Laurent Ferrier has revisited its iconic model, the Square Micro-Rotor, with the reinterpretation of the classic favorite, the Californian dial, by launching the Laurent Ferrier Square California Edition timepiece. Adapted from the famous Art Deco-inspired dial, which includes specific characteristics like featuring Arabic numerals in the lower part and Roman numerals in its upper parts, the latest release continues to embrace the beloved and refined Laurent Ferrier aesthetic codes. The dial configuration, known in the industry as the Californian, derives its name from a company in California that featured this style of dial in the 1940s. It has since become a watchmaking classic and was initially designed with one aim in mind: to provide optimal legibility in all conditions.
In addition to the mix of Roman and Arabic numerals, this new dial features a grey powdered decal at 12, 3, and 9 o’clock, reproducing the outlines of the brand’s famous drop-shaped hour markers, filled with white SuperLuminova. Laurent Ferrier’s iconic blue dial is enhanced by a sunburst finish and overlaid with a white railway line, reinforcing the legibility that is so dear to the designer. The entire dial is completed by 18k white gold stamped “arrow” shaped hands filled with white SuperLuminova for the hours and minutes. The snailed seconds dial is punctuated with a fine white decal and topped by a red-painted white gold “baton” shaped hand, giving the entire composition a distinctive sporty spirit. Exclusive to the United States, the Laurent Ferrier Square California Edition is limited to just 11 pieces.
