Introducing the Laurent Ferrier Classic Moon: A Harmonious Blend of Elegance and Functionality

For those unacquainted with the Laurent Ferrier brand, allow me to illuminate its legacy. Founded in 2010, this Swiss watchmaking atelier has consistently championed timeless aesthetics, precision craftsmanship, and understated elegance. Laurent Ferrier’s watches are revered by connoisseurs for their exquisite details, refined designs, and unwavering commitment to horological excellence.

Now, let’s delve into the star of the show: the Laurent Ferrier Classic Moon. This recent addition to the brand’s portfolio marries tradition with innovation, resulting in a timepiece that captures hearts and wrists alike.

The Case Design: A Pebble-Smooth Marvel

The Classic Moon’s case design draws inspiration from Laurent Ferrier’s award-winning Grand Sport Tourbillon Pursuit case, which debuted in 2010. Evoking the elegance of 19th-century pocket watches and the organic contours of pebbles, this case is a harmonious blend of form and function.

• Material Options: Choose between polished stainless steel or 18-carat 5N red gold. Each variant exudes its own distinct charm, catering to diverse tastes.
• Balanced Proportions: The discreet design evolution culminates in a beautifully balanced 40 mm case diameter. Delicately curved lugs ensure a smooth and ergonomic fit on the wrist. Wearing the Classic Moon feels like a seamless extension of oneself—you’ll almost forget it’s there.
• The Annual Calendar Moon Phase: Nestled within this elegant case lies the brand’s first-ever moon phase complication. The Annual Calendar, a practical feature, automatically accounts for months with 30 and 31 days, advancing to the 1st of the month as needed.

The Movement: LF126.02 Calibre Revealed

Turn the Classic Moon over, and you’ll discover a sapphire case back that unveils the heart of this timepiece—the meticulously finished LF126.02 calibre movement. Laurent Ferrier’s watchmakers have crafted a new movement, and it deserves the spotlight. The Olivette at 6 o’clock allows easy access for servicing, ensuring longevity and precision.

• Setting the Time: The gently curved ball crown winds and sets the date and time, a tactile pleasure for the wearer.
• Day and Moon Phase Adjustments: A flush-fitted corrector at 10 o’clock fine-tunes the day display, while another between 8 and 9 sets the moon phase complication. The enigmatic Aventurine glass design adds an ethereal touch to this functional feature.

The Dial: Understated Elegance

The Classic Moon’s dial is a canvas of restrained elegance:

• Roman Numerals and Baton Markers: Slender Roman numerals and baton markers grace the dial, creating a timeless aesthetic.
• Petrol Blue Charm: The chemin de fer minute track, rendered in a rich shade of petrol blue, frames the dial. The 31 date numerals, presented in a classic font, harmonize seamlessly.
• Weekday and Month Displays: Just below 12 o’clock, two beveled windows reveal the weekday and month, adding practicality without compromising elegance.
• Hand-Painted Moon Phase: At 6 o’clock, the gorgeously hand-painted moon phase complication shines resplendent in blue. The moon and stars are filled with Super-LumiNova, ensuring legibility even in darkness.
• Translucent Enamel Appliqué: The moon phase disc, adorned with translucent petrol blue enamel appliqué, adds a final touch of celestial allure.

In the Laurent Ferrier Classic Moon, horological mastery meets poetic award winning design design—a watch that transcends mere timekeeping to become a cherished companion on life’s journey.
