Laurent Ferrier LCF025 Ecole Annual Calendar SS Blue Dial

This Laurent Ferrier Galet Annual Calendar reference LCF025.AC.CW brings the Ecole case to one of the brand’s most useful complications, a case modelled on the pocket watch Laurent Ferrier made as a watchmaking student. Its manual-wind movement carries an annual calendar, with the power reserve left in the background as it should be on a watch whose appeal lies in clarity rather than display. In stainless steel, the case measures 40mm across and 12.8mm thick, a balanced size that keeps the watch true to Laurent Ferrier's restrained approach. The blue dial gives the piece a cooler, more contemporary register than the warmer metals usually associated with the line. For a collector drawn to Laurent Ferrier at its most understated, this is the annual calendar in its plainest and most direct form, and the model won a prize at the 2018 Grand Prix d’Horlogerie de Genève. It shows how comfortably the brand can translate high watchmaking into an everyday proposition without losing the calm, measured character that defines the Galet family.
