If you’ve been following Laurent Ferrier for a while, you might have seen their release back in in 2019/2020 of Tourbillon Grand Sport Steel Bracelet watch.
This was Laurent’s first integrated bracelet watch. I really hoped back in the day that Laurent did a time and date only piece, which was more available as opposed to Tourbillon version that was very limited in production. If you wished the same, we’ve all been heard just now 😉
Laurent Ferrier “I grant thy wish”
Laurent Ferrier Sport Auto
Introducing the all-new Laurent Ferrier Sport Auto in time and date only watch in the same integrated bracelet design but a more wearable size of 41.5mm as opposed to the Tourbillon model that was 44mm in size.
The watch comes in a beautiful gradient blue dial and satin and polished finish case and the bracelet. There’s a small catch this time though, it’s not in stainless steel. Rather it’s Grade 5 Titanium.
Can you think of any other integrated bracelet watch made of Titanium?
There is probably one more catch – the thickness. The watch is 12.7mm thick which is naturally not the thinnest watch for integrated cased watches, but it is still manageable. In return, you get 120m of water resistance which truly makes it a sports watch.
