Laurent Ferrier Galet Traveller US
Watch lovers in the USA will be thrilled with the newest timepiece being released by Laurent Ferrier. We’ve written about this brand before here and we know it is a particular favorite of those who appreciate not only classic elegance, but also superlative watchmaking. Now, Laurent Ferrier unveils a new USA Special Edition Galet Traveller Enamel watch with cloisonné dial limited to 8 pieces in white gold. Designed and built in Geneva by Laurent Ferrier, the dual-time zone watch is based on the 298-part, self-winding Traveller movement, with pawl-fitted micro-rotor and a double direct-impulse escapement that is fitted directly on to the balance. The two push-buttons integrated into the left-hand side of the case serve to move the local time — shown by the central hand — either forwards or backwards. The current date automatically changes at midnight, while the aperture at 9:00 indicates the reference or home time in 24-hour mode. The alluring dial of the 41 mm watch deftly depicts the American continent in all its glory via grass green and vivid ocean blue hues hand-painted with the utmost attention to detail. The dial is surrounded by a circular satin-brushed midnight blue plate with gold indexes. The watch is finished with a full-skin square-scael hand-stitched alligator strap. The watch, slated to hit stores in November, retails for $79,000with the traditional ardillon buckle, or $82,000 for the folding buckle.
