Laurent Ferrier returns to his racing roots with Grand Sport Tourbillon

Laurent Ferrier is renowned for its perfect movements, its passion for detail and artisan skills, its classic dress watches Back in the 1970s, he competed at the Le Mans 24 Hour race seven times and, in 1979, came third with co-driver François Servanin, who later became co-founder of Laurent Ferrier in 2008 This makes the launch earlier this year of the Laurent Ferrier Grand Sport Tourbillon more understandable, and the timing could not be better because the world cannot get enough of steel sports watches that can be worn every day, but have the watchmaking and artisanal chops of a watchmaker like Mr Ferrier.

Another passion of Laurent Ferrier is the tourbillon In 2010, the company wpm the GPHG Best Men's Watch Award for its Classic Tourbillon with its hand-wound movement featuring a tourbillon and a double balance spring The Grand Sport Tourbillon uses with the same movement, and Laurent Ferrier has had the insouciance to expose it only through the watch's crystal caseback; a secret that only the owner knows.

Laurent Ferrier has never made a watch with an integrated steel bracelet, but looks like an instant master of the difficult process by creating artistic contrasts between satin and polished finishes on a three row arrangement of rounded links. . Source
