After winning the GPHG for its Grand Sport Tourbillon Pursuit which
chased the warm colours of dawn, LAURENT FERRIER returns to its Classic
first love. Taking us once again on a quest for the skies, this time, it
is more ambitious with its new Classic Moon.

The LAURENT FERRIER atelier proudly presents two outstanding interpretations of their Classic collection. Both versions have an Annual Calendar, and the brand’s first ever moon phase complication. The Annual Calendar Moon Phase is set within the poetic curves of the design chosen by the GPHG as Best Men’s Watch in 2010, the year the brand debuted, a fitting frame for its first lunar complication.
THE CASE DESIGN
The Classic case has the LAURENT FERRIER signature in each sweep of its pebble-smooth curves, with a choice of polished stainless steel or 18-carat red gold. The recognizable and studied shape results from a considered and discreet design evolution, encapsulating two distinct dials with intricate hand-finished details. In presenting two distinctive and complimentary red gold and steel references, the watchmaker offers a new interpretation of the classic stylistic codes for which the brand is known.Both versions have a balanced 40-mm case and delicately curved lugs that offer a smooth, ergonomic presence on the wrist. The aesthetic has all the hallmarks of the LAURENT FERRIER design language, with a gently curved bezel and the pleasure of setting the watch using the ball-shaped crown.

The
Annual Calendar Moon Phase reveals a sapphire case back that offers an expansive view of the new
LF126.02 calibre, accompanied by the Olivette on the case back bezel, at 6 o'clock, making the movement accessible to the watchmaker. The gently curved ball crown winds and sets the date and time. A flush-fitted corrector at 10 o’clock is used to adjust the day display, while a second corrector between 8 and 9 sets the moon phase complication with its enigmatic Aventurine glass design.
CLASSIC MOON SILVER
The Classic Moon, with its annual calendar and moon phase, embodies classical elegance, thanks to its meticulously curated dial. The very gentle vertical brushing creates a subtle and delicate interplay of light, giving a sense of purity despite displaying a wide range of indications.

Encircling the slender Roman numerals and baton markers is a chemin de fer minute track in a rich shade of petrol blue with the 31 date numerals in a classic font. The 31st is rendered in a luscious shade of cherry red, matching the central date pointer.

Deep-set just below 12 o’clock are two bevelled windows framing a weekday display on the left and the month on the right. The hour and minute hands are slender, ruthenium-treated white gold versions of the Assegai-shaped hands. A debuting feature, resplendent in blue, will inspire a closer look at six o’clock.
At the base of the dial, knowledgeable collectors will recognize a slightly expanded version of the small seconds display. It is intertwined with the first ever Moon Phase complication by
LAURENT FERRIER, with a distinct and intricate design in eye-catching Aventurine glass and a translucent enamel.

Classic Moon is paired with a brown calf leather strap with a matching Alcantara lining.
CLASSIC MOON BLUE
Like the silver dial, this second version of the Classic Moon by LAURENT FERRIER exudes an unmatched refinement. Its monochrome dial brings a modern twist to the classic design, and a daring yet delicate interpretation of the annual calendar moon phase model.

Set in a stainless steel
Classic case, the tonal grey-blue dial
reveals a contemporary feel enhanced by the opaline finish. Its shades
contrast beautifully with the crisp graphic of the white Roman numerals,
giving the traditional font a dynamic edge. In this version, the
encircling date numerals are rendered in a pastel blue, while the 31st
stands out with a fresh azure hue, matching the central date pointer.
Its tip touches the chemin de fer outer circle, while the slender
Assegai-shaped hour and seconds hand are rendered in white-lacquered
white gold.

At six o'clock, the first ever
LAURENT FERRIER moon phase display
will undoubtedly draw attention with its captivating Aventurine glass
display, brought to life by the artisan's skills. This is set within a
recessed grey-blue opaline circle with powder-grey markers, offering a
soft contrast to the opaline grey-blue dial. The rich blue of the
captivating moon phase display embodies the understated elegance that
sets any
LAURENT FERRIER apart.

This version of the
Classic Moon is presented on a hand-sewn dark grey Nubuck strap with a soft Alcantara lining.
THE MOON PHASE COMPLICATION
As the first ever lunar complication from LAURENT FERRIER, this new
creation is the pièce de résistance shared by these two new references.
At the centre of the small seconds dial, an enigmatic dark blue moon
disc represents the cycles of the moon.

First, Aventurine glass from
Murano artisans is engraved to create the shape of the moon and stars
with hand-applied white paint for the details. The moon and stars are
then hand-filled with Super-LumiNova and fired at high temperatures.
Afterwards, the Super-LumiNova is further engraved to create craters on
the moon’s surface. The magnificent moon phase disc is then adorned with
a translucent petrol blue enamel applique, imbuing it with an
enchanting and sophisticated effect.

An understated miniature baton pointer in white-lacquered or
ruthenium-treated white gold indicates the seconds. The lunar phases of
the Northern Hemisphere are opposed to the Southern Hemisphere moon, as
indicated by the
N and
S markers between the small second markers.
Reflecting the LAURENT FERRIER brand, this first moon phase complication combines traditional age-old watchmaking craftsmanship with current modern sciences and technologies.
A REVISED CALIBRE
These two new LAURENT FERRIER Classic Moon phase references feature an annual calendar with a precision moon phase: a first for the watchmaker. The annual calendar complication recognizes and distinguishes months with 30 and 31 days, automatically advancing to the 1st of the month when appropriate.

Manual adjustment is only necessary once a year, on March 1st, to adapt to the varying number of days in February. A discreet flush fitted corrector is set on the left side of the case between 8 and 9 o’clock to adjust the moon phase display.
The date is adjusted the same way using a setting pin via a second corrector at 10 o’clock. All other adjustments are easily made using the trademark ball-shaped crown.

Inspired by the brand’s previous annual calendar movement, the
LF126.01, the new
LF126.02 is a redesigned and improved version with an 80-hour power reserve, replenished through the crown. Over 30 new components have been added to create this new calibre, and more than twenty have been revised and optimized. A power reserve indicator is positioned on the case back side of the watch movement.

Highly appreciated by purists, the long blade ratchet pawl is characteristic of all hand-wound
LAURENT FERRIER calibres, offering a polished bassiné finish handcrafted in the LF workshops.

The rear sapphire crystal reveals the mechanism and the finesse of its
hand-crafted surface treatment, executed by
LAURENT FERRIER watchmakers
according to the most demanding criteria of traditional Haute
Horlogerie. Each bridge is adorned with Rhodium-treated Côtes de Genève
decoration. The main plate is embellished with circular graining, while
the edges and interior angles are bevelled and polished by hand, just
like each recessed screw head in the movement.
