Lot Details
Limited to just five pieces, this Laurent Ferrier Traveller Globe, created for William & Son, features a stunning champlevé enamel dial with a subtle red enamel tip marking the United Kingdom to celebrate the origins of the British watch retailer. Its elegant 41mm case houses Laurent Ferrier’s finely finished micro-rotor movement, offering local and reference time with effortless clarity. In Their Own Words: "In 2016, our London retailer William & Son, led by Mr. William Asprey, wanted an exceptional piece for their new store on Bruton Street in London. He dreamed of a special edition of our Traveller Globe Night Blue, featuring a champlevé enamel dial. As a tribute to him, we added a red enamel tip to highlight the United Kingdom. This creation, limited to only five pieces in red gold, remains one of the most beautiful interpretations of our Traveller collection. Its 41mm pebble-inspired case displays local time, reference time, and the date linked to the selected time zone. It houses a self-winding mechanical movement with our micro-rotor natural escapement and a 72-hour power reserve. The sapphire case back reveals hand-finished decorations made entirely in our workshops, along with the William & Son engraving. Through this piece, I wanted to celebrate craftsmanship, mechanical innovation, and the friendship that united us with our London partner." - Laurent Ferrier, founder of Laurent Ferrier
