With the creation of the new Sport Auto “On Track”, Laurent Ferrier decided to pay tribute not only to Only Watch's colourful and vibrant theme, but also to its founding history associated to the world of motor racing.
Once again, Laurent Ferrier is proud to support Only Watch for this 10th edition. For this occasion, Laurent Ferrier has created a unique timepiece that embodies the history of the brand.
Laurent Ferrier has long been involved with motor racing since François Servanin and Laurent Ferrier, the two founders, joined forces in the 1970s to take part in the 24 Hours of Le Mans. Their friendship forged on the track led to the creation of the brand.
This new, unique and distinctive dial features charcoal grey gradient shades that resemble the appearance of asphalt. On the outer edge of the dial, a track pattern alternating yellow and blue acts as a boundary for the dial, evoking the speed bumps delimiting the bends in the racetrack. The hour-circle is surrounded by a green transfer. Finally, the white small second dial combined with the tone-on-tone indication 'OW', appears to indicate the finish line or the very objective of the race played on this unique timepiece.
While bearing witness to the power of encounters and passions, the 'Sport Auto On Track' is a tribute to both the rich history of Laurent Ferrier and that of Only Watch.
EXPERIENCE
Laurent Ferrier is very pleased to invite the future owner of the Sport Auto "On Track" to a complete visit to the LF workshops. It is like following the entire path of the creation of a watch, from the first creative stages to the final touch. You will have the pleasure of meeting all the creators who brought your timepiece to life. We'll welcome you to live the whole LF experience and see, with your own eyes, how each detail is the object of meticulous care.
HISTORY OF THE BRAND
As a third-generation watchmaker, Laurent Ferrier has always believed in perpetuating the exceptional nature of Swiss horology. A hallmark of each LAURENT FERRIER creation is the harmony he manages to achieve between pure, balanced design inspired by centuries of history and technically avant-garde movements.
The idea was to design classical and timeless timepieces, assembled by hand with high-quality materials. Laurent Ferrier had carte blanche, so he seized this opportunity in 2009, at the age of 63.
The very year of its official launch in 2010, LAURENT FERRIER won the award of best men’s watch at the Grand Prix de d’Horlogerie de Genève for the Classic Tourbillon Double Hairspring – its very first creation.
Since then, LAURENT FERRIER keeps on demonstrating its ability to create timeless timepieces devoid of any superfluous detail, with a pure aesthetic. Time should have no hold over his collection that displays an authentic sense of detail.
