Laurent Ferrier's Minute Repeater is a Journey of Watchmaking Expertise

We're talking about Laurent Ferrier's Minute Repeater, housed in the brand's School watch case The chime is clean and pure-a fitting musical accompaniment to Laurent Ferrier's now-famous aesthetic codes The look of the movement was wholly influenced by Ferrier himself.

"Back in 2009, the movement design was inspired by the original work of A.L Breguet whose design principles are available in the book Complicated Watches by Antoine Simonin," explains Laurent Ferrier "This is a bible for movement designers-particularly for minute repeaters My son Christian was involved in this project since its inception" Both Laurent Ferrier and his son were also involved in the brand's Double Hairspring Tourbillon, and in the interest of launching this watch as a debut for the small brand, the decision was made to postpone the minute repeater indefinitely.

In 2017, Ferrier decided to reopen the project using the same design, but with some technical updates Ferrier entrusted the critical job of assembly and tuning to an independent watchmaker who is a longtime friend. . Source
