**Laurent Ferrier** is an [[independent]] Swiss watch manufacturer active since [[2010]].

===== Overview =====
Laurent Ferrier and François Servanin took third place in the Le Mans 24 Hours race in [[1979]] and decided to form a watch company as their next challenge. It would be [[2009]] before they set about making this dream happen, but finally established **Laurent Ferrier SA** that year.

In [[2010]] Laurent Ferrier, with the presentation of his first model, launched the watch brand with the [[Laurent Ferrier Galet Classic|Galet Classic Tourbillon Double Spiral]]. This watch would be selected "Best Men's Watch" at the prestigious [[Grand Prix d'Horlogerie de Genève]] in November, putting the young brand on the map. Their next achievement was the [[2011]] [[Laurent Ferrier Galet Secret|Galet Secret Double Hairspring Tourbillon]] which features a hidden dial that opens at the push of a button or on a pre-set schedule.

Laurent Ferrier launched a [[micro rotor]] movement in [[2012]] with the [[Laurent Ferrier Galet Micro-Rotor|Galet Micro-Rotor]] which also incorporates [[Abraham-Louis Breguet]]'s "natural" [[escapement]]. The [[2013]] [[Laurent Ferrier Galet Traveller|Galet Traveller]] adopts the micro-rotor as well, with a [[second time zone]] complication using a [[rising hours]] display at 9 00. Their Micro-Rotor models would become the staple product of the company, with the [[Laurent Ferrier Galet Square|Galet Square]] taking the "Horological Revelation" prize at the [[Grand Prix d'Horlogerie de Genève]] in [[2015]]. The company won the Men's Complication Watch Prize at the [[2018]] GPHG for the Galet Annual Calendar School Piece.
