Nothing could be farther from the truth. The deceptively simple - and elegant beyond measure - case houses a masterpiece of engineering: the double spiral tourbillon. With its rounded bezel, curved lugs and hallmark onion-shaped crown, the Galet Classic Double Spiral Tourbillon perfectly encapsulates the spirit of the Laurent Ferrier brand. In his own words, Ferrier's pieces focus on delivering "simplicity, precision and pure, uncluttered beauty" which is exactly what one finds in this piece. - Behind the dial lies the heart of the watch, and in this case, the Double Spiral Tourbillon. Inspired by Abraham-Louis Breguet's double direct-impulse escapement invented by Abraham-Louis Breguet, the tourbillon features a double hairspring balance, which consists of two hairsprings one atop the other that beat in opposite directions, meaning that one spring erases the variations of the other, which permits greater accuracy. - Most interestingly, we believe that the present timepiece is a special order as a Red roman numeral can be found on the white grand feu enamel dial at 12 o'clock, which is usually black. The seconds track is printed in black, rather than the habitual red print. The dial furthermore displays "Double Spiral" rather than the commonly found "Tourbillon Double Spiral". Special order timepieces can only be granted to the most exclusive and special clients, making this timepiece an extremely rare specimen due to its unique features.
