the maison’s commitment to craftsmanship and precision.

The watch’s crowning glory is its annual calendar function, intelligently designed to automatically adjust the date according to the number of days in the month, requiring manual correction only once a year in February.

Completing the Laurent Ferrier Galet Annual Calendar School Piece Vintage is a hand-stitched brown alligator leather strap, perfectly echoing the watch’s sophisticated and classic allure.

Laurent Ferrier – bio

Introducing its first watch to critical acclaim in 2010, Laurent Ferrier was founded by long-time Swiss watchmaker of the same name. Following a 37-year career as technical director at Patek Philippe, Mr Ferrier founded the brand in 2008, creating timeless wristwatches inspired by the finest wrist and pocket watches from the nineteenth and twentieth centuries. Revered by collectors around the world for their genuine innovations and understated elegance, the brand specializes in exquisitely hand-finished movements featuring state-of-the-art watchmaking technology. Galet, or “pebble” in French, describes the signature feature of the brand’s cases used across its collection — with soft curves, domed crystals and rounded edges reminding one of a smooth pebble.
