I absolutely adore LF! I've got one and have 2 more on order. Wondering if i'm just obsessed or mistaken or if the market is missing something about this brand given that still not many people talk about it like FPJ!?

It's true that the hype train has not picked up LF yet, but second hand prices have sure stiffened up. Hard to find any discounts on these anymore.

Laurent Ferrier just released this Classic Origin Blue in titanium. Approx 30 plus grand. Nicely done - I like it.

The entire Classic Origin lineup - which to this point has been the opaline and green dials - has been in titanium

Apparently it's quite popular. AD said have to wait 1.5 to 2 years if I place an order today.

The square wore a bit too large on my wrist, so I didn’t consider it. But I really like the dial layout and would have strongly considered it if it came in a round case.

Agree! It is an impressive piece. And the Christian and Laurent were extremely generous with their time!!!we must have just missed each other at the show!

It is an awesome piece from an awesome line. I tried it on at W&W. I've been eyeing the white dial version myself.

Seriously considering the Origin blue. Did you have a wrist shot by chance? Thanks

Does Laurent Ferrier entertain small customization requests when placing your order? For example, changing the color of the font printed on the dial from black to white, or going from a polished to a brushed finish on the case?

Sadly, I did not get one. I would highly recommend checking it out, however. It’s better on the wrist than in pics.

I've been disappointed in the lack of hands on coverage from the watch media regarding the Sport Auto. What little I've heard is that the watch is better in person than in photos (often the case with watches). It's good to hear from people who have had one on wrist. I can't wait to get mine later this year!

In case you've missed them: two very good interviews:
