  After 37 years within the prestigious Patek Philippe manufacture, Laurent Ferrier decides to create his own brand of exclusive watches with his son Christian: Laurent Ferrier Genève. The brand'sapproach is based on traditional values of craftsmanship, yet oriented towards the future.
  
  The development of the first exclusive Laurent Ferrier Genève movement, the Tourbillon Double Balance Spring, is the result of a creative collective approach with La Fabrique du Temps. The conception and development of the movement and external parts are executed thanks to modern technologies yet respecting at the same time the codes of traditional haute horlogerie.
  
  This first timepiece takes its inspiration from great chronometer competition watches, emphasizing on discretion, quality and precision. The Laurent Ferrier Genève Galet Classic Tourbillon Double Spiral initiates a tradition both innovative and based on centuries old know-how. The option of showing the tourbillon cage through the sapphire case back was inspired by subtle and discrete design.
  
  The hand-wound calibre Tourbillon double balance spring is an exclusive Laurent Ferrier movement which features a concept of two inversed balance springs. This mechanism allows the movement to average out the earth gravity by keeping the balance centre of gravity on its axis.
  You will find a winding system with a very soft design, without the modern check-spring for the pull-out piece. Laurent Ferrier chose to use a long blade type click ratchet, polished and with a curved shape.
  It is a very accurate movement but also sturdy, thought in the least details to go through time and generations and thus to testify of a know-how dating back 200 years.
  It features also a lot of handcraft which can only be done by the expert hand of skilled and passionate watchmaker craftsmen: numerous engaging angles and different curved finishing are here to testify.
  

  The Laurent Ferrier Genève Galet Classic Tourbillon Double Spiral is available in a yellow or white gold 41mm case, with a white Grand Feu enamel dial or a black stone onyx dial.
