by Laurent Ferrier
Description

A subtle blend of past memories and contemporary techniques, this self-winding calibre with off-centred micro-rotor stems from an exclusive conception, developed and tested with the greatest care. It provides exceptional timekeeping qualities and demonstrates the value of an aesthetically appealing and mechanically accomplished mechanism. Collectors will appreciate its design serving to enhance the aesthetic of its main organs.

Features

This automatic calibre features a natural escapement. It offers two exclusive characteristics: a micro-rotor pawl-fitted automatic winding system, assisted by an exclusive silicon double-direct impulse escapement fitted directly on the balance, inspired by the father of modern horology, Abraham-Louis Breguet. This modern construction, associated with the use of cutting-edge materials,
maximises the restitution of energy. 

The exceptional finishes of the movement are crafted in the finest watchmaking traditions. In addition to a Côtes de Genève pattern on the bridges and the circular graining on the mainplate, the flanks are hand-drawn, the wheel spokes are bevelled, the screw heads are polished, and the interior angles of the balance-cock are hand crafted with a burin. The micro-rotor bridge is hand polished.
