Limited to just 12 pieces, this special edition highlights Laurent Ferrier's technical prowess and finishing expertise while exemplifying the strong partnership with Sincere Fine Watches.

A dial of many firsts

Sincere partnered with the brand to create a uniquely crafted dial for this timepiece. Housed in a 44 mm red gold case, the design features a petrol green guilloché dial, introducing several firsts for Laurent Ferrier. This is the first guilloché dial in Laurent Ferrier’s Grand Sport Tourbillon collection.

Also, the distinctive shade of teal is another debut for Laurent Ferrier, inspired by the waves of the South China Sea that borders Singapore, Thailand, and Malaysia – countries where Sincere has established a strong retail presence in. Chosen to symbolize vitality and resilience, the color reflects the enduring qualities that define Sincere over its 70-year history.

One of the notable features of the Laurent Ferrier Sincere Platinum Jubilee Edition is the distinctive guilloché pattern. This wave pattern not only complements the dial's color but also enhances its depth with a striking black gradient. The guilloché dial appears ever-changing, reacting to light in a way that evokes the dynamic nature of the ocean floor. Beyond its geographical inspiration, this oceanic motif symbolizes Sincere's anticipation of the limitless possibilities for what the future holds. As Sincere ushers in a new era, this dial embodies a forward-looking vision and enthusiasm for what lies ahead.

As with every Laurent Ferrier timepiece, legibility is an essential criterion. Hence, white Super-Luminova was carefully chosen for the Assegai-shaped hands and drop-shaped indices, perfectly complementing the finely snailed small seconds’ display. To further enhance contrast, the white gold hands and indices are treated with ruthenium. Together, these elements create a truly unique dial that serves as a fitting tribute to Sincere’s Platinum Jubilee celebrations.

A sleek bodywork

The Grand Sport case design echoes the graceful, enduring curves seen in racing cars, reminiscent of those Laurent Ferrier once drove. Crafted from 5N red gold, the Sincere Platinum Jubilee Edition aims for sophistication and elegance beyond traditional sport-chic timepieces.

The Grand Sport Tourbillon case predominantly features satin-brushed components with several mirror-polished parts. The cushion-shaped bezel is finished with circular satin brushing and contrasting mirror-polished sides. Similarly, the middle case, reinterpreting the barrel shape, combines vertical satin brushing on the top with a horizontally brushed profile and mirror-polished sides.

The caseback is engraved with "one of twelve," highlighting the piece's exclusivity. Consistent with the entire Laurent Ferrier collection, the case components integrate seamlessly.

A high-performance engine

In 2023, Laurent Ferrier won the Best Tourbillon award at the Grand Prix d’Horlogerie de Genève (GPHG) for its Grand Sport Tourbillon Pursuit featuring the LF 619.01 movement.

The Sincere Platinum Jubilee Edition, housed in a red gold case showcases this same highly efficient engine complete with a Nubuck strap for the first time, adding a touch of sportiness and ruggedness to its elegant design.

Visible through the sapphire glass caseback, Sincere’s 70th anniversary logo is delicately engraved, inviting collectors to admire the movement in all its glory.

Particularly captivating is the tourbillon, a testament to centuries-old craftsmanship pioneered by Abraham-Louis Breguet in 1801. This innovation mitigated gravity's effects on the pocket watch's regulating organ when held vertically, employing two inversely mounted spirals to neutralize lateral displacement of the balance's axis.

The integration of these systems ensures exceptional precision and boasts a power reserve exceeding 80 hours, appealing to chronometry enthusiasts who will appreciate the precision and superior performance of this timepiece, whose beauty is matched only by its accuracy.

A tribute to traditional watchmaking techniques

The movement includes a long-blade ratchet pawl, celebrated not only for its aesthetic appeal with an entirely hand-finished bassinage but also for producing a soft and melodious murmur when winding the watch. Enhanced with horizontal satin brushing and a ruthenium treatment, the movement exudes a sporty character.

Every component of the movement undergoes meticulous hand-finishing. For instance, the tourbillon cage bridge features chamfered edges, bassinage, mirror polishing, and over 30 interior angles meticulously executed by hand in Laurent Ferrier's workshops. The Grand Sport Tourbillon epitomizes traditional watchmaking artistry, elevated by the modernity and elegance of its new case and dial combination.

The 12-piece limited Laurent Ferrier Grand Sport Tourbillon Sincere Platinum Jubilee Edition will be available at all Sincere Fine Watches Boutiques with a retail price of SGD$328,000 (including GST).

Commemorating Sincere Fine Watches' 70th Anniversary, Lang & Heyne proudly introduces the Friedrich III Remontoir Sincere Platinum Jubilee Edition, limited to 7 pieces. As a valued partner, Lang & Heyne was among the three distinguished manufacturers to launch the inaugural SHH Editions at the opening of Sincere's concept boutique, SHH (Sincere Haute Horlogerie), in Singapore back in 2022. This enduring collaboration is again showcased as Lang & Heyne and Sincere Fine Watches collaborate to present the latest Sincere Platinum Jubilee Edition.

Unlike the conventional solid silver dials, this edition features a ceramic dial with a sand-blasted royal blue solid silver decorative plate at the center.

The interplay of colors and textures, highlighted by the frosted givree-finished blue center against the smooth white ceramic periphery and seconds subdial, adds depth and character, enhancing the dial's captivating appeal.

The Sincere Platinum Jubilee Edition draws striking parallels with the inaugural 👉 Lang & Heyne Georg SHH Edition launched in 2022. It features a similar combination of materials, colours, and finishing techniques on the dial and employs the same three-part dial concept.

The seconds subdial, measuring just 0.4 mm thick, sits lower than the main ceramic dial and royal blue silver decorative plate at the center, precisely fitting into the baseplate's recess with sanded outer contours.

Embodying timeless elegance and refined aesthetics

The harmonious combination of decentralized seconds, numerals, and hands creates a visually pleasing and functional ensemble for the Friedrich III Remontoir. The distinctive trigonal bridge is a standout feature of the Caliber VI-I movement architecture, revealing the meticulously crafted gear train beneath.

The balance cock features an intricate pattern, meticulously etched to further enhance the aesthetic of the movement.

Remontoir complication

Lang & Heyne watchmakers' dedication to precision and craftsmanship has contributed to the smooth and efficient power transmission of the movement. Positioned beside the escape wheel of the Sincere Platinum Jubilee Edition, the remontoir complication provides the visual appeal of the jumping seconds on the dial while effectively regulating and controlling the mainspring, resulting in a consistent transfer of energy across the entire power reserve of the timepiece.

  Click, to see the large size. ▶ BIG FOTO

The Remontoir operates by incorporating an intermediate energy accumulator that is regularly re-tensioned by the movement of the gear train. When the primary energy source – the mainspring, transfers its energy to the watch's wheel chain, the Remontoir's locking mechanism temporarily halts this energy flow, redirecting it into an intermediate spring. 

  Click, to see the large size. ▶ BIG FOTO 

This intermediate spring then powers the remaining gears up to the escapement, which regulates timekeeping. A control element moving with the gear train activates the locking mechanism at regular intervals, ensuring a steady and precise release of energy. This process not only keeps the watch running smoothly but also results in a jumping seconds display on the dial.

Designed with timeless elegance in mind, the Friedrich III Remontoir Sincere Platinum Jubilee Edition features a dark blue Alligator Mississippiensis leather strap, known for its durability and flexibility. Recognized for its enduring quality, this strap accentuates Lang & Heyne's commitment to authenticity and functionality.
