Laurent Ferrier made a smashing entrance into the world of horology by winning the prestigious GPHG award for their very first timepiece, the Classic Tourbillon Double Hairspring under the best men’s watch category. This magnificent feat established both the brand’s as well as Classic’s indelible hegemony. Ever since the Classic collection has held a prominent place in the brand’s repertoire with sublime yet characterful timepieces defined by their duality of carrying simple aesthetics with mechanical complexities. Laurent Ferrier Classic watches come with smooth round cases, leather straps, and clean dials featuring minimal complications. Together, these evergreen elements forge a simple yet elegant look, allowing the intricate movement of the watch to take centre stage. Additionally, the signature slender hands and sharp index markers add to the collection's distinct and sophisticated appeal.
Series
Various elegant watches take refuge under the Classic collection. The Classic Origin and Classic Micro-Rotor timepieces, along with the signature elements, feature a minimal small seconds register at six, while the Classic Moon watch sports a moon phase complication at the same position. The Classic Tourbillon showcases a similar dial setup to the other models in the collection, while the caseback provides a captivating view of the beautifully crafted tourbillon mechanism. Catering to globetrotting patrons, the Classic Traveller boasts a dual time zone feature and a lightweight titanium body.
Movement
The Classic Micro-Rotor watches are powered by self-winding movements, particularly with their signature micro-rotor and natural escapement. Moreover, this micro-rotor aids in giving a sleek appearance to the watch. The movement's exceptional performance begins with its unique double direct-impulse on the balance — a special double direct-impulse escapement is made of silicon and is directly connected to the balance. Another watch in the collection equipped with an automatic winding mechanism is the Classic Traveller, whereas, the Classic Tourbillon, Classic Moon, and Classic Origin, all rock a manual winding movement.
