Laurent Ferrier's Classic Auto Horizon: A delightful blend of formal and casual
The Laurent Ferrier Classic Auto Horizon design represents the combination of its Classic case design with the automatic Swiss lever and date movement.
At Watches & Wonders 2025 in April, Laurent Ferrier presented its latest Classic Auto Horizon, a delightful blend of formal and casual, enabling it to easily become both a dress watch and leisure watch!
It's a new iteration in the brand's Classic Auto permanent collection that represents the combination of the brand's Classic case design with the automatic Swiss lever and date movement.
The new timepiece has a round stainless-steel case finished to a pebble-like shape and features an onion-style crown with a diameter of 40mm and a height of 11.94mm.
Its stunning dial colour of light blue lacquer is enhanced by a vertical satin-brushed centre.
The sapphire crystal caseback shows off a hand-decorated movement, with the highest attention to detail.
This is complemented by a circular satin-brushed 'railway track' design on the flange, drop-shaped white gold indexes, spear-shaped Assegai hands in white gold and a grooved small seconds sub-dial at 6 o'clock.
At its heart is the brand's LF 270.01 calibre automatic movement featuring a Swiss lever escapement and a unidirectional ball-bearing system.
The micro-rotor, crafted from 950-platinum, ensures optimal winding power and stability, providing a power reserve of over 72 hours when fully wound.
Meanwhile, a sapphire crystal caseback reveals the intricately hand-decorated movement with the highest attention to detail, showcasing Laurent Ferrier's renowned craftsmanship.
The cutting-edge self-winding micro-rotor movement ensures reliability and a practical date function.
Among the refined finishing techniques are bevelling and mirror-polishing, as well as rhodium-plated Côtes de Genève on all the bridges.
But the watch's key technical and visual highlight of the LF 270.01 has got to be its platinum micro-rotor with engraving illustrating bird feathers.
They are accompanied by chevrons indicating the winding direction.
