Independent watchmaker
Laurent Ferrier
Also recorded as: Laurent Ferrier SA · Ferrier, Laurent
Geneva independent founded by a former Patek Philippe watchmaker; its first watch, a double-spring tourbillon, won at the 2010 Geneva watch prize.
Laurent Ferrier spent more than three decades at Patek Philippe and was also a racing driver, finishing third at Le Mans in 1979. In 2010 he founded his own brand with his son Christian and François Servanin. Its first model, the Galet Classic Tourbillon Double Spiral — a tourbillon with two balance springs mounted in opposition — won the men's watch prize at the Grand Prix d'Horlogerie de Genève that year.
The watches are known for rounded 'galet' (pebble) cases, restrained dials and natural escapements developed for the brand.
