Laurent Ferrier Classic Origin for Revolution & The Rake
$ 31,600 Sold Out
Having witnessed the beauty of Aurel Bacs’ sector dial Laurent Ferrier, we worked with the Swiss watch manufacturer to create our special edition in the same spirit but with different details.
While Bacs' watch featured a micro-rotor movement, when given an opportunity to create something on the Classic Origin hand-wound platform, we simply requested that Ferrier create a watch in the spirit of the former but without replicating it. The resulting design by Ferrier and Amandine Perrier was something that we could only describe as ravishing.
It features a two-tone dial with a cream center, surrounded by a printed sector track and Arabic markers. The dial is silver outside the central area, receives circular brushing under the indexes and is opaline under the minute track’s chemin de fer. Seconds are at six o’clock with a full seconds track and four enlarged markers at the compass points. The hands are Ferrier’s signature Assegai models that have been flame-blued and to us contrast perfectly with the cream of the dial.
While we had the choice of titanium or steel, we selected steel. Because first, we found this more appropriate for a scientific-style watch and second, because we wanted to mount the watch on a steel “beads of rice” bracelet with straight end-links — this is our preferred way of wearing the watch. This bracelet was directly inspired by Auro Montanari and his wearing of his own Laurent Ferrier Micro-Rotor Aurel Bacs scientific model on a vintage steel Gay Frères “beads of rice” style bracelet. A second Alcantara strap with Beige lining fitted with Laurent Ferrier pin buckle is, also included.
But that’s not all because we’ve also sourced a second set of blued steel LumiNova-filled hands which are included with our Laurent Ferrier Classic Origin Revolution & The Rake edition. We’ve always loved it when vintage scientific dial watches were ordered with radium hands and as a tribute to this, you now have a choice as to which set of hands you would like fitted to your watch. As we will be offering this watch by preorder, please note to specify if you would prefer the luminous hands or the normal Assegai hands fitted, and we will include the second pair in your watch box.

Those Who Inpired Us
Having witnessed the beauty of Aurel Bacs’ sector dial Laurent Ferrier, we worked with the Swiss watch manufacturer to create our special edition in the same spirit but with different details.

The Dial
Sector dials were designed in the 1920s as a way of more clearly delineating time and were used on both wristwatches and pocket watches. They featured a circular track where the hour indexes would radiate outward. This means that the hour hand would align perfectly with this track and there could be no mistaking its placement. The Laurent Ferrier Classic Origin for Revolution & The Rake has a dial that is inspired by this historical design. The hands on the watch are Ferrier's typical Assegai hands, but we've also sourced a second set of blued steel LumiNova-filled hands. As we will be offering this watch by preorder, please note to specify if you would prefer the luminous hands or the normal Assegai hands fitted, and we will include the second pair in your watch box.

The Bracelet
We opted to create the watch in steel because we wanted to fit it on a steel “beads of rice” bracelet with straight end-links — this is our preferred way of wearing the watch and was directly inspired by Auro Montanari and his wearing of his own Laurent Ferrier Micro-Rotor Aurel Bacs scientific model on a vintage steel Gay Frères “beads of rice” style bracelet. A second Alcantara strap with Beige lining is of course included along with the Laurent Ferrier buckle.

The Movement
Instead of the sandblasted black rhodium finish that is typical of the LF 116.01 calibre, we requested a finish that was used only once before on the Laurent Ferrier Montre École in steel. That is a yellow-gold or champagne finish, micro-sandblasted to appear almost like a frosted finish.
