Laurent Ferrier École Annual Calendar

“Blue Sector” Dial

Reference: LCF025.AC.CW | Manual Wind | 80-Hour Power Reserve

The Heritage: “Montre École”

The École (School Watch) case is Laurent Ferrier’s personal tribute to his watchmaking origins. Inspired by mid-20th-century apprentice pieces, the design bridges the gap between pocket watches and modern wristwatches.

  • Bassiné Case: A 40mm “rounded” profile—resembling a smooth, water-worn pebble—offering an incredibly ergonomic fit.

  • Pastille Lugs: Distinctive straight lugs that provide a vintage, sophisticated stance on the wrist.

The Dial: Vertical Satin & Sector Depth

The LCF025.AC.CW features a multi-textured Galvanic Blue dial that shifts beautifully in different lighting conditions.

  • Dual Finish: A vertical satin-brushed center contrasted by a circular satin-brushed hour ring.

  • Sector Layout: 1940s-inspired technical aesthetic with light blue and white painted indices.

  • Signature Hands: 18K White Gold “Assegai” hands, painted white for maximum legibility.

  • Display: Day and month apertures at 12 o’clock with a central red-tipped hand indicating the date on the outer scale.
