LAURENT FERRIER's first moon phase sits inside the Classic case that won the brand its first GPHG award, in 2010.
LAURENT FERRIER introduces the Classic Moon Blue, one of two new references and the brand's first watch with a moon phase, paired with an annual calendar.
The stainless steel case is 40mm across, with the brand's ball-shaped crown and gently curved lugs. Its grey-blue opaline dial carries white Roman numerals, Assegai-shaped hands and a pastel blue date track, with the 31st marked in azure blue. At 6 o'clock, the moon turns on a disc of Murano Aventurine glass, engraved by hand, filled with Super-LumiNova and finished with a translucid petrol blue enamel.
The new calibre LF126.02, wound by hand, needs adjusting only once a year, on 1 March, and shows its Côtes de Genève bridges and hand-bevelled edges through a sapphire case back. Power reserve is 80 hours, read from an indicator on the movement side.
The Northern moon and the Southern moon share the same small disc, told apart only by the letters N and S, each keeping its own time above the horizon.
